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.
Battery Backup
Products with battery backup contain a battery so in the case of a power outage the lights or signs with stay illuminated for roughly 90 minutes.Architectural

NiMH batteries can have two to three times the capacity of an equivalent size NiCd, and their energy density approaches that of a lithium-ion cell. Nickel–Metal Hydride batteries are good for high current drain applications because of their low internal resistance.
The disadvantage of NiMH batteries is their high rate of self-discharge. NiMH batteries typically lose 4% of their charge per day of storage. LSD NiMH batteries significantly lower self-discharge, but at the cost of lowering capacity by about 20%.
