Red Exit Sign with Black Housing LED Emergency Light - 2 Pack

Our review of the Red Exit Sign with Black Housing and built-in emergency lights finds it best suited for businesses and institutions that need a reliable, code-friendly exit marker. The single biggest reason to consider this unit is its combination of a UL-listed construction and a Ni-Cd backup battery that delivers a minimum of 90 minutes of emergency operation, so the sign remains visible and helpful during power outages. Installation is straightforward and the red EXIT letters are readable from long distances, making this a practical choice for commercial spaces.

Key Features

• UL Listed construction: Injection-molded thermoplastic with UL-94V-0 flame retardant material offers a durable housing that meets safety expectations for commercial use.
• High visibility: Super bright red LED letters are visible from up to 100 ft, ensuring evacuation routes are clearly marked in most indoor environments.
• Battery backup: Built-in Ni-Cd battery provides a minimum of 90 minutes of emergency operation so the sign stays illuminated during outages.
• Universal voltage: Supports 120V-277V AC operation for flexible installation across a range of commercial electrical systems.
• Multiple mounting options: Includes top, side and back (canopy) mounting hardware in the housing to accommodate different mounting situations.
• Warranty coverage: A 5 year warranty covers defects and quality issues, offering extra assurance for long-term installations.

Who It's For

This exit sign is ideal for building managers, facility maintenance teams, and small business owners who need a code-compliant, easy-to-install exit marker with emergency lighting. It fits well in offices, schools, hospitals, churches, and commercial buildings where a double-face exit sign and reliable backup illumination are required.

Those who should look elsewhere include homeowners or users needing decorative or low-profile residential signs, and buyers who require smart or networked signage features not offered here. If a lithium battery or custom color options are essential, this standardized commercial unit may not meet those niche needs.
