Photoluminescent Signs and Tapes
Photoluminescent (glow in the dark) material is fast becoming one of the most important new technologies in the life-safety industry. From buildings of all types to airplanes, trains and passenger ships, photoluminescent signage and wayfinding products are integral to modern life-safety plans.
Stable and non-toxic, with low maintenance and a long service-life, photoluminescent products are safe, effective and economical.
A Proven Application
Lunaplast introduced photoluminescent signage to the world in 1996. Since then, photoluminescence has become a requirement for safety signage in passenger ships, aircraft and tall buildings across North America.
Many building codes now mandate the use of photoluminescent signage. In New York City, Local Law 26 requires that photoluminescent signage be provided on egress routes and in many other locations where information must be displayed clearly when electrical power fails. LunaplastTM provides the highest quality photoluminescent signage in the industry.
Current Lunaplast photoluminescent installations include:
Many prestigious New York buildings including:
· The New York Times Building
· The Brill Building
· 101 Park Ave
... to name just a few
Thousands of ships, aircraft and vehicles
Major US urban transit (subway) systems
The White House complex (OEOB, Office of the Vice President)
The International Space Station
Public buildings from Singapore to Dubai
Photoluminescent Signs Save Lives
Research after 9/11 proved that PL egress signs save lives in a blackout
Photoluminescent Signs Save Money
Installing PL signs is vastly less expensive than equivalent electrical signs
Photoluminescent Signs Save The Environment
No power to run them, non-toxic, no radioactivity, 40 year + lifespan, and they are recyclable!
Where To Use Photoluminescent Signs?
- When mandated by codes (like Local Law 26)
- When renovating - add PL exit signs to save money
- New construction - add PL egress markings to meet or exceed local codes
- Vulnerable populations - seniors centers, daycares, schools
Tested And Certified To Meet International Codes
Regulators in North America now embrace photoluminescent signs as a preferred alternative to electrical signage. Code organizations such as NFPA Life Safety Code 101, Underwriters Laboratory Inc UL924, and EPA Energy Star recognize and allow LunaplastTM photoluminescent signage to replace electrical exit signs.
LunaplastTM signage meets or exceeds the following national and international specifications and codes:
- New York City, Local Law 26, RS6-1 & RS6-1A
- DIN 67510 - 1, world-wide photoluminescent spec
- ISO/CD 15370, world-wide spec for passenger ships
- ASTM E 2072-00, world-wide photoluminescent spec
- APTA SS-PS-004-99, passenger railway spec
- 1998 & 2009 California Building Code
- NFPA 101 Life Safety Code
- UL 924 Photoluminescent Exit Sign standard
