What Is Ada Compliant Lighting

ADA approved lights have a thin profile that allows them to fit in hallways, aisles, passageways, bathrooms, and other cramped spaces without intruding into areas where people walk or pass through with other means. Light fixtures must be 80 inches above the ground in order to be ADA compliant.

What is considered ADA compliant?

ADA compliance is short for the Americans with Disabilities Act Standards for Accessible Design. What that means is that all electronic information and technology—i.e, your website—must be accessible to those with disabilities.

Why is ADA compliant?

Having ADA-compliant content, not only promotes equality and accessibility but also saves a ton of legal cases from being filed against the brand or company. Every year thousands of cases are filed by people with disabilities against companies that do not accommodate the ADA guidelines.
