The main housing of these exit signs and emergency lights is painted black or made from a black thermoplastic.

A damp location is an interior location normally subject to dampness or condensation, or an exterior location protected from weather and not subject to saturation with water. Damp locations include over bathtubs, indoor pools, covered porches, and like locations.

Edge-lit exit signs come in a variety of housing colors and clear acrylic "EXIT" panel with either red or green letters. They are favored for their high-end look and aesthetic appeal by architects and designers alike. Double-sided models can have a mirrored or solid face that allows the sign to be read from either direction. In-field applicable arrows (chevrons) can be installed as needed.

AC only exit signs do not include a battery backup or charging circuitry and are for installation and use only where emergency power is supplied from a remote or secondary AC power supply.
