Custom Exit Signs

Yes. Custom exit signs must comply with NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, International Building Code (IBC) egress requirements, and OSHA 29 CFR 1910.37. Emergency lighting and power components must carry UL 924 certification. Some jurisdictions, like New York City under Local Law 26, mandate photoluminescent signage, so local fire code should always be verified.

Common options include LED (most popular, with lifespans up to 100,000 hours), incandescent, electroluminescent, and photoluminescent (glow-in-the-dark, non-electric). LED signs offer the lowest energy consumption and maintenance, while photoluminescent signs are ideal for backup visibility or code-mandated applications without wiring.

Yes, most LED exit signs offer an optional or standard 90-minute emergency battery backup, ensuring signs remain illuminated during power failures. This feature is often required for life-safety compliance in commercial, healthcare, and industrial facilities under NFPA and IBC codes.

Exit signs can be customized with legend text, directional arrows (left, right, down), bilingual wording, face colors (red, green, white, or custom), housing finishes (brushed aluminum, powder-coated, painted), and mounting configurations including wall, ceiling, end, or pendant mount.

Standard custom exit signs typically ship within 3-10 business days, while fully custom fabricated signs may take 2-4 weeks depending on complexity and order volume. Contact our team early in your project timeline to ensure signs are installed before facility inspections or occupancy deadlines.

Pricing generally ranges from $20 to $300+ per unit depending on materials, illumination type, size, and customization complexity. Bulk and volume discounts are commonly available for facilities ordering multiple units across a building or campus. Contact us for a detailed quote based on your specifications.
