Photoluminescent Emergency Exit Arrow, Self-Adhesive – PERMALIGHT

Photoluminescent emergency exit arrow with self-adhesive backing for corridors, stairwells, route junctions, and evacuation decision points. It absorbs and stores ambient light during working hours, then glows during power outages or low-light conditions without batteries or electrical wiring. Designed for indoor use with a service life of up to 25 years. Available in aluminum or plastic, 14.6 cm or 20 cm sizes, with straight or diagonal arrow options.
Unit: PCS

The photoluminescent emergency exit arrow provides clear directional guidance along evacuation routes and corridors leading to emergency exits. It helps reduce hesitation at corridor turns, intersections, stairwell entrances, route junctions, and other decision points inside buildings.

The strong self-adhesive backing allows clean installation on suitable indoor surfaces without screws or drilling. The arrow can be installed on walls, doors, glass panels, and other smooth surfaces included in the approved evacuation plan.

How the Photoluminescent Emergency Exit Arrow Works

The photoluminescent material absorbs natural or artificial ambient light and stores it during working hours. When the lighting level drops or the power supply fails, the material releases the stored light to keep the evacuation direction visible.

  • No battery is required to produce visible guidance in darkness.
  • No electrical wiring is required for illumination.
  • It absorbs and stores light during working hours before releasing it in low-light conditions.
  • Designed for indoor use in corridors, stairwells, and evacuation routes.
  • Indoor service life of up to 25 years when installed and used according to the product instructions.

The arrow should receive sufficient exposure to a suitable light source so the photoluminescent material can recharge and provide the required visibility.

  • Doors leading toward emergency exits.
  • Offices and commercial buildings.
  • Hotels, hospitals, and public facilities.
  • Industrial administration areas.
  • Multi-storey buildings and indoor evacuation routes.

Emergency exit arrows should be positioned consistently along the evacuation route, from internal corridors to the final exit. This visual sequence helps occupants understand the required direction and maintain movement during an evacuation.

Emergency Exit Arrow Installation

  1. Confirm the required direction using the approved evacuation plan.
  2. Clean the installation surface to remove dust, oil, and moisture.
  3. Make sure the surface is dry and smooth.
  4. Remove the protective layer from the adhesive backing.
  5. Position the arrow and apply even pressure across its surface.
  6. Check that the arrow remains visible from the required viewing distance.

Correct installation supports adhesion, visibility, and consistent directional guidance throughout the building.

Why Choose a Photoluminescent Emergency Exit Arrow?

The arrow provides directional guidance without relying on electricity or batteries. It complements emergency exit signs and running man symbols by showing the correct direction at locations where an exit sign alone may not provide enough route information.

Its self-adhesive installation, indoor service life of up to 25 years, and ability to store ambient light make it suitable for offices, hotels, hospitals, commercial buildings, and other indoor facilities.

Does the Emergency Exit Arrow Require Electricity?

No. It absorbs ambient light and releases the stored light when the surrounding lighting level drops.

Does It Require a Battery?

No battery, charger, or electrical wiring is required.

Where Should the Arrow Be Installed?

It should be installed at corridor turns, intersections, stairwell entrances, and other points where occupants need clear direction toward an emergency exit.

How Long Does the Emergency Exit Arrow Last?

The product has an indoor service life of up to 25 years when installed and used according to the product instructions.

How Do I Select the Arrow Direction?

The direction should follow the approved evacuation plan. Straight and diagonal arrow options are available for different route layouts.
