LED Exit Lights

A lot of our exit signs also come as an emergency exit lights combo, and you can choose between either green or red exit sign lettering. Be sure to check your state’s building codes, though, because some states do require certain colors. New York and Chicago, for example, require a red exit sign. Other states are fine with either red or green, but actually have a recommended color. Contrary to popular belief, led exit signs aren’t actually battery-powered. Instead, they’re equipped with a battery backup that is able to power up the led exit signs in case electricity goes out. But, for it to work, you’ll need to hardwire it to your building’s external power source. It’ll last you for about 90 minutes, with a re-charge time of about 24 hours.
