Fire Exit Emergency Use Only Photoluminescent Sign identifies a final escape door that must not be used for routine access. The down arrow and running man show the exit is directly here, while the glow film helps the message stay visible in low light or power-loss conditions indoors.

Where Fire Exit Emergency Use Only Glow Signs Should Be Fitted

Fit this sign on, or immediately above, final fire exit doors used only during evacuation. It suits internal doors where people need instant confirmation that the exit is here and reserved for emergencies rather than day-to-day movement.

At 150 x 450 mm, the 150 mm sign height gives a viewing distance of about 22 metres in suitable escape-route conditions. Use it in indoor corridors, approach routes and door positions where the message must be recognised before the user reaches the exit.

What This Final Exit Glow Sign Helps Improve

Once fitted, this sign helps stop casual misuse of emergency exits, keeps final escape doors easier to identify and improves recognition in reduced-light conditions where a standard non-glow sign may be harder to pick out quickly.
