Fire Alarm Call Point Photoluminescent Signs
Photoluminescent Fire Alarm Call Point Signs show you exactly where to raise the alarm during an emergency, even if lighting drops. They help staff, visitors and contractors identify call points quickly in corridors, stairwells, receptions and fire escape routes.
Where Photoluminescent Fire Alarm Call Point Signs Should Be Installed
You should install this sign directly above or beside manual call points where people naturally look during evacuation. It suits corridors, stairwells, exits, receptions and shared workspaces where fast recognition matters if lights fail or smoke reduces visibility.
Viewing Distance Guidance for Call Point Visibility
Use this compact sign close to the alarm point rather than as long-range directional guidance. For larger rooms or longer corridors, place repeat signs at decision points so people can find the call point without walking past it.
| Size option | Practical viewing use | Best placement |
|---|---|---|
| H 100 x W 100mm | Close-range recognition up to around 3–5 metres | Above or beside the call point |
What Should Improve Once This Fire Alarm Sign Is Fitted
Once fitted correctly, this sign helps people act sooner instead of searching walls or hesitating in poor light. The outcome is quicker alarm activation, clearer fire equipment recognition and less confusion for anyone unfamiliar with your building layout.
