The numbers on exit signs followed by ‘m’ indicate their maximum viewing distance. The meaning of 24m on an exit sign is that it is designed for visibility up to 24 metres.
For instance, 24M or 24m signifies that the sign is visible for up to 24 metres, while larger signs might have higher numbers like 40M, or 40 metres. 40m signs are usually found in large open buildings like warehouses, large format retail stores and industrial, mining and agriculture related buildings.
Smarterlite offers both photoluminescent and hybrid Environmental Exit Signs in standard 24m and 32m size, as well as made-to-order for larger sizes. Smarterlite Environmental Exit Signs, including hybrid exit signs with integrated light sources, comply with the National Construction Code of Australia and applicable Australian Standards.
Exit signs of 40m size and larger are known as ‘Jumbo’ signs.
