Overview
Recessed edge-lit exit signs are the preferred choice for architects and contractors who are looking for an upscale design without sacrificing quality. These signs have compact aluminum housings that fit snugly into most drywall ceilings so that their thin acrylic 'exit' panel appears to float in mid-air.
These attractive emergency lighting fixtures do not sacrifice quality for their good looks.
