Shining a Light on Life Safety

Because we're talking about light, our technology versus the competitor's technology.

Here's an emergency hallway with minimum requirement lights. The minimum requirement of one foot-candle is very low. You're looking at a hallway that actually meets code. They don't get the full light output of the fixture, they only get whatever the battery pack size is. And then you have the inverter, that brings everything to full.

The part of the code that has me so annoyed, —one foot-candle is not a lot of light.

If you've ever been in a parking lot where it's like, I don't feel safe. That's one foot-candle. That's scary sometimes at low light.

One of the things that's even scarier in the code is, at 90 minutes, those are allowed to go down to .06, so it gets dimmer. You would see, not only is it dark, but by 90 minutes it's practically you can't see anything. Versus our products at full bright, all 90 minutes.

The 90 minutes is not only to get you out of the building, but to help the fire department get in the building, right?

Which one do you want to get out of building in? This one or this one? You do not mess with life safety.
