Many
businesses want to use energy efficient entrance sign lighting to
get consumers to notice their business. Using an energy efficient
sign attracts attention and keeps energy bills down. In addition,
efficient sign lighting is also used by homeowners to light up their
street address after dark.
Users of energy efficient entrance sign lighting want to use technology
to do more than save money: they want to reduce their carbon footprint.
At Basil Brook Farms, for example, a business in New Jersey the owner
uses light emitting diode (LED) exit signs for better energy efficiency.
Theoretically, the same LED lights can be used for entrance signs.
Since the bulbs in exit signs can easily be replaced with LED retrofit
kits, ask an electrician if your energy efficient entrance sign lighting
can be retrofitted in the same fashion. If not, simply purchase a
new sign. Also, look into replacing switches with light and occupancy
sensors to save even more energy.
