Photoluminescent Emergency Exit Down Sign – 200 × 100 mm

The Photoluminescent Emergency Exit Down Sign is designed to guide occupants and visitors during an evacuation by identifying a downward direction or an exit located directly below the sign.

Its photoluminescent material absorbs energy from natural or artificial lighting during normal building operation. During a power failure or in reduced visibility, it gradually releases the stored energy as visible light, allowing the pictogram to be identified in darkness.

Manufactured from 2 mm rigid PVC, it provides a durable and self-extinguishing construction. High-quality digital printing with UV-resistant inks helps preserve the colours and legibility.

The sign requires no batteries, wiring or electrical connection and is suitable for complementing emergency lighting along indoor escape routes.

• Industrial facilities
• Indoor garages
• Public buildings
• Communal areas

Installation

The sign must be installed in a clearly visible position with the arrow correctly pointing downwards.

It may be secured to a flat surface using screws, mounting tape or another suitable fixing system. Fixing accessories are not included unless expressly stated otherwise.

To maintain its photoluminescent performance, the sign must receive sufficient natural or artificial light during normal operation of the premises.

Direction note

The downward-pointing arrow may identify an exit located immediately below the sign or a downward direction defined in the building’s safety plan.

Where the escape route involves descending stairs to the left or right, the specific “Down left” or “Down right” sign should be used.

Important note

Before installation, confirm that the downward direction corresponds to the designated escape route. The sign must not be inverted or used to indicate a different direction.

The position, height, dimensions and number of signs must comply with the building’s fire-safety plan and applicable regulations. Photoluminescent signage complements but does not replace mandatory emergency lighting.
