If you have a brick & mortar store or office then this week’s store spotlight features products every public building, including yours, requires by law. The Exit Light Company was formed in the year 2000 in San Diego, CA by Jeannette Carrico and her partners when they wanted to create an emergency lighting and egress sign company that specialized in energy efficient and environmentally-friendly products. Since their inception nine years ago, The Exit Light Company has done exactly this. In two separate case studies, the company proved, empirically, that their products use 80% less wattage without losing performance.
The Exit Light Company is a unique online retailer that sells exit signs and emergency lights over the web on an international level. For over nine years, 95% of the orders placed are shipped on the same day, whether it was to New Finland or upstate to the Bay area. The federal government, which has strict guidelines for equipment used in its buildings, offered The Exit Light Company a GSA contract. The company’s adherence to these guidelines ensures safe and efficient products that are highly reliable. Emergency lights and exit signs are necessary for any businesses and helpful for residential households. Their products don’t sacrifice aesthetics or functionality. All the equipment carried by The Exit Light Company is structurally appealing. Couple that with environmentally sound efficiency of the signs and lights, and it’s difficult to find a better buy.
The products carried by the company are varied for a multitude of uses and architectural designs. Edge-lit exit signs come in a red or green font on a clear acrylic paneling. These signs hang from the ceiling making them highly visible and pleasing to the eye. Edge-lit signs are becoming one of the most sought after forms of egress signage. Ultra slim aluminum signs are the sleek cousins to the edge signs. They are hung from the ceiling or are side mounted to walls. The green or red lettering is lit by LED lights for an extra efficient source of evacuation notification. A popular choice among safety enthusiasts is the combination exit sign/emergency light. Designed like a typical exit sign, but mounted with two or three lamp heads, these combination signs activate when a building’s power is lost, making it possible for people to safely exit a building. If saving money is your ultimate goal, power free photoluminescent signs are the best product available. These lights are visible up to one-hundred feet and require no power source to operate, guaranteeing a smaller electrical bill.
Emergency lights are the other facet of The Exit Light Company business model. These lights are used for power outages in both businesses and homes. One of the more unique products is the table lamp with a built in emergency light. If the power goes out from a storm or earthquake, the lamp kicks on a small bulb that provides hours of light. This is a must have product for every household. Whether it’s a skyscraper of small apartment complex 6 or 12 volt, 50 watt industrial lights are an affordable and dependable product. Designed to be mounted to a wall or over a doorway, these lights activate the moment power is lost and last for one and half hours. Motorist can travel at ease when carrying an emergency electrical flare. These small, disc shaped lights come in either red or yellow and have a visibility rate of three miles. Electrical flares are ideal for a breakdown or changing a flat tire. The Exit Light Company also carries a wide array of accessories, batteries and replacement products to keep your emergency lights and exit signs up to code.
