Every commercial space has certain things that are completely necessary for safety. One of the most visible and yet very often overlooked is exit signage. The exit signage in a building is the always-illuminated sign that signifies that a door leads to the exterior of the building. This signage indicates the direction for evacuating the building safely in an emergency. 

TriStar Electric can help you install emergency exit signage in your commercial building. If you already have all the necessary signage in place, we can assist you in upgrading it to LED. TriStar Electric is a highly professional and established commercial and residential electrical service company providing electrical services for all types of lighting in commercial buildings. Whether you need overhead lighting, security lighting, parking lot lighting, or emergency exit lighting services, you can count on us.

 Contact TriStar Electric today if your Howard County warehouse or office is ready for an exit LED lighting upgrade.

Exit Lighting Requirements For Howard County Businesses

Exit lights serve a valuable function, and as a safety resource, they are subject to specific regulations. Exit lights should adhere to these requirements:

• 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

Exit lighting is essential, so it is crucial that the lights and bulbs comply with code. In an emergency, people need to be able to quickly assess if a doorway is an exit or a non-exit portal to get out safely. Exit lights save lives in the workplace and are therefore required by law to be in place in all commercial buildings. Since you must have them, you should ensure you get the best ones.

LED Bulbs Offer Benefits For Howard County Businesses

LEDs are currently the standard for new construction for several reasons. 

• Energy efficiency: LED lights use significantly less energy than other types of light, including halogen, incandescent, HID, and fluorescents. LEDs use fewer watts and have less wasted energy.
• Longevity: LED lights can last several years, depending on environmental conditions.
• Low Cost: LED lights are more cost-effective in the long run, as they consume significantly less electricity, and their upfront cost decreases as they become more widely used. 
• Adequate Lighting: LED lights provide bright, attractive light. They can even take on the look of incandescent light for indoor settings.

The same benefits that LED bulbs provide to new construction can also be applied to older buildings. In most cases, lights and systems can be upgraded to use LED bulbs. However, this requires a professional electrician since it differs from swapping the bulb. If the old system overpowers the LED bulb, it could cause it to overheat and not last.
