No matter which Clarion EXIT sign you choose, it will deliver fail-safe performance
and significant cost savings compared to electrical and tritium signs. The savings
begin immediately with new construction; with no need to pay for wiring, conduit
and an electrician. Then your savings continue year after year our signs draw no
energy and require virtually no maintenance. And there is no threat of released
radioactivity.
Superior Safety - Clarion EXIT signs: Fail-safe
Photoluminescent technology - "glow-in-the-dark" in simple terms - was
first utilized two decades ago in marine applications, after prominent ship and oil
rig disasters demonstrated the hazards of relying on powered systems for egress
lighting. Later, the FAA approved the use of photoluminescent material in airplane
cabins for aisle pathway marking. More recently, leading cities and states around
the country, including New York City and California, have adopted photoluminescent
egress systems as a matter of law. Today, non-toxic and non-radioactive photoluminescent
technology has progressed to the point that Underwriters Laboratories now certifies
the use of especially high grades of this material for use in the UL 924 EXIT signs
mandated by building codes throughout the United States and Canada.
Superior Aesthetics
The design of practically all UL 924 EXIT signs over the past decades has been ordinary,
even though today's buildings are more sophisticated than ever. Clarion's family
of EXIT signs, however, is different. Our signs provide the functionality and safety
required by building codes at the same time that they support an architect's work.
From our top-of-the-line 900, 850 & 800 Series signs that offer simple elegance,
to the workhorse 600, 700 and 400 Series that are ideal for warehouses or retail
stores, Clarion provides an attractive, code-compliant EXIT sign at every price
point.
Return on Investment
Clarion's fail-safe photoluminescent technology is also the sustainable choice.
Carrying a 35-year guarantee and using no electricity, our signs recharge every
day from ambient lighting. If a power out situation occurs, our signs will, instantly
glow, giving building occupants a beacon to find their way out. Requiring no wiring,
conduit, lamps, circuit boards, or hard-to-recycle batteries, Clarion's EXIT signs
provide an incredible return on investment. What's more, our signs can help your
projects earn LEED building credits. The Facts: Those in the field understand exactly
how sustainable our signs are, with up to $6,930.58 in life-cycle savings per sign.
In fact, even when compared to an LED electrical EXIT sign, a Clarion's photoluminescent
EXIT sign will eliminate 1.535 pounds of CO2 emissions per kilowatt hour, or 2,353.2
pounds of CO2 emissions over its 35 year life-span based on the LED sign's consumption
of 43.8 kWh annually.
