Product Characteristics

PRODUCT OVERVIEW: The BLADE Series is a prime eco-friendly option for exit signs; constructed from 99% aluminum and completely non-electrical, the BLADE Series can be fully recycled at the end of its 25-year lifespan. The BLADE Series utilizes non-electrical photoluminescent or glow-in-the-dark technology, which illuminates the word EXIT with a surrounding face color choice of red, green, or black. The BLADE Series has a UL Listed 50 foot viewing distance. The BLADE Series is a great choice for new construction LEED projects and existing buildings that working toward LEED certification or need exit signs installed where there currently is no electricity. The cost to run electrical conduit is expensive, and the BLADE avoids this hassle while insuring fire and building code compliance. The BLADE eliminates the dependence on electricity for saftey signage. The BLADE comes standard with a black aluminum frame or flush mount low profile brushed aluminum frame. Installs in minutes with the surface mount hardware kit (included). Overall, the BLADE’s aluminum construction and non-electrical photoluminescent technology make it a superior exit sign choice for both high and low level applications.

CONSTRUCTION: The BLADE exit sign face and frame are constructed of 99% recycled aluminum. Greentorch uses the highest grade industrial photoluminescent pigment.

ILLUMINATION: Non-electrical photoluminescent glow-in-the-dark technology utilizes ambient lighting to charge and illuminates without dependence on electrical backup during an emergency. The BLADE features a 50 foot UL Listed viewing distance with minimal maintenance (occasional dusting) during its 25+ year life expectancy. Minimum 5 foot-candle (54 lux) external unfiltered light source (fluorescent, metal halide, or mercury vapor illumination, etc.) must be present on the sign face at all times of building occupancy.

Question : How do I configure the arrows for my sign?
Answer : Many signs come with the ability to set the arrows to your preference at the time of installation. This is called 'infield' applicable arrows. Almost all signs come with field applicable arrows. Here is how they differ. thermoplastic signs have pop-out arrows that can be removed or added to your choice. Cast-Aluminum signs have knock-outs. knock-outs are where we indent the back side of the face plate with a cut in the shape of arrows requiring the tap of a screw driver or hammer to 'knock' them all the way out. It is difficult to add back knocked-out arrows because the seams are exposed. It can be done, but it looks nicer when you are accurate. Self-luminous and photoluminescent signs use stencils and/or adhesive arrows. The adhesive arrows can only be applied once. You can remove them after application but the y are designed for permanent adhesion. The stencils can be popped out. Edge-lit exit signs can have the arrows pre-specified, adhesive, or static. Our signs use either static or pre-configured in general, as the panels for edge-lits are prone to smudges and fingerprints. Our signs look great because our chevrons are designed for easy and clean installation, minus the smudges.

Question : Are non-electrical signs bright enough?
Answer : Both Tritium and Photoluminescent Exit signs are subject to visibility tests at UL. Signs bearing the UL listed mark meet or exceed the minimum requirements as set forth by UL, which are accepted by NFPA 101 Life Safety and are accepted by building codes including IBC. They are bright enough to pass the visibility tests. Are they bright enough to see through a smoke filled room? No sign is able to been seen through smoke, including electrical signs. In order to achieve a safe exit passage in smokey situations, low level exit signs are required.
