Smarterlite's Hyperion Environmental Exit Sign, Australia's most energy efficient battery-free hybrid Exit Sign, uses a total of only 0.74W of power. It has been assessed by Victoria's Essential Services Commission and included in the Victorian Energy Upgrade program and NSW Energy Saving Scheme, and can be found in their online registers of Approved Products as the Safety Path Hyperion Exit Sign. (Smarterlite's Hyperion Environmental Exit Sign only uses a tiny 0.4W integrated LED to charge the photoluminescent materials, enabling the sign to be used in rooms in buildings with motion sensors and where room lights may be switched off. Total power consumption amounts to 0.74W when the Power Supply Unit is included. In comparison, electric-battery Exit Signs typically use 5W to 10W.)

Evidence Evidence

Smarterlite's Hyperion Environmental Exit Signs are battery-free, removing the primary cause of failure in Exit Signs. When Exit Sign batteries fail, the whole sign is disposed of, generating battery, circuit board and plastic waste. Less than 10% of electric-battery exit signs are recycled. By eliminating batteries from Exit Signs, and using long-life components with very low power consumption, Smarterlite Hyperion Exit Signs have a 16+ year life when the industry norm is less than 5 years, with large buildings experiencing 20-25% failure rates per annum. The Smarterlite Hyperion Environmental Exit Sign is certified Made in Australia.
