Exit Sign Light Bulbs

Exit sign light bulbs refer to the light bulbs inside conventional incandescent illuminated exit signs. These small bulbs, which are installed in pairs, can consume up to 20 watts of electricity each. Running 24/7 365 days a year this becomes a costly operating expense which multiplies for each sign located on your property or inside your building. LED Retrofit Kits

Adding to that cost is the fact that conventional incandescent bulbs only last 2,000 hours. That might sound like a long time but there are 8,760 hours in an entire year, which means that each pair of incandescent bulbs will need changing an average of three to four times annually. Combine the replacement, energy, and labor costs and your average incandescent exit sign can cost an average of $50 a year in operating and maintenance costs.

Compact fluorescent bulbs, which use about half the wattage and last three times as long, are a better option that incandescent bulbs but still require maintenance and must be disposed of correctly because of the mercury vapor contained within them. In California, commercial properties that are found to be disposing of compact fluorescent bulbs improperly can face a fine of $25,000 for as little as one bulb.
