Overview
The Glow In The Dark Exit Sign is a self-powered fixture that uses glow in the dark technology to provide 90 minutes of emergency illumination without the need for AC power or battery packs. This exit sign absorbs light throughout the day to provide viewable illumination from 75 feet away when power to the building is cut and the primary source of light is lost. This technology requires only a small amount of incandescent or fluorescent light to charge the exit sign to reliably power "EXIT" in glowing red or green for 90 minutes. The Glow In The Dark Exit Sign illuminates its text the exact same way as glow in the dark strips or stickers direct evacuation in times of emergency.
The Glow In The Dark Exit Sign is completely self-powered and self-contained, which means there is no need for an electrician to install and wire it. Simply use the included mounting bracket for a simple installation that is done in less than 20 minutes. Because glow in the dark technology does not require a power source, there are no battery packs to replace and no monthly or yearly maintenance tests. Once installed, traditional commercial lighting will power the unit for 25 years of reliable illumination.
Glow in the dark fixtures meet the same UL 924 guidelines as their traditional counterparts. They are long lasting, dependable, and quickly becoming the most popular choice when choosing a new exit sign.

Application
The Glow In The Dark Exit Sign is intended for indoor use where incandescent or fluorescent lights charge the sign. Light is absorbed throughout the day to power the exit sign for at least 90 minutes of illumination when the main source of power is lost. The Glow In The Dark Exit Sign requires at least five-foot candles of light on the face of the exit sign at all times to ensure adequate charge for emergency illumination. Standard fluorescent, incandescent, halogen, and gas vapor lighting methods all adequately meet this standard. The Glow In The Dark Exit Sign can be mounted to almost any surface because it requires no electrical connection to charge.
