About Glo Brite® Exit Signs

1. How can Glo Brite® Exit Signs work without electricity?

   Glo Brite® Exit Signs use next generation photoluminescent technology that allows the signs to absorb and store energy from ambient florescent light. In the event of an emergency such as blackout or smoky conditions Glo Brite® Exit Signs are immediately visible.

2. Why are Glo Brite® Exit Signs reliable?

   Reliability has been the #1 safety issue with conventional emergency exit signs. Problems with maintenance and bulb failure are typical with electric signs. Glo Brite® Exit Signs are 100% reliable because they have no internal lights to burn out and are virtually maintenance-free for 25+ years.

3. Are Glo Brite® Exit Signs radioactive?

   No, unlike other non-electric signage available today Glo Brite® Exit Signs are non-radioactive and non-toxic.

4. Do Glo Brite® Exit Signs have any special requirements for installation?

   Because Glo Brite® Exit Signs use no electricity they can be installed in almost every high or low location, and without the typically expensive hassle that comes with installing electric signs. Simply follow local building and fire codes for location requirements and make sure your Glo Brite® Exit Sign have 54 lux of fluorescent light on the sign face during building occupancy. Then, go hang your Glo Brite® Exit Signs. It's as simple as that!

5. Are Glo Brite® Exit Signs listed to the UL 924 Standards for Emergency Lighting and Power Equipment?

   Yes. Glo Brite® Exit Signs are listed by UL to UL924 in both the USA and Canada. This also puts Glo Brite® Exit Signs in compliance with NFPA Life Safety Code 101 and most local building codes. Glo Brite® Exit Signs also comply with the ICBO,IBC, UBC, BOCA, SBCCI and ICC building codes.

6. Are Glo Brite® Exit Signs available in any other photoluminescent color than High Visibility Green?

   No, exit sign illumination should be High Visibility Green for good reason. In general, building codes address color as to whether illumination should be green or red. The problem with red light is that the human eye has trouble seeing the color red from a distance, or when the line of sight has been obstructed by smoke. The green spectrum has much higher visibility and readability. The color green is also associated with the mental instruction to GO, much like at a traffic light. Green illumination makes for a much safer and more reliable sign. We do, however, offer our metal sign housing in Black, Red or Green.

7. How long will Glo Brite® Exit Signs last?

   Glo Brite® Exit Signs are built to last! Because there are no internal replacement parts, Glo Brite® Exit Signs will be virtually maintenance-free for 25+ years. Our unique photoluminescent material will also not degrade when exposed to UV light, and allows consistent, uniform illumination across the sign face. Glo Brite® Exit Signs are also explosion-proof, and can be used in sensitive areas that require explosion-proof exit signs.

8. Can Glo Brite® Exit Signs be safely disposed of in a normal disposal process where they end up in a land fill?

   Yes, tests performed by an independent laboratory confirmed that both framed and unframed Glo Brite® Exit Signs may be safely disposed of in a normal disposal process where they end up in land fill.

9. Can Glo Brite® Exit Signs save on energy dollars?

   Absolutely! There are more than 100 million exit signs in buildings across the U.S., operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It is estimated that the U.S. spends $1 Billion to operate these signs. By using Glo Brite® Exit Signs, U.S. companies could save millions of dollars per year in energy and maintenance costs!
