Exit and Emergency Lighting Planning Guide

Egress lighting is a code requirement, not a design choice: exit signs mark the way out and emergency lights illuminate the path during a power loss. This hub organizes the full system, from Exit Signs and Emergency Lights to Combination Exit and Emergency Lights, Emergency Battery Packs, and LED Remote Heads. Build the layout from the egress plan, then confirm run time and coverage.

Match the Fixture to the Egress Need

Each product type solves one part of the egress plan. Match the need to the fixture below, then verify against your code path.

Run Time, Coverage, and Testing

Codes generally require 90 minutes of emergency illumination along the egress path at a minimum light level, with no dark gaps. Space emergency heads so the path stays lit around corners and down stairs. Self testing models run their own periodic diagnostics, which cuts the manual testing burden and documents compliance. Verify the specific requirements with your local authority having jurisdiction.

Wet and Vandal Rated Options

Outdoor, damp, and cold areas need wet location rated units, such as Wet Location Emergency Lights and Wet Location Exit Signs. High abuse areas benefit from vandal shields and wire guards. For remote wiring, LED Remote Heads let a single battery unit drive heads in adjacent spaces without separate batteries.

Frequently Asked Questions About Exit and Emergency Lighting

An exit sign marks the way out with an illuminated EXIT legend, while an emergency light illuminates the egress path during a power loss. Combination units pair both in a single housing over an exit door.

Codes generally require a minimum of 90 minutes of emergency illumination along the egress path. Confirm the exact requirement with your local authority having jurisdiction.

It is a single unit that combines an illuminated exit sign with one or more emergency light heads, used over exit doors that also need the path below illuminated during a power loss.

Yes. Outdoor, damp, and cold areas require wet location rated exit signs and emergency lights so they perform reliably in moisture and temperature extremes. Use the wet location categories for those spots.

A self testing unit runs its own periodic diagnostics on the battery and lamp, signals a fault with an indicator, and reduces the manual testing burden while documenting compliance.

A remote head is an emergency light head wired back to a central battery unit or battery pack, so one power source can illuminate several areas without a separate battery at each head.
