Wireless exit signs, also known as ‘photoluminescent’, are the most popular non-electrical, code compliant alternative to electrical LED exit signs. When faced with an exit sign application where electricity is not available, photoluminescent exit signs are the solution.
These glow-in-the-dark exit signs are UL924 Listed, which means they meet the same exact requirements that electrical exit signs meet. Using photoluminescent exit signs offers you a number of advantages in both the short and long term.
In the short term, photoluminescent exit signs reduce installation expenses by eliminating material and labor costs. In the long term, wireless exit signs do not have any maintenance or operating costs as they do not require electricity, do not have batteries to maintain, and have a lifespan of 25+ years.
The glowing letters of this exit sign can be seen in complete darkness from up to 50 feet away. The letters are clearly visible for a minimum 90-minutes, which is the same amount of time that the battery backup in an electrical exit sign operates for. These signs are compliant in every state, city, and municipality throughout the United States and Canada.
Wireless exit signs are offered with a red, green, or black face color as well as with a number of mounting options. Examine your application in order to choose the right model. Consider whether you need a single or double-sided sign, as well as if the sign will be mounted to the wall (back mount) or to the ceiling (top mount).
