Types of Exit Signs

Exit signs are found everywhere, including all schools, public buildings, shopping malls, churches, libraries etc. In the present day, an exit sign is available in different models and it is fairly difficult to choose the one that complements your establishment. You can find an exit sign for as low as $35, going up to thousands of dollars, but you may perhaps wonder about the difference between these signs.

Depending on your locations, there could be different rules about the exit signs. The letters are usually printed in red and are about 8 inches high. In some places, they have to be in red and they also have batteries for emergency back-ups. Usually, the city-specific exit signs are more expensive than the regular lights.

Electric exit signs are commonly used by the government organisations, which are highly expensive to maintain. They use more power and hence can consume more electricity. On the other hand, the exit signs with the incandescent bulbs are cheaper than the rest. As compared to the electric signs, the incandescent bulbs would waste more of their energy with the heat output rather than the light output. LED exit signs are also in rage since they use very little energy, typically less than 5 watts and the price could range anywhere from $15 to $150. The price also varies in accordance to the material used for the exit frame and the extra features contained in it. Furthermore, there are self-luminous and photo luminescent signs available as well.
