Can't answer solidly yes or no right now. I believe they are acceptable.

Well it could be that mind set of Green - Go !

I read an article and someone mentioned traveling alot and paying attention to your exit routes.

I beleive it's be more of a building code issue, or even an Engineers preference... Frankly I think its the diode designers thinking there seeing red and will have none of it!

is that right or wrong?

Red vs green exit signs seems to be a jurisdictional thing around here. Changes from county to county, and I can't keep them straight. :roll:

In researching for this post, I haven't been able to find in the Ohio Administrative Codes any information regarding the use and/or requirements regarding green exit lights. Most of the requirements are in reference to energy codes. I believe THIS would have the authority to do so.

Not sure what part of Ohio you are from. Your local building department may have the answer.
