AC-only exit signs operate exclusively on building electrical power without battery backup, costing 50% less than battery models but requiring connection to emergency generator circuits to maintain illumination during power outages per fire codes.
AC-only exit signs meet code when connected to emergency power systems with automatic transfer switches, though most jurisdictions require battery backup or photoluminescent alternatives for buildings without generators per NFPA 101 Life Safety Code.
AC-only LED exit signs last 10-25 years with minimal maintenance since they lack batteries requiring replacement, though LED arrays may dim after 50,000 hours requiring complete sign replacement for maintained brightness.
Most AC-only signs cannot be retrofitted with batteries due to lacking charging circuits and battery compartments, making replacement with combination AC/battery units more cost-effective than modification attempts.
