I saw this photo on the Fire Inspectors With No Borders Facebook page, and I asked Dennis Wolf if I could share it here. This exit serves an aircraft hangar in a military museum, and Dennis noted in his post that it was properly marked – there is an exit sign above the door. What do you think about the additional exit path marking projected onto the floor?
And yes, there are a few issues with the door opening itself. 😐

I like the added marking.
Thinking trying to make it like a runway, or aircraft flight deck??
Does the sign, to the right of the doors, say anything about the door operation??
Sorry, I am stuck at LTR (Less Top Rod). Is the bottom latch a pullman latch?
A new type of device, Less TOP Rod!
Wow! Where to begin?
I must admit, I’ve never seen a projected exit indication and my question is, does it have battery back-up in the event of power interruption?
There are other items to address, but I’ll leave that for the younger sleuths.
Colorful but seems impractical to me. If hanger is big, veiwing angle might make it inferior to a standard light mounted on the wall. Looks expensive to do this projected light intensity but maybe not. Sure would get you attention if not obscured by smoke.
I LOVE IT!!!! This should be MANDATORY in all occupancies especially Mercantile and Assembly spaces!!!!!
Very unique door set up , bottom rod only ? I have see top rod but seldom if not never just a bottom rod.
As far as signage goes the floor illumination looks cool in fact very 24th century
Aren’t exit signs to be visible every 100 ft. i know if in an emergency to get out of a building I’m looking up for an exit light or door. Just my opinion.
If the ceiling was flat, maybe projection above would be more useful.
It appears that a Gobo projector located at the top of each door leaf has spawned this “LTR” door latching configuration.
I have so many issues with the whole setup, so I will ask one question. Is all the “extra” signage on the door acceptable to AHJs? I am thinking that it is, as long as the required signage is there, and it is all fastened in a code compliant manner. If I were an AHJ, I would want only what is required by code to be posted on the door. I like that there is lower signage, as if there is smoke in the building, I may or may not be able to see the exit signs above the door. However, I expect I would not see the “EXIT” projection on the floor through the smoke, either.
Hi Joe –
There are definitely some AHJs who take issue with extra signage – especially signage discouraging the use of the door. But the codes don’t really prohibit “extra” signage.
