10 Great Reasons to Save Money and Energy Using Photoluminescent Exit Signs

There are many reasons why you need to make the switch in your building's exit sign technology to the new, photoluminescent exit signs and emergency egress products. Here we're going to look at a few of the many great reasons to do so.

This type of technology is very young, but they are some of the best products to hit the scene in a number of years. They address a number of environmental and budgetary concerns that are vitally important in today's world. So without further ado, here are the top ten reasons why you need to make the switch to photoluminescent materials:

1. Photoluminescent materials use no electricity to run, nor any other power sources such as batteries of generator backups. This translates to a direct savings of energy costs, as well as future savings by not having to purchase replacement parts.
2. These exit signs and emergency egress products reduce your overhead as there are virtually no maintenance issues involved with them. There's no need to have your maintenance staff do anything with these products, except for the routine cleaning normally associated with your building.
3. Photoluminescent exit signs are 100% reliable. Since they use stored ambient light that is readily available when your building is in use and need no other power sources, they are going to be there when you need them. This is a major advantage over past solutions that would often fail precisely when you need them to work!
4. These exit signs are 100% recyclable, meaning that when the time comes to change them out or tear down a building, they can be simply disposed of by tossing them into the nearest metal recycling container and going about your business. That's all there is to it!
5. Photoluminescent exit signs contain no radioactive elements as does one of their predecessors, the tritium exit sign. The amount of paperwork and special handling alone is enough to warn most people off tritium exit signs, never mind the radioactivity!
6. These emergency signs are versatile and configurable. They come in many varieties that help you choose the best combinations for your particular needs.
7. Photoluminescent exit signs and emergency egress products are incredibly long-lasting. They have an expected life of some 25 years from purchase. This ensures you a lifetime of savings not only in direct energy costs, but also any replacement issues, or anything else associated with them.
8. These exit signs and markings are very easy to install or apply. The exit signs have a simple mounting bracket, so if the need to move them were to arise, it would be a simple matter of remounting them in the new location.
9. Then there's the cost savings, which can be considerable. A typical building with 100 photoluminescent exit signs installed will save more than $3,500 in direct energy costs annually over incandescent lighting. This in addition to savings on maintenance costs.
10. Photoluminescent exit signs and emergency egress products are a much greener solution than was available before. Use of these exit signs in that same building would save more than half a million pounds of CO2 over the life of the products.

All of these are fantastic reasons to make the switch to photoluminescent materials in your building's exit signs. Start reaping the benefits today!
