Energy Efficient LED Exit Signs with Emergency Lighting

Oct 7th 2016

In the case of a fire, power-outage, or emergency, individuals near or inside of a threatened building must be able to find their way to a place of complete safety. And during an emergency situation—when lighting is usually limited or possibly non-existent—exit signs and emergency lighting can be life saving.

Architects and building owners are becoming increasingly cognizant of the many value-added functions and safety-assuring technologies associated with the numerous exit signs and emergency lighting options available to consumers. And beyond making sure exit signs and emergency lighting conform to regulations and standards set forth by various organizations, many architects and building owners choose to purchase energy-efficient lighting solutions, such as LED, which last longer and require less maintenance than other illumination options.

Proper Installation and Placement of Exit Signs and Emergency Lighting

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) are responsible for providing various regulations, standards, and guidelines for exit sign and emergency lighting installation and placement. Exit signs, for example, should be installed at points where direction changes and at every exit door. Emergency lights should be installed near stairways, at changes of level, and near fire-fighting equipment.

The OSHA and NFPA also enforce rules regarding level of illumination required, length of time emergency lighting should work when power is cut, and how often each fixture should be tested for proper operation.

Combination Emergency Exit Signs From Superior Lighting

Superior Lighting supplies combination emergency exit signs, which are available in a variety of colors, styles, and constructions. Our Plastic LED Combo Emergency Exit Light, for example, can be purchased with a black or white housing and can feature green or red lettering.

Combination emergency exit signs are a great solution for buildings and rooms that do not have an excess of windows or natural light. In the event of a severe storm or fire, when natural light cannot penetrate any windows and electricity is out, combination emergency exit signs provide people with direction to a safe location and an abundance of light so they can see where they’re going.

Why LED Lighting is Better than Standard Lighting Solutions

LED exit signs operate at a fraction of the power of standard incandescent exit signs. They project the same bright light as incandescent exit signs, convert 90% of the electricity they consume into light rather than heat, and can last up to 25 years. LED emergency exit signs save customers money by reducing the price of electricity bills and purchasers do not have to worry about replacing LED bulbs for years to come.
