The 10 Best Lighted Exit Signs

For how robust it is, the LFI Lights Combo (appx. $24) is not terribly expensive, so you don't have to choose between safety and your budget. Its two LED heads are adjustable, and it features nickel-cadmium batteries that are made for the long haul.

There's nothing fancy about the LFI Lights Hardwired 2-Pack (about $32), but there doesn't need to be, because they do the job they were made for without costing a pretty penny. Plus, they're damp location listed, which ensures that they're versatile.

In some cases, it is, indeed, easy being green, such as with this Spectsun Emergency LED (appx. $43). Although it was designed to be installed quickly, it'll last for plenty of time to come, with batteries made for recharging again and again, if need be.

We hope you don't find out the hard way, but the Lithonia Lighting Contractor Select M6 (around $13) can handle rough conditions, thanks to a durable, flame-retardant housing. It also gives you options, because it arrives with an extra faceplate, in case you need lettering on the back.

You probably don't think of emergency illumination as stylish, but the LFI Lights Green LED Edge (appx. $88) may just challenge that assumption. Each has an eye-pleasing, but tough, acrylic face as well as an aluminum housing that looks more upscale than many plastic choices.

No, the Jessup Glo Brite 50-Foot (appx. $72) is not 50 feet tall. Instead, it was made to accommodate up to a 50-foot viewing distance, but if that isn't adequate enough for your needs, a 100-foot model is also available. It comes in several colors, including black and red.

If you have a lot of area to cover, the Sunco Lighting 6 Pack (about $199) could be a big help, especially since each unit offers two adjustable floodlights for safety. These offer a 360-degree rotation, so you can customize the path of illumination to your satisfaction.

You'll receive everything you need for installing the NightBright USA Photoluminescent (about $50), including tamper-resistant screws for security. And, of course, its holes are predrilled, so you won't have to struggle to mount it, especially since there is no wiring required.

The NightBright USA Low Proximity Mini (about $18) provides both lettering and a running man, so it covers all the bases in terms of being understandable. This particular option indicates egress to the right, but a left version is also available.

You don't have to struggle with the Ciata Lighting All LED (around $32), since it provides no-hassle "EZ snap" mounting. And because it's got a bi-color battery condition indicator, it shouldn't cause you too much stress in the long run, either.
