Exit Light Batteries

Exit signs that clearly mark the exits of buildings must be on all day, every day. For the safety of occupants and required by law. Unfortunately, the exit signs in older buildings often still use incandescent or fluorescent / compact fluorescent lighting (CFL) technology to illuminate exit signs (though CFLs are more energy efficient than incandescent bulbs). Fortunately, recent advances in LED technology have been greatly energy efficient LED exit signs available to consumers at competitive prices (starting around $ 20).

In short, the benefits of using LED lamps alternative output include:

• energy consumption (low / year): about 44 kWh Use Ultra and cost $ 4 to operations (compared to incandescent bulbs that use about 350 kWh and costs $ 28 to run)
• Low maintenance: Guaranteed to last at least 5 years, and many past 10-25 years
• Security: Brighter and have a greater contrast with the background, allowing people to quickly find out

Before buying LED exit signs for a building, there are four basic characteristics to consider:

• Color: Available in red or green, but first building codes ensure that local regulations may determine your choice
• Battery Backup: In case of power failure, UPS battery backup is available, and office buildings often note UPS battery backup
• Emergency lighting: even in cases of emergencies, integrated or separate units of emergency lights are available as an additional security
• VOLTAGE: Available in 120 volts or 277 volts, and many have variable voltage operating at voltage levels, either

Finally, if you replace existing signs, you must also determine the technology of lighting (incandescent, fluorescent / CFL, photoluminescent or tritium) for the local regulations on disposal methods comply.
