There's a Glowing Revolution in the Exit Sign Industry!

There's a new kid on the block when it comes to exit signs, and this one is made of photoluminescent materials.

These signs have come about at just the right time.

The current administration-indeed, the mood of the country in general-is calling for not only a much greener approach to energy, but also a greater focus on savings in terms of budgetary concerns.

These exit signs fit the bill easily in both categories, and will be the answer for some time going forward.

Let's examine why this is the case.

Photoluminescent exit signs have many advantages over their predecessors in the exit sign industry.

The old incandescent lighting and the subsequent radioactive tritium exit signs both carried with them huge baggage that made their replacement not only inevitable, but a necessity.

Incandescent lighting requires that you change bulbs, keep electrical wiring intact, and have an adequate backup system, whether that be batteries or a generator system.

They need regular maintenance, and then of course there's the direct cost of the energy needed to power them.

Tritium exit signs are another matter entirely. Because of their radioactive nature, they are individually tagged and tracked by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. When it comes time to get rid of them, they need to be disposed of by a licensed hazardous materials handler.

Then there's all the paperwork involved-and business owners that choose not to comply with these regulations will face a bevy of

Who needs those problems! In fact, there are so many environmental concerns about these exit signs that they are no longer being

Photoluminescent exit signs have none of these issues. They require no electricity or external power of any kind to run.

They need no battery or generator backup to ensure that they will illuminate when needed.

These exit signs and other emergency egress markings collect and store ambient light so that they can dispense it when there is an

They glow green to a distance of up to 100 feet, and are visible even in smoke-filled environments or utter darkness.

These photoluminescent exit signs and other egress products can also do wonders for your bottom line as well as the environment.

With an installation of 100 of these signs, a typical building would realize a direct savings of more than $3,500 per year, as well as a

reduction in your building's carbon footprint of some half a million pounds of CO2 over the life of the products.
