Illuminated Exit Sign

You want to make sure that the exit signs are well illuminated and clearly visible under normal and emergency lighting conditions.  Make sure that the signs have plainly legible letters not less than 6 inches high (4 inches is acceptable in existing facilities) with principal letter strokes of at least ¾ inch width.  The illumination must be evenly distributed across sign lettering.  This is a standard life safety code which also applies for surgery center accreditation as well.
