By design, exit signs operate 24 hours per day, resulting in them consuming large amounts of energy to operate, increasing electricity costs. Many exit signs in today’s buildings use older, incandescent and fluorescent/compact fluorescent lighting (CFL) technology, that require frequent maintenance due to the short life span of the lamps that light them.
The high-energy usage and maintenance of many exit signs is unnecessary due to advances in lighting technology. LED Exit signs are easy to install, use less electricity, and require less maintenance.
