Mounting

Confirm wall, ceiling, end, surface, or specialty mounting and verify the housing fits the substrate and doorway condition.

Quick answers

FAQs About Tritium Exit Signs

Expand the questions that match your application, fixture-selection, or compliance review.

Do tritium exit signs need electricity?

No. Tritium self-luminous signs do not use building power or charging light, but the selected product still must be appropriate for the project and accepted by the local AHJ.

What is the difference between 10-year and 20-year tritium signs?

The service-life designation describes the product's planned useful life. Confirm the exact model documentation, replacement timing, and disposal requirements before specifying.

When should I choose photoluminescent instead?

Choose photoluminescent when dependable ambient charging light is available and the project permits that no-electric technology.

Can tritium signs replace LED battery-backup signs?

Not automatically. Match the sign technology to the project documents, required emergency operation, visibility, listing, and local AHJ acceptance.
