LED exit signs will save money and be more reliable.

For many decades, it was impossible to get long, reliable life out of exit products. There were some improvements over the years which include compact fluorescent and other types of longer life products that would work better in an exit situation. But until the advancement of LED technology and incorporating that into LED exit signs, there really wasn't anything on the market they could do the job. Now you can get long reliable life from your exit signage in your buildings without all the hassles of having to replace light bulbs for anywhere from 10 to 20 years. Of course, this is not a new breakthrough, but it's becoming the most common, pervasive kind of sign out in the marketplace. All new commercial buildings rely on this type of technology to keep their exits clearly marked and safer as a result.

With all the different types of light fixtures that we sell, many people often ask if there are ways that they can change bulbs less often. And for many decades there have been longer life light bulbs that have been used in many applications including exits. It began with commercial buildings that didn't want to change light bulbs as often and realized they needed a better solution so their people weren't constantly going up and down ladders to change a light bulb. That's a very expensive way to do things, no matter how easy it is to access the light fixture. It's usually better when someone is spending their time in a building to service customers and not be changing light bulbs. But now with LED exit signs, it totally eliminates the need for this kind of maintenance on your exits. Literally, these LED exits will stay illuminated for 10 to 20 years without any change of a light bulb. The LED bulbs themselves can't be changed, the whole unit would then need to be replaced. But think about all the savings that you would get by not having to change bulbs and have your people go up and down ladders. If you have an older building which still has fluorescent or incandescent sources of light in the exits, then it's time to change to one of our new LED exits.

Beyond the maintenance considerations, think about the safety factors that would also be improved. Think about how an exit sign is going to stay lit constantly without any special need of maintenance. This means when there is an emergency of some kind, people are going to be able to find their way out and you're going to know that the egress will be clearly marked. In other words, there won't be a light bulb out that causes the exit sign to be unlit. Apart from the legal aspects of that, doesn't it just make you feel better to know that you're going to help people get out of an emergency situation calmly and safely. If you have a building with commercial tenants, isn't that something you would like to do for them, while helping yourself out as well?

We have many variations of LED exit signs including red or green colors and several different faceplate configurations which will match your décor. Sometimes people need a white housing or a black housing, we have those. In addition to that, you can also get the exits with the emergency heads on them to clearly marked and egress area or stairwell entrance. Most of these also come with the option of an emergency backup, so when you lose power you will be able to maintain the lighted sign.

Like we said before, most new buildings have these LED exits specified as part of an engineering or architectural specification. But many older buildings do not have these in their situations. You will save money in maintenance, energy and will provide a safer way for people to exit that is more consistent over what you might be using right now.
