All About Self Luminous Exit Signs
If you need to install an exit sign, but electricity is not available at your installation location, consider installing a self luminous exit sign. Self luminous exit signs utilize Tritium, a glowing type of hydrogen gas, to provide brilliant, constant EXIT illumination for up to 20 years. Self luminous exit signs have been around for more than 20 years and their popularity is still on the rise. Eliminate the cost of hiring an electrician to perform an invasive installation for an electrical exit sign by installing a self luminous exit sign. Self luminous exit signs easily install in less than 20 minutes and you can perform the installation yourself. The benefits don't end there, after you install the sign there are no maintenance duties to perform; no batteries or bulbs to replace and no moving parts to worry about wearing out. Just install the sign and you are immediately compliant with no operating costs for 10 to 20 years.
Self Luminous Exit Signs eliminate operating costs and last up to 20 years
The Exit Store manufactures and provides 48 standard self luminous exit sign models. Models vary depending on face color, frame color, face count, and lifespan. The first detail to consider will be lifespan. We offer 10, 15, and 20 year models. Analyze the projected use of your facility, if it will be less than 10 years then go with a 10 year model. Choose a 15 year model if you expect to use the building for 10 to 15 years, and if you expect to be there more than 15 years, go with a 20 year model. When choosing face and frame color it is entirely up to you; all face and frame color combos are compliant throughout the country. We offer white or black frames with red, green, black, or white face colors. Red face with white frame is the most popular choice and it is important to note that the letters of self luminous exit signs will always glow green. If your exit sign will be mounted flat against a wall, directly over an exit door, or will only need to be read from one side, then you will want to purchase a single sided model. If EXIT will need to be read from two directions for your application, choose a double-sided model. If you need help figuring out which model is best for you, please call us today. All models come with a mounting bracket and hardware for secure installation.
