Q. When can we use a non-glow sign?

A.

Emergency egress signs must be illuminated, as their sole purpose is to guide the path to safety in case of fire or a blackout situation. You must use glowing Exit signs to meet codes and standards, especially UL 924 regulations.
In addition to your glowing Exit sign system, it is highly recommended to use glowing text for other instructional safety signs that are vital in an emergency situation.

Q. Should I install green or red Exit signs for my establishment? Does it matter?

A.

These color choices are based on building codes that vary state-by-state. Most U.S. states require the color red; however, parts of California, Oregon, Washington State, Colorado and International codes require green signage. We offer both options to accommodate the needs of your state. Take a look at our state-by-state information, and call your local fire marshal for a personal, local recommendation.

Q. Should we mount signs with tape, screws, or both?

A.

Whatever you do, don't rely solely on tape. To meet building codes, your sign must have at least two wall-mount screws, only one of which can be keyhole-shaped. We recommend using four tamper-proof holes for the safest, sturdiest mount, and adhesive backing is great for initial positioning. Our signs include four pre-drilled holes, for a better hold and increased tamper resistance.

Q. How tall should the EXIT letters be?

A.

EXIT letters should be no less than 6" high (8" in New York) with a 3/4" stroke (letter thickness). We offer Exit signs with both 6" and 8" lettering to comply with your state codes and regulations.

Q. When do you use a bi-directional EXIT sign?

A.

Use a bi-directional EXIT sign if your facility has more than one exit path. Use arrows to point to each exit from a centrally-located sign; otherwise, a unidirectional sign will point to your single exit.
Here's an example: imagine you are in a T-shaped hallway, where one exit path is 20 feet away and another exit path is 40 feet away. Your Exit sign should point to both possible Exits, in the case that one is blocked during an emergency.
Even though one Exit is closer than the other, it is vital to mark both Exits for a dire emergency situation. This is when you need to use a bi-directional Exit sign.

Q. What is meant by an "Edge Lit" exit sign?

A.

An edge-lit sign has illuminated edges, and this feature is typically found on electric LED signs. Photoluminescent signs are not edge-lit, since it is not required locally or statewide in the U.S. 
Edge-lit signs are not as durable as solid acrylic signs, for example; however, they do provide additional directional light sources and add a contemporary look to many Exit signs.

Q. What types of Exit signs work best in wet areas or in food preparation areas?

A.

Photoluminescent signs will shine brightly for more than 20 years. As previously mentioned, a dirty environment will compromise the ability of the photoluminescent pigment to absorb and store light. If your establishment gets dirty, we recommend that you wipe your photoluminescent signs regularly to achieve maximum illumination in an emergency.
As an alternative, Tritium signs will require no additional source of electricity, and soil will not affect its luminescence as severely.

Q. When should I use a bilingual Exit sign?

A.

You can use a bilingual or Spanish Exit sign wherever you feel that your environment can benefit from it. There is no regulation as far as federal or state laws that require the use of bilingual signs, but you have to consider the people who will use the facilities when deciding whether or not to use a bilingual sign. Is another language the primary conversational language of employees or visitors? 
Are there bilingual schools in the neighborhood? In these cases, you will want to consider using a bilingual sign.
If you choose a bilingual Exit sign, always take language equality into consideration. You want to be sure that the bilingual signs you order do not feature one language much larger than the other, or that they present drastically different messages. While different fonts, colors, and terms will make your sign more effective, the goal is to make both languages equally helpful and never a hindrance to its readers.

Q. What does it mean when an exit sign is called "self-luminous"? Is this radioactive?

A.

Self-luminous signage typically refers to Tritium signs, which is a radioactive material that is a viable light source. Tritium signs may not require an internal power source, but they do require radioactive disposal when you no longer need them.
Our photoluminescent signs use Safety-Grade Strontium Oxide, which is not radioactive and is safe to use anywhere.

Q. Can we install too many exit signs? At one of our facilities, I could spot over six different exit signs, each pointing to a different door at the end of the hallways.

A.

In any case, common sense must be used when choosing where to put an Exit Sign. While your fire marshal will have a very specific recommendation, you can also ask yourself: are there redundant signs? Can multiple signs be seen from the same viewing angle? Ultimately, your job is to get people out as quickly as possible, but you don't want to buy more signs than you need, either. A good rule of thumb is to stand at any point in your facility and ask yourself, "can I see a sign that points toward an exit?" If you see more than one exit sign -- it doesn't hurt anyone!

Q. What is the best type of exit sign for low-level mounting?

A.

Most buildings do not have readily available power sources where low-level exit signs need to be installed. Moreover, these low-level signs need to be durable. They are kicked, carts run into them, and they are often subjected to water and cleaning agents. 
Since low-level mounts are required along the entirety of your egress exit paths, it would be incredibly expensive to install the LED electric system down your entire stairwell. Unlike the dated Tritium self-laminating signs, photoluminscent signs will emit no radioactivity if kicked or mishandled. Photoluminescent signs offer the most dependable, durable, and inexpensive choice for low-level and egress Exit path systems.

Q.Is it true that my Exit Signs have to be wired on their own, individual circuits? I am guessing that will be costly.

A.

Generally, yes, this is true. And, as you have guessed, this could mean some serious electrical work. For this reason, we see many building owners, when faced with various retrofit options are now buying photoluminescent signs. They require no wiring.

Q. How often do I need to check my battery?

A.

You generally need to check your battery every six months. Checking your battery vital -- at the World Trade Center, the fire department determined that over 70% of their batteries did not work properly (in other words, they could not light a sign for 90+ minutes). Checking your Exit Sign batteries are just as important as your fire alarms, so add it to your schedule!
