Photoluminescent Exit Sign - 50 Ft Viewing, Non-Electrical, Brushed Aluminum Frame - Features & Specs

This 50-ft photoluminescent exit sign pairs an architectural brushed-aluminum frame with a rigid glow panel for high-contrast legibility along indoor egress paths where a listed 50-foot viewing distance is sufficient. It provides UL 924 visibility with no power, wiring, or routine maintenance. Available in single- or double-sided models with green or red EXIT letters. For another non-electrical option, see our self-luminous exit signs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I confirm from my drawings that a 50-ft rating is sufficient for this location?

Measure the longest straight-line approach distance to the sign along the intended viewing path on your plan set. If the farthest viewer position is ≤ 50 ft with clear line-of-sight, this 50-ft model is appropriate; otherwise step up to a 100-ft model.

Can this 50-ft model be used for floor-proximity (low-level) exit indication?

Yes—if permitted by the AHJ and the face receives ≥ 5 fc during occupancy at the installed height. Maintain contrast against the adjacent finish and avoid baseboard obstructions.

Does the brushed aluminum frame provide advantages beyond appearance?

It offers rigid support for the PL panel and a durable, architectural finish that resists warping and helps keep the legend flat and crisp at 50 ft. Do not paint or wrap the luminous surface.

Is there any perceptible difference between red vs. green legends at 50 ft?

Both versions are UL 924 listed for 50-ft viewing when properly charged. Choose the legend color specified by your AHJ or to maximize contrast against nearby finishes.

How long should I commission (charge) a new install before an after-hours test?

Allow a full occupied lighting cycle before testing in darkness. In practice, facilities commission during a normal workday so the face receives continuous charging light prior to a lights-out drill.

Do non-electrical 50-ft signs require monthly push-button tests?

No electrical test is applicable. Instead, adopt a visual check: verify the local lighting delivers ≥ 5 fc on the face during occupancy and confirm clear line-of-sight at the expected viewing distance.

Can I retrofit this 50-ft sign into holes left by a removed electric exit sign?

Often, yes. Patch or use a cover plate as needed; mount the sign on a flat, rigid surface and ensure the local lighting still provides ≥ 5 fc on the sign face.

Does this model integrate with photoluminescent egress path markings?

Yes. It complements PL stair treads, handrail strips, and pathway lines. The exit sign identifies the door; path-marking products guide movement—specify both where required.
