3 Reasons Why Contractors Should Install Photoluminescent Exit Signs

As a contractor, you have to make sure your facility’s safety protection system is up to date and complies with all the required code standards. But, keeping up with the code standards is a daunting task, especially when the government laws keep on changing them. Also, the Emergency Exit signs they install in the project must be durable and long-lasting. Another factor contractor has to take into account before installing exit signs is their cost-efficiency. This is where Photoluminescent Exit Signs come in the picture. They play an essential role in keeping lives safe in the event of an emergency. At times of fire, power outage, or other emergencies, it's the exit signs that guide pedestrians to the safe exit. Photoluminescent exit signs operate by the ambient light it absorbs, thus marking the exit route. 
Still, thinking whether to install Photoluminescent exit signs in your project? Here are some reasons that will reassure your decision to invest in the exit signs.

They are Rechargeable:

Photoluminescent exit signs are charged by ambient light like fluorescent, incandescent or halogen lamps and also natural sunlight. Hence you don't require any electricity or battery to charge them. When they are fully charged, they will operate without any hassles for 8-10 hours. The strength of the exit signs depends on the type of light, how long the light stays on, and also the intensity. Hence by installing them, contractors can save a large amount of money.

Little Maintenance:

One reason why contractors prefer photoluminescent exit signs over other electric signage is they require less maintenance. Along with being cost-efficient, they are convenient to install. They don't have to be tested on a monthly basis, thus saves a lot of time and efforts of contractors. They are reliable and require fewer inspections. They don't require any backup battery testing; they have shorter charging time, no breakable parts. Being said that contractors should clean the signs to remove the debris and dust, but they don't require any other upkeep. With the sight maintenance cut down, contractors can focus on other important tasks.

Code Compliant:

Before installing the Emergency Lighting indoors, contractors have to ensure they comply with the national, regional, and provincial code standards. Photoluminescent exit signs comply with all the code standards and play an essential role in meeting the project requirements. Also, while installing them, contractors have to follow proper guidelines to ensure there are no deviations from the standards. Also, photoluminescent exit signs are non-toxic and made of non-radioactive material hence a safe choice for contractors.
