Frequently Asked Questions

What are the requirements for LED exit signs?

Exit signs must be UL 924 listed, visible from 100 feet, and maintain illumination for minimum 90 minutes on battery backup. LED exit signs use 1-5W (vs 20-40W incandescent), saving significant energy. Red or green lettering are both acceptable per NFPA 101.

Do I need combo exit signs with emergency lights?

Building codes require both exit signage AND emergency lighting. Combo units (exit sign + emergency light heads) save installation cost and wall space. Most commercial buildings use combo units for efficiency.

How often do LED exit signs need battery replacement?

LED exit sign batteries typically last 3-5 years. Monthly 30-second testing and annual 90-minute testing are required by NFPA 101 and local fire codes. Auvolar exit signs include a test button and charge indicator.

What is the difference between edge-lit and standard exit signs?

Edge-lit exit signs use a thin acrylic panel with LEDs along the edge, creating a modern, slim profile (often <1 inch thick). Standard exit signs use traditional housings with direct LED illumination. Edge-lit signs are preferred for modern commercial interiors.
