While battery backup emergency exit signs are the most commonly used emergency lights for commercial and retail applications, in recent times Photoluminescent exit signs have gained in popularity. The amazing part is these signs are not powered by electricity, but instead made of a light absorbing thermoplastic that glows in complete darkness.

This non-electrical exit sign design is becoming popular in applications where electrical power is not easily accessible or there is no access at all. When the Photoluminescent plastic absorbs light from the building's normal and natural lights systems excites the glow in the dark molecules. The extra energy is given off as visible light when dark conditions are existing.

Glow in the dark exit signs are put through rigorous testing and certified to the same code specifications and standards that traditional electrical signs are, so they can be substituted in place of another one without worry. Photoluminescent exit signs are UL 924 Listed, making them acceptable for use in marking exit routes in commercial facilities in all areas of the United States and Canada.

Also, they can be used indoors in all various forms of commercial applications. Photoluminescent exit signs usually take about an hour to absorb enough light to reach their peak performance and luminescence. From that moment, if there is no continuing source of energy input the luminescence given off begins to fade. However, as long as there is light in the area of the sign, they remain fully charged. This makes this particular material excellent for emergency exit signs, as they will continue illumination of the location of the exits for as long as three hours, double the 90 minute requirement laid out by OSHA.
