LED Exit Sign

An LED exit sign is an illuminated sign that uses LED (light emitting diode) light strips to illuminate the word “EXIT.” LED exit signs have become the most popular type of electrical exit sign because of their efficient illumination and long product lifespan. LED exit signs use less than five watts of electricity and last for 8 to 10 years. Compare that to conventional incandescently illuminated exit signs that use about 35 watts of electricity and last for only three to four months. Exitsigns.net manufactures numerous models of LED exit signs, all of which are approved for use by UL (Underwriters Laboratories) and are compliant with local and federal building codes.

LED illumination has been popular for different lighting applications for more than 25 years. Over the last ten years advances in technology have improved the power, or luminosity, of LEDs. This has allowed the application of LEDs to expand into devices such as exit signs and light bars. Exitsigns.net LED exit signs contain an internal strip of LEDs in colors of red or green. Our LED exit signs come with powerful internal batteries that provide operational power when electricity is lost during emergencies. Exitsigns.net battery backups systems constantly charge while AC power is on and provide a minimum 90 minutes of operational power in emergency mode.

The EXIT series is the most affordable LED exit sign model that we manufacture. The housing is constructed of durable thermoplastic that is available in black or white.
