Exit signs with and without emergency lighting

An emergency sign for use in buildings comprising a housing having an interior and at least one side wall in which a message is provided and which message is normally illuminated with a plurality of message illuminating light emitting diodes mounted within the interior of said housing, an electrical circuit for normally connecting said plurality of message illuminating light emitting diodes to an AC source of power supply, at least one emergency lighting lamp mounted to said housing and including at least one emergency light emitting diode for providing emergency lighting upon loss of the AC power source, chargeable backup batteries mounted within said housing, said electrical circuit including means for electrically connecting said plurality of message illuminating light emitting diodes and said backup batteries to said AC source for illuminating said plurality of message illuminating light emitting diodes and for charging said backup batteries and also having means to automatically supply power from said backup batteries to said plurality of message illuminating light emitting diodes and said at least one light emitting diode whenever AC power to said electrical circuit is interrupted, said at least one emergency lighting lamp being at least partially selectively seated in a seated position within said housing or within a mounting member by way of which said housing is mounted to a wall or ceiling of a building, and said at least one emergency lighting lamp being selectively deployable outwardly relative to said seated position such that light therefrom may be selectively aimed.

An emergency sign for use in buildings comprising;

• a housing with an interior and at least one side wall in which a message is provided and which message is normally illuminated with a plurality of message illuminating light emitting diodes mounted within the interior of said housing, at least one emergency lighting lamp mounted to said housing and including at least one emergency light emitting diode for providing emergency lighting upon loss of the AC power source, an electrical circuit for normally connecting said first plurality of message illuminating light emitting diodes to an AC source of power supply, chargeable backup batteries mounted within said housing, said electrical circuit including means for electrically connecting said plurality of message illuminating light emitting diodes and said backup batteries whenever said electrical circuit is receiving AC power input and also having means to automatically supply power from said backup batteries to said plurality of message illuminating light emitting diodes and said at least one light emitting diode whenever AC power to said electrical circuit is interrupted, and said at least one emergency lighting lamp being recessed within said housing in a first seated position thereof, such that the combination emergency sign and emergency light is compact to facilitate storage and shipment, and said at least one emergency lamp being pivotally outwardly and rotatable relative to said housing in order to direct light from said at least one emergency lamp when the combination emergency sign and emergency light is mounted for use.
