Emergency LED Exit Signs

Emergency LED exit signs are the most popular type of electrical exit signs because of their efficiency and longevity. LED (light emitting diode) illumination technology has revolutionized the electrical exit sign by decreasing energy consumption by 90% and extending product lifespan 40 fold. LED exit signs are a great choice for both retrofit and new construction projects. Using less than five watts electricity at all times and lasting up to ten years, emergency LED exit signs minimize maintenance and energy costs typically associated with conventional incandescent exit signs. For each incandescent exit sign replaced with a LED version, $50 can be saved through reduced operating costs.

LED technology has been around for more than 50 years. Originally developed in Europe, LED technology has progressed from small indicator lights to powerful light strips used in exit signs. There are two types of LED exit signs, diffused view and direct view. Diffused view LED exit signs are the most common type of LED exit sign and feature one or two internally mounted LED light strips. Diffused view exit signs offer even illumination of the exit faceplate. Direct view LED exit signs are the most visible type of exit sign and use over 110 individual LEDs to spell the word “EXIT.” Both types of LED exit signs are UL Listed and approved for use in the United States, Canada, and abroad.
