Self-luminous Exit Signs

Self-luminous exit signs are a non-electrical type of exit sign ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications. Self-luminous exit signs operate by using a revolutionary type of technology that utilizes a naturally glowing form of hydrogen, known as tritium. The non-electrical technology of self-luminous exit signs allows for easy installation and eliminates maintenance costs associated with conventional exit signs. Self-luminous exit signs are tested and approved for use by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), which guarantees code compliance throughout North America.

The glowing tritium used in our self-luminous exit signs is enclosed in shatterproof borosilicate glass tubes that are arranged to spell “EXIT.” These tubes are then encased in an impact-resistant thermoplastic housing that features multiple face and frame color options. Tritium naturally glows for 10, 15, or 20 years depending on the model that is purchased. Self-luminous exit signs are a popular choice for both retrofit and new construction projects. For retrofit applications, self-luminous exit signs eliminate the energy and maintenance operating costs of electrical exit signs. When designing a new construction project, the cost of running dedicated electrical conduit for exit signs can be very expensive. This cost can be eliminated through implementing self-luminous exit signs in the design phase. Self-luminous exit signs come with installation hardware and easy-to-follow instructions. Self-luminous exit signs install in minutes and do not require an electrician. Overall, self-luminous signs are the most cost-effect exit sign choice available.
