Photoluminescent

What are they

Our photoluminescent signs consist of a selection of our health and safety signs which are printed on a material that glows in the dark. This type of sign is often considered as an added benefit. In the light they perform like a standard sign but if there is an incident and the lights go out they remain visible for a period of time, allowing the message on the sign to be read in darkness.

Defining characteristics

Photoluminescent signs are a change in material rather than a change in sign message type, and therefore the basic characteristics of the sign (colours and message type) remain the same as their non-photoluminescent counterparts – Safe Condition, Mandatory etc. Photoluminescent signs require no power to light up, however they must be ‘charged up’ by natural or artificial light. Once the light goes out, the signs will glow for a period of time, the exact length of which depends upon the grade of material and the amount of light the sign has received prior to activation.

Our signs are manufactured on P.S.P.A Class B material, which is brighter than the standard Class A product commonly used in many photoluminescent safety signs, and can glow for up to 10 hours once fully charged. It has been tested to DIN67510 Part 1 – 4 for afterglow performance which exceeds the international standard for flammability, smoke and toxicity.

When to use them

Although there is no legal requirement to use photoluminescent versions of safety signs, the Fire Exit options are commonly requested as part of a comprehensive safety way guidance system (SWGS) in conjunction with photoluminescent wall strips and floor signage.

Photoluminescent versions of other types of signs can ensure that fire alarms or fire fighting equipment can still be located even in cases of poor lighting, smoke or lack of power.
