Smoke Visibility of Exit Sign in Fire

“You're going to be on your hands and knees, and you probably won't be able to see your hand in front of your face. And if you're underneath that exit sign, just eight or 10 feet away from it, it might as well be a hundred miles away”1

“In the absence of other lights in the test chamber, signs of conventional design were visible through 2-5 m [6.6-16.4 ft] of smoke of a lower density than that found in many fires.”2
