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 : Does light have to be on the face of the photoluminescent exit sign at all times?
Answer : Yes and No. When anyone is in the building 5 foot candles of light must be present on the sign at all times. When the building is empty the sign, by code, does not require light present on the face.
Question : How long do photoluminescent exit signs glow for?
Answer : When charged properly, photoluminescent exit signs glow for a minimum of 90 minutes; which is one qualification for their UL 924 and ETL listings. Greentorch Photoluminescent exit signs glow for 90 minutes and even longer, up to 8 hours in some cases.
