FAQs About Photoluminescent Exit Signs (100-ft)
Does this sign require electricity or batteries?
No. It is a non-electrical, photoluminescent sign. There are no wires, chargers, bulbs, or batteries to install or maintain.
How long will it remain visible during a power outage?
When properly charged, the legend remains clearly visible for at least 90 minutes, with a rated viewing distance of up to 100 ft. Brightness decays gradually over time, which is normal for photoluminescent materials.
What light level is needed to charge it?
Provide continuous ambient illumination of about 5 foot-candles on the sign face during occupancy. Typical LED, fluorescent, or HID general lighting is suitable.
How long does it take to reach a full charge?
After lights are turned on, allow approximately 60 minutes for a full charge. Maintain the required ambient light level during occupied hours to keep the sign ready.
Is it approved for floor-proximity (low-level) mounting?
Yes. It is UL 924 listed for standard and floor-proximity locations when installed per the instructions and local code requirements.
Is it “explosion-proof” for hazardous locations?
The sign is non-electrical and does not create sparks. Suitability for explosion-proof areas is typical, but acceptance in classified (hazardous) locations depends on the AHJ and site conditions—verify locally.
Can I install it outdoors or in wet areas?
This model is intended for interior use. Do not install in wet, exterior, or corrosive environments unless the specific model is rated for those conditions.
What arrow (chevron) options are available?
Field-applied chevrons are included. You can configure left, right, both, or no arrows during installation.
Do I need an electrician to install it?
No. Installation is mechanical only (surface, flag/90°, or ceiling/stem). Use the included hardware and follow the supplied instructions; verify anchoring/placement with the AHJ.
What maintenance is required?
Very little. Keep the face clean so it can charge—wipe with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Which codes and standards does this meet?
UL 924 photoluminescent exit sign; compliant with NFPA 101 and OSHA. Additional approvals include ICC ES 6040, CA SFM #6200-1617-100, and LA RR 25531. Always confirm local acceptance with the AHJ.
What are the size and letter height?
Overall dimensions are approximately 15.875 in W × 8.625 in H × 0.375 in D with 7-inch letters and a 0.875-inch stroke, supporting the 100-ft viewing distance rating.
What colors and faces are available?
Frames are available in black, green, or red. Choose single-face or double-face configurations to match your corridor layout.
