Improved Visibility For The Color-Blind! |
Specially chosen 630 nm Red LEDs combined w/ our special
Research suggests Green on Black may be the most visible to color-deficient observers. After learning of recent color-blind research, we decided to go with the 630nm LED in our new Solid Letter design. To "normal" sighted people it appears a little more orange than the usual red EXIT, a difference only noticeable when one of each type exit is placed side by side. However, that's enough for most exit manufacturers to dash toward the perceived largest seller; the standard red. We have chosen, instead, to err on the side of color-deficient observers until we learn just how important the difference is. We encourage you to do the same. Specify 630nm Red on White or Green on Black LED Exit Signs. |
*About 8% of men and 0.18% of women are color defective in some sense (i.e. 1 in 12 men and 1 in 550 women), but the numbers who are likely to be helped by our new design (protanopes and anomalous protanopes) are closer to 2% of males and 0.04% of females (i.e. 1 in 50 men and 1 in 2500 women). |
