Exitronix

Barron Lighting Group has a 45 year old history of manufacturing high quality lighting products. Our deep rooted core value of service and providing satisfaction for customers, vendors and employees has led to significant organic growth and a suite of products that can fulfill virtually any commercial lighting requirement.

In 1973 our company was established as a contract manufacturer, serving Illinois and Wisconsin, with the purchase of Barron Manufacturing from Basic Electronics. Eleven years later, to resolve a customer’s challenge and frustration with constantly replacing exit sign light bulbs in hard to reach areas, Barron designed, engineered and manufactured the first LED exit sign; and in 1984 the company launched the EXITRONIX brand.

New York Approved

New York City requires that any exit signs and emergency lights:
  • Meets New York City Electrical Code (meets UL certification)
  • NFPA & OSHA require initial illumination of 1 foot-candle and a minimum at any point of 0.1 foot-candle. New York City emergency lighting requires TWICE that (an average of 2 foot-candle or 22 lux and a minimum at any point of 0.2 foot-candle or 2.15 lux measured along the path of egress at floor level). This is why The Exit Light Company recommend emergency lights with nine (9) watts on each head. Since even with the requirement for brighter lighting, the minimum standard of 90 minutes of run-time on battery backup power is in effect, NYC Code approved emergency lights are heavy-duty units with larger batteries.
  • The letters of exit signs and exit sign/emergency light combos are mandated to be red.
  • The height of letters shall be not less than 6 inches (152 mm), except that in Group A (theaters and concert halls) and Group R-1 (Shelters, Fraternity & Sorority Houses) occupancies letters shall be not less than 8 inches (203 mm) high. A change from previous years, now U.S. standard 6" exit signs are acceptable in most locations, but certain locales still require 8" exit signs.
  • All signs shall be of metal or other durable materials.
  • All high-rise buildings require photoluminescent exit path markings for egress routes.
