Non-Electrical Specifications

Tritium illuminationξis produced by gaseousξtritium, anξisotopeξofξhydrogen, which produces visible light. Tritium gas naturally emitsξelectronsξand when they combine and interact with a phosphor materialξlightξis emitted. This is a process also known asξradioluminescence. Tritium lighting for self luminous exit signs is made using glass tubes with aξphosphorξlayer in them andξtritiumξgas inside the tube. Tritium tubes are constructed from shatterproof borosilicate glass.

Code Compliance

UL924 Listed for the U.S. and Canada, CS860, NFPA, Life Safety 101, UL Listed for Damp Locations. UL Listed for Wet Locations.

Popularity

The self luminous exit sign is becoming more popular everyday because of it's completely non-electrical illumination technology. Self luminous exit signs use tritium, an isotope of hydrogen (H3), to produce brilliant green EXIT lighting. Self luminous exit signs are viewable from up to 125 feet away, which is the longest viewing distance of any type of exit sign. We offer a variety of lifespans for our self luminous exit sign, up to 20 years. The most popular is the 20 year model because for most installations, the building will be around for more than 10 years. So, by purchasing a 20-year self luminous exit sign lifespan, the need to replace exit signs after 10 years is eliminated and the purchase price is only about $35 more per sign.

Both single and double sided self luminous exit signs are available for purchase. When installing a double-sided tritium powered exit sign, use the aluminum mounting bracket that is included with the sign. Single-sided self luminous exit signs can be installed by simply removign the plastic frame and installing a screw into each corner, then re-attaching the frame. All self luminous exit signs are UL924 Listed, which means they meet the requirements of the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and are guaranteed as code compliant for the United States and also Canada.

The best part about self luminous exit signs is that they don't require electrical conduit, so that means all installation, maintenance, and operating costs are eliminated for the lifespan of the sign. Guaranteed compliance, reliability, and no operating costs - could it get any better?
