Do you know about Photoluminescent Safety Signs?
Photoluminescent safety signs are glow in the dark escape and fire signage designed for interior use. Photoluminescent materials are sensitive to light exposure. Photoluminescent absorbs light at a certain wavelength and emits light at another wavelength - hence it glows in the dark.
Why Photoluminescent Safety Signs?
Photoluminescent material needs light to charge, it does not need constant electricity like the traditional light box systems used. Depending on how long the photoluminescent material has charged for under the correct lighting, this material will give off high visibility for approximately 60 minutes. During an evacuation, people will need signage to direct them in the safest and quickest possible way into safety. In the event that there is a power outage or a situation where there is smoke, you will be able to see the signage and get to safety.
