Advantages to Photoluminescent Exit Signs

One of the main reasons Photoluminescent EXIT Signs are so popular is because they do not require electricity, but yet meet the same requirements placed upon EXIT signs that do require electricity to operate. This simple and easy alternative is available now.

Just a short time ago when the cost in fuel and energy consumption where lower the battery backup emergency EXIT signs sold very well, but with the recent climb of energy costs around the world, photoluminescent EXIT signs are quickly gaining the consideration of property owners and managers. These  cool lights require no electrical power, but instead are made of a light absorbing thermoplastic material that uses it and gives it off as light in the dark. This non-electrical choice is very popular in situations where electrical power is not possible or able to reach. When normal internal or natural light is taken in by the photoluminescent thermoplastic it activates the glow in the dark molecules. The energy stored is visible as light when the the lights go out.

A great advantages to photoluminescent lights are that they still comply to same code requirements and standards that electrical signs use which means they can be purchased with no hassle of non compliance fines. Since the photoluminescent lights are “UL 924 Listed” it makes them ready for use in marking exit points and routes in commercial, residential, and industrial buildings. Additionally, it only takes an hour for photoluminescent lights to reach their full potential. From that point on, if there is no consistent source of light, the light given off begins to diminish. But, if they are in an area that is well lit, then they will remain fully charged. This material is perfect for emergency EXIT signs, they will contain a brilliant glow and luminescence for 3 hours, that is double the 90 minute requirement of OSHA requirements.
