Safety |
Failsafe no power needed Stores energy for a minimum of twelve hours |
Not effective if batteries and bulbs not working, or if emergency generator fails. |
Powered by radioactive tritium decay. Banned by US Military and many schools, companies. |
Cost Considerations |
Low installation and operating costs = most cost effective technology available. No electrical wiring. No direct energy use.
|
Most expensive exit sign type to install and operate. Requires electrical wiring and direct energy use. |
Expensive purchase and disposal costs.
No electrical wiring. No direct energy use. |
Sustainability Issues |
Non-toxic materials. Non-radioactive Recyclable. Non-electrical. |
Circuit boards and batteries are hazardous wastes. Greenhouse gases released from producing electricity used to power signs.
|
Significant radioactivity issues with fabrication and operation. Not-recyclable. |
Overview |
Energy Star listed. “Best Available Technology” [US Dept of Energy FEMP] Safer, less expensive and sustainable. Architecturally Attractive |
Energy Star listed. Big improvement over older electric signs but adverse safety, cost and disposal issues. Architecturally Attractive. |
Easy to install but expensive to buy and dispose of. Radioactivity marginalizes use in “sustainable” projects. Industrial look. |
