Buy LEDs uses UPS Ground for all orders. The standard shipping time for UPS Ground orders is 5-10 days in transit.
Every Buy LEDs product is certified, guaranteeing the highest quality product available.
Here at Buy LEDs, we’re proud of the certifications our products have earned, guaranteeing that they are not only the highest quality possible, but will also noticeably make a difference in the world we live in. Ranging from energy saving, to sustainability and safety, here’s a rundown of what the above symbols actually mean, why you should care, and how they impact Buy LEds products. These symbols are more than just an accent mark to add to our products – they are proof of our continued commitment to innovation, excellence, and making the world a better and more sustainable place.
UL Mark (UL Listed & cUL Listed)
The Underwriters Laboratories’ UL symbol means the product, after a series of testing, meets UL’s nationally recognized Standards of Safety. UL is a non-profit organization dedicated to public safety and Bulb Daddy is proud almost all of our products meet their stringent testing and safety standards.
ETL Listed
Intertek’s ETL Listed symbol is proof the product has been independently tested and meets the applicable published standard. The ETL mark shows the product’s compliance to North American safety standards. Intertek is one of the world's largest Testing, Inspection and Certification companies and Bulb Daddy proudly displays the ETL mark on our products that meet their demanding testing standards.
FCC Declaration of Conformity
The FCC mark is a certification mark used on electronic products manufactured or sold in the United States which certifies that the electromagnetic interference from the device is under the limits approved by the Federal Communications Commission. All Bulb Daddy products carry the FCC mark.
Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Compliant
RoHS Compliant means the product is lead-free and restricts the use of six hazardous materials often found in electrical products (Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Hexavalent Chromium, Polybrominated Biphenyls, and Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers). We’re excited to feature many products that are RoHS Compliant, helping build a more sustainable future.
ENERGY STAR
If you see the ENERGY STAR mark on the packaging of any product, you can have peace of mind that what you’re purchasing has been proven to save energy and help the environment. Energy Star is a trusted government-backed symbol and was created to reduce greenhouse emissions and other pollutants caused by the inefficient use of energy, all while ensuring product quality and energy savings at no compromise on quality.
Design Lights Consortium (DLC) Listed
The Design Lights Consortium promotes quality, performance and energy-efficient commercial sector lighting solutions through collaboration among its federal, regional, state, utility, and energy efficiency program members, luminaire manufacturers, lighting designers, and other industry stakeholders throughout the US and Canada. The DLC listing grants consumers access to rebates through their local energy supplier. Almost all Bulb Daddy products are DLC listed and approved.
LED Lighting Facts Program Partner
The LED Lighting Facts label further cements Bulb Daddy’s commitment to supporting improvement in the quality of LED products. The label was created to promote the accurate and consistent reporting of LED product performance claims and requires important information to be presented in an easy-to-read format, much like Nutrition Labels on food products. All ENERGY STAR marked products also carry the LED Lighting Facts label, clearly outlining the product’s specifications.

Exit & Emergency Sign Lighting
What Makes LED Technology The Best Fit For Exit & Emergency Sign Lighting?
LED lighting is quickly replacing other lighting technologies in many applications, and this is also true of emergency lighting. LEDs possess several advantages that make them an ideal fit for an emergency role. Some of them include:
- Long-term performance and reliability – LEDs are, by far, the longest lasting lights on the market. Where an incandescent lamp will last a little over 1,000 hours and fluorescent tubes between 20,000 and 30,000 hours, an LED diode can provide between 50,000 and 100,000 hours of light. LEDs can do this while requiring close to zero maintenance, as long as the lights are tested annually. The expectation is that your emergency LED lighting will last for many years before any replacements are needed.
- Durability – LED lighting is built on solid state circuitry, which is much more durable than fragile filament or gas chamber engineering. In the event of a significant natural disaster, your emergency lighting’s durability may be tested. LEDs are more likely to survive that test than other forms of lighting.
- Energy efficiency – LED lighting is also the most energy efficiency lighting available. Measured in terms of lumens-to-watt, LEDs are up to 10 times more energy efficient than incandescent, providing more than 100 lumens with every watt of power. No other lighting technology can match that, including fluorescent, metal halide or HID.LED’s efficiency and lifespan advantages are something to keep in mind when considering cost effectiveness. While LEDs usually cost a bit more upfront, their extended lifespan and low operating cost means they can be the long-run cost effective option.
- Intensity – Early generations of LED lighting couldn’t compete with established lighting technologies in terms of brightness, but that has changed. Some LED lights are among the brightest lamps available, and LEDs produce brilliant white illumination as a baseline, which is ideal for better visibility. Modern LED lighting is also effective at rendering color, so they do not alter color perception of nearby surfaces.
Exit & emergency sign lighting is an important safety measure that no building can do without. Given their importance, emergency lighting is tightly regulated for appearance and reliability, but there are established designs that builders and employers can opt for. No matter the choice, though, LEDs represent the most efficient, effective, and durable lighting option. There’s a lot of LED fixtures to choose from, though, so working with an established lighting expert like Bulb Daddy is recommended. This will ensure you get maximum performance and reliability out of your emergency lighting system.
