Innovative glow-in-dark signs utilize latest photo luminescent
technology to replace old exit signs, while providing building owners
an eco-friendly alternative
CLEVELAND, OH, – Heading for the exit is now more energy efficient and eco-friendly
with the new Glo Brite® Eco Exit™ signs available to owners of commercial buildings,
stores, living centers, manufacturing sites and healthcare facilities.
Unlike the old lighted exit signs, the Eco Exit signs need no electricity, wiring,
bulbs or battery backup to point the way out of a building during a blackout, smoky
conditions or at night. The Eco Exit signs utilize the latest photo
luminescent technology to absorb and store ambient light, becoming immediately
visible in dark conditions from up to 50 feet away.
Eco Exit signs consume zero energy, have zero operating costs and zero maintenance
and disposal costs, while reducing the carbon footprint of the facility. They also
are a safer alternative to signs using radioactive tritium technology.
A building with 100 Glo Brite Eco Exit signs can save as much as $3,500 a year in
energy cost and reduce air pollution by almost a half million pounds of carbon
dioxide compared with electrical signs over the 25 year life expectancy of the
product.
These innovative emergency signs are available in steel or plastic models and are
easy to install. They use standard brackets and may be surface, flag or ceiling
mounted in new or retrofit construction.
“These Eco Exit signs are a huge improvement over traditional exit signs,” stated
Dan Ruminski, president of Martinson-Nicholls, Inc, Willoughby, OH, a master
distributor of the product. “They are environmentally friendly, with cost and
energy savings all in one maintenance-free product that provides immediate return on
investment.”
Eco Exit signs are UL 924 listed and meet all current building codes and NFPA Life
Safety Code 101 and OSHA requirements.
