Requirements for Lighted Exit Signs in Your Business
- by Bill Petherbridge - updated on 10/12/2023
Interior signage within a store, such as lighted exit signs, plays an important role in keeping clients and staff safe during an emergency. Exit and entrance signage goes beyond alerting visitors where to simply enter and exit your building, and knowing where to exit a building in the event of an emergency evacuation can make the utmost difference when it comes to safety. In many cases, there are legal guidelines that businesses must meet relative to how they notify customers of where to exit the property should such a situation ever arise.
If your business uses lighted exit signs, it's important to know they require a battery source to function properly. The battery helps maintain a safe environment for customers, employees, and anyone visiting your business in the event a quick exit to a safer area is required. Without a functioning battery for your emergency lighting, the display may not function as needed.
At Batteries Plus, we offer commercial lighting solutions that can keep your business properly lit to keep your customers safe and aware of possible exits. With our deep catalog of products from a variety of top-name brands, you can feel confident that your lighted display signs will meet the required expectations – whether from industry regulators checking your building's compliance or customers searching your store's inventory.
Lighting Is Vital to Your Signs' Capability
As we established, emergency lighting solutions play a critical role for any business in meeting the safety standards required by customers, governing bodies, and other relevant stakeholders. Interior LED lighting can enhance your signs in a variety of ways, by helping:
Increased Safety
LED lighting provides better visibility in outdoor spaces than most other exterior lighting options. With proper outdoor lighting, your business can better protect the safety of your employees and customers, whether your business has a parking lot or other outdoor area. Additionally, LED lights typically cost significantly less to maintain and operate, which could provide valuable savings to your business
Energy Efficiency
Inefficient light bulbs can prove to be a pain in more ways than one. Utilizing an LED retrofit from Batteries Plus can give your business more options for how you light the interior of your facility. A retrofit converts the lighting in a building to accept more energy-efficient bulbs. In turn, this means you will have to replace them less frequently, saving you money in the long run. LED bulbs are the longest-lasting in the industry, with a lifespan of up to 10 years. The Batteries Plus team can offer a number of LED lighting options and help you determine which one is the most energy-efficient for your business.
Visibility
No matter how big or small your location is you and everyone else in it need to be able to see what is going on. Whether your business uses a traditional storefront, office, warehouse, school building, shared space, or has an outdoor element, lighting plays a crucial role. LED lights don't just come to the rescue during emergency situations - their strong performance also often creates a better overall experience for the customer who visits your business. The right lighting can help you and your employees perform their responsibilities in a safe and efficient manner as well.
