Jessup Manufacturing, leader in photoluminescent films and strips, is working to make buildings safer by leveraging the technology to offer glow-in-the-dark exit signs and egress markings.

Photoluminescent fire safety signage, also referred to as glow-in-the-dark or self-illuminating, provides a non-electrical option that is approved by organizations such as the Occupational Health and Safety Administration and National Fire Protection Association.

Glow-in-the-dark fire safety signage offers buildings an option that is sustainable, both green and built to last. There are no bulbs to replace with glow-in-the-dark exit signs and no back-up batteries required. Because of this, installation is very simple and minimal maintenance is required to the units themselves. This technology offers buildings a way to offer excellent fire safety signage while reducing electricity and maintenance costs.
Glow-in-the-dark exit signs provides several benefits:

-With a 25 year lifespan, that is longer than traditional emergency exit signage
-You can eliminate back-up power sources for emergency exit systems.
-Energy Star states by replacing 100 LED exit signs with photoluminescent you would have an energy cost savings of a little over $450 a year.
-On average photoluminescent exit signs reported 40-percent less expensive as other exit signs on the market.
-Builders can earn points towards LEED certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)
