ABB Emergi-Lite: EHV Series – Aluminum High-Visibility Edge-Lit Pictogram Sign
June 18, 2025
Introducing the EHV Series: Clarity When It Counts
ABB Emergi-Lite’s new EHV Series high-visibility edge-lit pictogram sign is crafted for high-ceiling spaces such as distribution centres, shopping malls, sports facilities, and transportation hubs. This sleek series offers enhanced visibility during emergencies while also blending seamlessly into everyday built environments.
The EHV Series isn’t just a pictogram sign—it’s a carefully engineered safety solution for egress paths, designed to outperform standard LED 6″ high pictogram signs. Compared to backlit window-type exit signage, the EHV Series’ edge-lit design offers a more sophisticated look with one thick solid panel that will not kink, fog or frost up, blending functionality with aesthetics.
Visibility Meets Versatility
- Customizable Panels: Meet regulatory or site-specific needs with special wording options.
- Stands Out, Subtly: The sleek and refined edge-lit design delivers on visibility without disrupting decor.
- Proudly Made in Canada: Engineered with care, quality, and precision right here in Canada.
- Convenient Self-Testing: Eliminate manual testing in hard-to-reach installations with optional auto-diagnostics and remote testing.
