Exit Signs

What is an Emergency Exit Sign?

An emergency exit sign is a fitting designed to deliver illumination automatically when there is a power outage. Its purpose is to provide basic lighting on the exit paths, thereby enabling the public to safely evacuate in an emergency situation.

Exit Lighting Tips

• As a rule, buildings with any of the following must have emergency lighting:
• A floor area of 300m² or more.
• A fire-isolated stairway, ramp or passageway.
• All premises with enclosed offices that receive members of the general public.
• Exit lights must comply with the Australian standard AS/NZS 2293.3-2005 Standard For Emergency Escape Luminaries and Exit Signs.
• All exit lights must be inspected at least once every 6 months.
• Australian legislation now requires that exit lights have the image of the running man illuminated in white on a green background.
