Exit For Emergency Use Only Hanging Photoluminescent Sign is suspended in corridors to give early, two-direction visibility of final escape doors. The running man and left arrow guide movement, while the wording restricts everyday use. Its high-performance glow ensures the sign remains visible for extended periods in low-light conditions.

Where Hanging Exit For Emergency Use Only Signs Provide The Greatest Clarity

Suspend from ceilings or mezzanines in corridors, open walkways and larger internal areas where wall signs may be overlooked. This format allows the message to be seen from both directions, helping occupants identify the final exit sooner and understand it is reserved for emergencies only.

At 150 x 300 mm, the 150 mm sign height gives a typical maximum viewing distance of around 22 metres in indoor conditions. Position centrally along the line of travel so the sign is recognised before reaching the exit decision point.
