Exterior Emergency Lighting
Exterior Emergency Lighting
(OP)
I am currently specifying an exterior wall mounted light fixture along an emergency exit path of a commercial bldg.
Which type of lighting is best for this application:
1) High Pressure Sodium
2) Metal Halide
3) Compact Fluorescent
3) Incadescent
I am not well versed in the pro's and con's of each light yet.
Thanks.

If the areas are large, 1 or 2 are probably best but will require an lighting inverter. 3 and the 3b may be appropriate for smaller areas, will probably be simpler and less costly.

"Throughout space there is energy. Is this energy static or kinetic! If static our hopes are in vain; if kinetic — and this we know it is, for certain — then it is a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of nature". – Nikola Tesla
