Product Characteristics

PRODUCT OVERVIEW: Self-Luminous Custom Signs are a non-electrical solution for custom signage that are long lasting and energy efficient. These signs are totally self-contained, highly durable, and attractive. The TCS Tritium Custom Signs are illuminated with a light source that consists of glass tubes internally coated with phosphor and filled with tritium gas, a natural isotope of hydrogen. They are completely free of any external energy source providing 10-20 years of continuously illuminated, maintenance-free operation and code compliant.

CONSTRUCTION: Rugged thermoplastic, flame retardant ABS injection molded housing with tamper resistant finishing bezel. Sealed internal construction prevents unauthorized access to light tubes. Screen printed internal legend protected by clear polycarbonate window.

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 viewing distance.

EXIT FACE: Customizable stencil with made-to-order wording and graphics.


INSTALLATION: Heavy duty universal mounting bracket supplied with hardware. Suitable for wall, ceiling, end mount or optional pendant mounting. Single face models are supplied with keyhole slots in the exit housing’s backplate for attachment to wall surfaces. Mounting canopies are provided with all models for attachment to ceiling or wall surfaces.


CODE COMPLIANCE: Meets NEC Article 500, Class 1, 11 and 111 conditions. Licensed under state and federal regulations for distribution to General Licensees.

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.

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 : 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.
