Product Characteristics

PRODUCT OVERVIEW: The SLEA Series Institutional Self Luminous Exit Sign is an innovative non-electrical solution for exit signs. This model features a custom colored, milled aluminum housing. The housing is milled from a single piece of aluminum. The housing is then brought to a high-end finish. Then the housing is finished in a brushed, satin, polished, or matte style. The SLEA is designed for high-end use and is the only architectural self-luminous sign of its type, offered in both singled and double sided versions. The SLEA can be top, side, back, or pendant mounted and is available with red, green, black, white, or custom colored faceplates. Completely self-luminous, SLEA Tritium exit signs consume no electricity and illuminate continuously for 10 to 20 years, depending on the model. SLEA signs require no wiring or maintenance and are suitable for ceiling level or low level applications.

CONSTRUCTION: SLEA Series Exit Signs are milled from a single piece of aluminum and available in multiple custom finishes. The SLEA series comes with a choice of red, green, black, white or custom face color. The mounting bracket supplied with top or side mount SLEA models is constructed of aluminum. The sign can stand up to levels of abuse seen in many institutional uses yet retains an appeal for high-aesthetic areas.

ILLUMINATION: Tritium gas tubes glow continuously without the need for external power for 10-20 years, depending on the model. Letter brightness meets UL requirements for self-luminous exit signs. 125 foot UL Listed viewing distance.

EXIT FACE:
Letter Size: 6” letters with 3/4” stroke

Directional Indicators: Infield applicable chevron arrows sized to meet UL visibility requirements.


BATTERY TECHNOLOGY: The SLEA is self-luminous and requires no battery, meaning much less maintenance over the service life of the product.

Double-sided models are always supplied with the top/end mount bracket. Pendant kit available for vaulted ceilings and similar applications.

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.
Question : Is Tritium Dangerous and can I have them in my facility? What happens if the sign gets broken?
Answer : This is a common question. I suppose any object can be dangerous depending on how far from you deviate from its intended and recommended use. If the nature of your question is to determine risk to health, then consider that the tritium is an extremely low level radioactive device. The radioactivity is so low that the decaying betarays could not penetrate a standard piece of paper. The material in our exit signs are in a gas form, sealed within borosillicate tubes, and housed in a tray that is dropped tested from 10 ft, and mounted in a housing that is shield by a polycarbonate lens, lexan stencil, and thermoplastic framing. If the sign is used as intended, it poses more risk to humans from falling off the wall from improper installation, then it does being a source of radioactive contamination. This material is also used in gun sights, dials in air craft, and keychains in the UK.
Question : How do I know if this exit sign is approved for use in my city/county/state?
Answer : The UL listing (Underwriters Laboratories) for of our exit signs ensures that these signs are code compliant. UL tests our exit signs and then gives their approval. This approval comes in the form of a listing. As long as your exit sign is UL listed it will work for your jurisdiction. Two exceptions exist: New York City and Chicago, which have their own exit sign specifications in addition to the UL listing.
