As a business owner, you must be constantly vigilant that you’re not overspending on things and that your safety systems are up-to-date. One aspect of your business that falls into both categories is your exit lighting. This vital safety lighting must be working and up-to-code for the people who work in or visit your business to be safe. But these lights also allow you to save money if you opt for LED lights. Read on to learn more. 

Requirements for Exit LED Lighting

Exit lighting is not only essential, but it is also vital for your safety. Let’s back up for a moment. Exit lighting is the signage above doors that says “Exit.” These lights are constantly illuminated, even during power failures, fires, or other emergencies. These signs are designed to signify that a doorway is a route to the outside of the building. These signs are clear, easy to understand, and precisely what is needed in low-light, low-visibility situations or when someone panics. The legal mandates that control this type of signage include: 

• Exit signs must be legible.
• Exit signs must be lit
• Exit signs must be at the halfway point between two fire exits
• If the exit is not visible, a secondary exit sign must be in place

At TriStar Electric, we understand how vital emergency exit signage is and know the regulations and codes to ensure that yours is installed safely.

Why You Need LED Exit Lighting

Today, LED lighting is leading the way as the most popular choice for commercial and residential lighting applications. LED lighting is energy efficient, making it a practical financial choice. It is also a “green” choice because LED lighting wastes less energy than other types of lighting, and it doesn’t give off tremendous excess heat. By saving energy, you will also save money on your electric bills. These benefits are even better when you consider all of the stylistic options available for LED lighting – you won’t have to make any aesthetic compromises to reap the benefits of switching to LEDs (though there is not much aesthetic choice in emergency exit lighting, generally).
