Frequently asked questions
Does this exit sign require electricity?
No. The BX Tritium Exit Sign is completely self-powered. It uses tritium gas to glow continuously without any wiring, electricity, or batteries.
Is it safe to use tritium in public spaces?
Yes. The tritium gas is sealed in borosilicate glass tubes and meets all federal safety and radiation exposure guidelines. These signs are UL 924 listed and ISO 9001 certified for quality and compliance.
How long does the sign stay illuminated?
Choose between 10-year and 20-year lifespan models. After that time, the tritium naturally decays, and the unit should be recycled.
Where can I use this sign?
This model is ideal for wet locations, extreme temperatures (–76°F to 212°F), and areas where wiring access is limited—such as stairwells, mechanical rooms, outdoor structures, and cold storage.
What mounting options are available?
Each sign includes hardware for wall, ceiling, or side mounting. Optional accessories include pendant kits, aluminum frames, recessed mount kits, and institutional security covers.
Do I need to perform any maintenance?
No. These self-luminous signs require zero maintenance. There are no bulbs to change, batteries to test, or electronics to service.
How do I dispose of expired signs?
Expired units must be returned for certified disposal. We offer Tritium Recycle Certificates and discounted disposal with new purchase.
