"According
to recent statistics from the U.S. Department of Energy, there
are over 100 million electric exit signs operating across the country
24 hours a day, seven days a week. The companies, schools, government
facilities, hotels and other public buildings that use these electric
signs pay a combined cost of over $1 BILLION a year in energy and
maintenance costs." When it comes to saving on energy costs, photoluininescent exit
signs are clearly the solution.
By
switching to photoluminescent exit signs, it is estimated that
U.S. companies could save thousands of
kilowatts of electricity each year. That translates
to an annual energy cost-savings of hundreds ofmillions
of dollars. And, along with this tremendous cost savings come
the life-saving benefits of photoluminescent exit signs: a
substantial increase in reliability and a greatly decreased
risk of panic or injury during blackout conditions.
