Exit Sign and Emergency Light Combo Fixtures for Outage Safety
An emergency light and exit sign combo combines two critical safety functions in one fixture: it marks the exit location and provides battery-backed illumination during power loss. Combo units are commonly used in commercial buildings where space is limited, standardization is important, or where a single fixture simplifies installation and maintenance.
This collection includes exit and emergency light combo options used in warehouses, offices, retail spaces, and multi-tenant buildings.
Where Combo Units Are Commonly Installed
Exit/emergency combos are often used:
- Above exit doors
- In corridors near exits
- In back-of-house areas needing both marking and illumination
- In facilities standardizing emergency fixtures across multiple locations
What to Consider When Choosing a Combo Unit
- Visibility of the exit legend: ensure clear viewing angles
- Emergency light head coverage: aim light along the egress path
- Battery backup operation: for outage performance
- Mounting style: match the install location
Exit & Emergency Combos — FAQs
What is an exit and emergency light combo?
It’s a single fixture that includes an exit sign plus emergency light heads to provide both exit marking and path illumination during outages.
When should I use an exit sign and emergency light combo instead of separate fixtures?
Combo units are useful when you want a simpler install, fewer fixtures, or a standardized solution in one location.
Do combo exit/emergency lights have battery backup?
Many combo units include battery backup so both the exit sign and emergency lights operate during outages.
Where are combo units typically installed?
They’re commonly installed above exit doors or near egress routes where both exit marking and emergency illumination are needed.
Do the emergency light heads on a combo unit adjust?
Many combo fixtures allow aiming the light heads to direct illumination along the egress path.
Can a combo unit replace an existing exit sign?
Yes—if the location also needs emergency illumination, a combo unit can be a practical upgrade.
Are combo units used in warehouses and industrial buildings?
Yes—warehouses often use combo units near exits and along key egress points.
How do I choose the right combo fixture for my building?
Start with the mounting location (above door/corridor), confirm visibility needs, and ensure the emergency heads can cover the egress path.
