Benefits Of Installing Emergency Exit Signs With Lights

By Rhea Frazier


Emergencies can happen at any time and at any place. One may be inside a flying airplane and there is a turbulence in the air that requires exiting the aircraft. There are also cases where people inside a cinema is watching a movie and a fire or an earthquake occurred which requires them to go outside. Most of these times, the electricity will be cut off and they would have difficulties walking outside as the surroundings are dim.

Inventors have created an invention that will help the people in these cases. They have created emergency exit signs with lights. Nowadays, airplanes and movie theaters are already using this technology. There are certainly a lot of advantages that this thing can offer to those who chose to install it.

These contraptions are used to lead persons inside a building or enclosed space towards safety. Even in areas which are dim or dark, persons will still be able to follow the signs leading the way out since they illuminate. This is also considered as the primary advantage when these items are used. Chances of being trapped inside the edifice can be minimized because of this.

There are some signs that will need to be charged so that they will be able to automatically turn on when electricity goes out. There are also some types that do not require electrical power but use solar power instead. In this case, solar powered devices should be installed in locations where there is access to direct sunlight during the day in order for them to function better at night.

Their glow typically lasts for a long period of time. They could last one hour and thirty minutes the least and approximately three hours the most. Because of this long duration, the occupants will have more than enough time to evacuate the vicinity.

Most of them do not require running electrical wires. It just looks like a piece of rectangular block which is fixed on the upper or lower portion of the wall where everybody can see them. There are multiple lighting fixtures and appliances that need wires to connect to a certain power supply and there could be several visible cables which would not be pleasant to those seeing them.

A lot of exit signs are made with materials that are not flammable. They are also made with materials that do not react to certain gases. This is especially useful when the building is on fire.

These signs could last up to twenty years. This way, they will not have to replace them from time to time which could make them spend more money as well as efforts. This will be helpful to the environment as there will be less things to be disposed of when they are not needed anymore. It will also encourage less use of resources from which the items are made.

Thorough maintenance of these devices are not necessarily needed. However, cleaning them should be a priority. Janitors can use damp towels in wiping off the dirt found on the surfaces. This way, their illumination will be brighter as needed.
