| Aisle Lighting and Signage - System Design |
|
The recommended photoluminescent markings are as follows: 1. Aisle Steps The horizontal leading edge of all steps are marked 2. Aisle Landings The perimeters are marked either on the floor within 100mm of the wall or on the wall within 100mm of the floor. 3. Ramps The perimeters are marked either on the floor within 100mm of the perimeter or on the wall within 100mm of the floor. 4. Handrails The top surface of all handrails is marked with a strip. The strip extends along the entire length of the handrail to within 100mm of the ends. Where a handrail bends or turns corners there is a gap of no more than 100mm. 5. Row Markers The rows are labelled with photoluminescent row markers to identify the row and the range of seats accessed from the aisle. These can be either attached to the seats or installed on the floor. 6. Signage Wherever directional decisions need to be made photoluminescent signs showing an arrow and/or running man are used. Photoluminescent labelling of facilities such as bathrooms, accessibility routes, fire hydrants etc can also be advantageous. |
