Exit Sign Emergency Lights

The general purpose for Exit signs is to designate exits and passageways leading to exits in public properties such as schools, offices, and commercial buildings. These Exit Signs are mounted near escape route doors and doorways and are hardwired into an electrical system to maintain visibility lighting. It is mandatory by the fire department that the Exit Signs maintain visibility during a power outage, when this happens, battery-powered signs switch to their backup power source. If the path to the nearest exit is not immediately clear, arrow or chevron knockouts come with the signs and might be added at the place of installation to indicate the direction of travel to the nearest exit. Local safety rules may stipulate that illuminated emergency exit signs must be constructed from a particular material and feature letters and graphics of a particular color, size, and layout.
