Non-Electric Exit Signs – Zero Power
Non-electric exit signs provide continuous, code-compliant egress illumination without relying on electricity or batteries. Ideal for areas where wiring is impractical or energy efficiency is a priority, these fixtures remain visible during blackouts and require little to no maintenance.
We offer two main types: photoluminescent exit signs and self-luminous exit signs. Photoluminescent models absorb ambient light and glow in the dark, while tritium-based self-luminous signs emit light through radioactive gas—no power or charging required.
All non-electric signs are UL 924 listed and meet NFPA 101 egress standards when installed in appropriate locations. They're ideal for stairwells, remote areas, mechanical rooms, green buildings, and energy-conscious facilities seeking no power exit signs.
Whether you're looking for eco-friendly photoluminescent signage or long-lasting tritium exit signs, these always-on solutions offer safe egress visibility without the complexity of electrical connections.
FAQs About Non-Electric Exit Signs
❓ What is a non-electric exit sign?
It’s an exit sign that requires no wiring or electricity to operate. These include photoluminescent and self-luminous signs that glow without a power source.
❓ How do photoluminescent signs work?
They absorb ambient light (minimum 5 foot-candles) and glow in the dark for hours. They're non-radioactive, recyclable, and ideal for LEED-certified buildings.
❓ What is a self-luminous exit sign?
It uses tritium gas to provide constant illumination for 10, 15, or 20 years without any external light or power. These are maintenance-free and usable in total darkness.
❓ Are non-electric exit signs code compliant?
Yes. Both photoluminescent and self-luminous signs are UL 924 listed and meet NFPA 101 requirements when installed per manufacturer guidelines.
❓ Do these signs expire?
Photoluminescent signs do not expire. Tritium signs have a lifespan (typically 10–20 years) and include a printed expiration date for compliance tracking.
❓ Where are non-electric signs typically installed?
Ideal for stairwells, storage rooms, utility tunnels, and off-grid or energy-restricted areas where power access is limited or unavailable.
