Emergency Lighting
Photoluminescent markings can be used to:
Emergency lighting systems must be highly reliable and operate as soon as there is failure of the main lighting system. Traditional back up battery or generator systems can suffer from partial or total failure to operate, delays in start-up times, limited operating durations, installation difficulties and maintenance issues. Photoluminescent systems can overcome these shortcomings due to their immediate start up and the fact that they are failsafe. For this reason even where traditional emergency systems are in place a photoluminescent system will greatly improve safety. (2)
