Steel LED Exit Sign Kit
This Acuity Lithonia LXNY W 3 R EL kit provides a steel-housed LED exit sign in a white finish with red lettering. The unit operates on 120 or 277 volt supply and includes a nickel-cadmium emergency backup battery. Directional chevrons are field-selectable for single or double-face mounting. It is intended for commercial and institutional egress lighting.
Suited for standard egress points
The sign fits locations requiring a durable steel housing and universal voltage input without additional lamp heads. Facilities needing integrated emergency lighting heads or a different letter colour should consider alternative configurations. The fixed red LED illumination does not support custom graphics or alternative legends.
120/277 volt dual-voltage operation
This single specification determines compatibility with the building electrical supply. The integral nickel-cadmium battery provides code-compliant emergency runtime when mains power fails. Verify that the circuit voltage matches either 120 or 277 before installation.
Highlights
- Steel housing protects internal components
- LED illumination ensures long service life
- Red lettering provides clear emergency visibility

Questions about this item
How long does the nickel-cadmium emergency backup battery typically last before it needs replacing?
Nickel-cadmium batteries in exit signs usually last 5 to 7 years before capacity drops below code requirements; the unit has no lamp heads so only the sign illumination draws on the battery.
What limits continuous operation first — the LED driver or the battery charger?
The LED driver is rated for 120/277 V continuous duty; the nickel-cadmium charger runs a trickle charge, so the driver's thermal limit is reached before the charger becomes a constraint.
Does the steel housing get warm or make any noise when the sign runs all day?
The all-steel housing stays close to ambient temperature and the solid-state LED driver has no fan or moving parts, so operation is silent.
