Photoluminescent (Glow in the Dark) Products

In today’s society, safety at the workplace is of paramount importance. We are being trained that at any time, we can experience a natural or terrorist driven disaster. How will your employees safely evacuate your building during an emergency when there are no lights, or when smoke obscures the exits?

A photoluminescent egress path marking system is the answer to this question. Photoluminescent systems enable the building occupants to safely see the corridors and exits as they “light up” or “glow” when sudden darkness occurs. This type of signage can be architecturally incorporated into your existing office spaces and will only standout during a blackout condition. Photoluminescent signs and path markers illuminate (glow-in-the-dark) immediately following a power failure enabeling building occupants to evacuate safely down staircases and through passageways.

All photoluminescent products are manufactured using a non-toxic, non-radioactive phosphore-based compound that absorbs energy from ambient light sources. During a power failure this stored energy is slowly released, illuminating safety signs and path markers allowing for safe evacuation in darkness.
