Performance & Illumination

Designed to provide maximum visual clarity, the sign utilizes energy-efficient LEDs to brightly illuminate its 8-inch high red stencil letters, satisfying NYC's specific dimensional requirements. The diffuse internal panel ensures the light is evenly spread across the face without hot spots, effectively guiding occupants toward safety during chaotic emergency scenarios.

Electrical & Battery

The sign draws a minimal 5W of power while running on a commercial dual 120/277V circuit. In emergency mode, it automatically switches to an internal 3.6V Nickel Cadmium battery that supplies a full 90 minutes of standby power. The battery fully replenishes within 24 hours. Routine building inspections are easily managed via the manual remote test switch located on the housing.
