Advantages of the photoluminescent exit sign
 Unfortunately, in this day and age, America has seen the need first hand for building evacuations. No exit signs alone will guarantee the safety of everyone inside, but properly marked exits are an important factor in a safe evacuation. Of course, they are also required by law. Many styles of emergency exit signs are available but the best style for most applications is the photoluminescent exit sign, manufactured and distributed by Hyline Safety.
- These signs are easily seen, even in smoky or dusty conditions.
- They do not depend on electricity to operate.
- No electricity means easy installation and low maintenance.
A glow in the dark, or photoluminescent, exit sign is able to absorb energy from the light it is exposed to everyday. When in the dark, this energy is released in the form of a steady glow. These signs, combined with glow in the dark tape, clearly mark the path to exits when lights have failed.
No exit signs alone are enough
 There is, of course, more to building safety than just good exit signs. Plans should be made in advanced and made clear to building occupants, for example. Proper electrical and chemical safety procedures are a must as well. Hyline Safety has a complete array of building safety supplies because we realize that no exit signs alone can be considered a complete safety strategy.
The value of glow in the dark tape
New York City law now requires that most high rise buildings also mark exit paths in with an approved photoluminescent material. An easy and cost effective way to adhere to this new law is to employ glow in the dark tape to clearly mark paths as detailed in the ordinance. There are other materials available, such as paint, but nothing offers the ease of application and convenience of our tape products.
