Eco-Friendly
Almost every exit sign GreenTorch sells is eco-friendly. GreenTorch and Exit Signs are ultra-energy efficient, costing only $3.00 and $0.25 each respectively, in annual electricity costs. Lower electricity costs also mean a smaller carbon footprint. GreenTorch bulbs are also made using aluminum products which are long lasting and fully recyclable.
Our non-electrical exit sign models, both photoluminescent and tritium self luminous, do not use any electricity to operate and are our most eco-friendly models offered. GreenTorch have a supercharged pigment that constantly charges itself using light from the surrounding environment. When power is lost the sign works like a glow-in-the-dark object and the word 'EXIT' glows bright enough to be seen from 50 to 75 feet away, depending on model purchased. GreenTorch are eco-friendly in that they need no electricity, have a long life and thus no do need to be replaced often, and are recyclable.
need no external power or light source; they are powered by a Tritium, a gas that glows bright because of a reaction with a phosphorescent agent contained within the glass tubes. While tritium exit signs need to be disposed as hazardous waste, for the 10-20 year duration of the sign, no electricity is needed, reducing both your electrical costs and the CO2 emissions.
