Energy Saving Exit Signs

Price is important when purchasing an exit sign, but the cost to maintain and operate the exit sign should also carefully be considered. There are many energy saving exit signs on the market today, so there is no excuse why you should be paying $30 to $40 a year to operate an exit sign. An example of an older exit sign would be the incandescent exit sign. This exit sign is not energy efficient and uses up to 40 watts of electricity per year. If you currently own this type of exit sign it would be wise of you to upgrade to an energy saving exit sign such as the LED exit sign. This sign uses circuit board technology and consists of small LED's or light emitting diodes to light the exit sign. It consumes only 1 to 8 watts of electricity per year, has a life span of 25 plus years and only costs around $3.50 a year to operate and maintain.
