Lithonia LED Exit Sign, Switchable Red Green, EXRG M6

Description

Product Overview

The Lithonia LED Exit Sign is engineered to deliver dependable, high‑visibility wayfinding in a variety of commercial environments. Constructed from a robust thermoplastic housing, the sign resists impact, moisture, and temperature fluctuations, making it suitable for indoor damp locations and a wide temperature range. The single‑sided design features a clear, easy‑to‑read lettering layout with 6‑inch high characters and a 3/4‑inch stroke, providing a viewing distance of up to 100 feet. Integrated LED technology ensures bright, uniform illumination while consuming only 1 watt of power, extending the lifespan of the light source to an estimated ten years.

One of the standout features of this model is the internal switch that allows users to select either red or green illumination, offering flexibility to meet specific building codes or aesthetic preferences. The sign includes an extra faceplate for added protection and a Ni‑MH (Nickel‑Metal Hydride) backup battery that automatically engages during a power failure, guaranteeing uninterrupted operation. The battery is sealed within the unit, eliminating the need for external battery packs and simplifying installation.</n

Technical specifications include a 277‑volt power source, UL 924 compliance, and adherence to NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code) and NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code). The sign measures 11.63 × 1.63 × 7.24 inches and weighs approximately 2 pounds, making it easy to handle and mount. It is designed for wall‑mount installation, with a mounting pattern that fits standard junction boxes and universal chevrons that can be removed for directional indication. The product comes with a 2‑year limited warranty, reflecting Lithonia’s confidence in its durability and performance.

Beyond its functional attributes, the Lithonia LED Exit Sign embodies a commitment to safety and reliability. The use of LED technology reduces maintenance costs and energy consumption, while the thermoplastic enclosure provides resistance to corrosion and UV degradation. The switchable color option allows facility managers to align the sign with local regulations or corporate branding guidelines without the need for additional hardware. This combination of durability, flexibility, and low‑maintenance operation makes the sign an ideal choice for a broad spectrum of applications, from office complexes and educational institutions to healthcare facilities and retail environments.

Usage

This exit sign is designed for a wide range of commercial settings where clear, reliable egress signage is mandatory. In office buildings, the sign can be installed above stairwells, hallways, and emergency exits to guide occupants safely during an evacuation. Educational institutions benefit from the sign’s durability and easy readability, ensuring that students and staff can quickly locate exits in classrooms, laboratories, and auditoriums. Healthcare facilities, such as hospitals and clinics, rely on the sign’s uninterrupted operation and compliance with stringent safety codes to protect patients, visitors, and staff during power outages or emergencies.

Retail spaces and hospitality venues also find value in the sign’s aesthetic flexibility. The ability to switch between red and green illumination allows businesses to match the sign’s appearance with interior design themes or local signage requirements. Additionally, the sign’s compact size and low profile enable seamless integration into existing architectural elements without obstructing traffic flow or visual appeal. For facilities that require regular testing, the sign’s built‑in diagnostics and easy access to the internal switch simplify routine inspections and maintenance procedures.

Installation is straightforward, thanks to the sign’s universal mounting pattern and pre‑drilled holes that align with standard electrical boxes. Electricians can quickly connect the sign to the building’s power supply, and the internal battery will automatically charge and maintain readiness. The sign’s compliance with UL 924 and NFPA standards ensures that it meets the regulatory requirements for emergency lighting in most jurisdictions, reducing the need for additional approvals or certifications. Whether installed in new construction or retrofitted into existing structures, the Lithonia LED Exit Sign provides a reliable, code‑compliant solution for emergency egress signage.
