Nite-Glo Fire Alarm Signs
Nite-Glo Fire Alarm Signs identify manual call points using the F005 fire alarm pictogram, red fire safety colour and glow-in-the-dark film. They help you guide staff, visitors and contractors in corridors, stairwells, reception areas and shared workspaces when normal lighting fails.
Best Places to Fit Nite-Glo Fire Alarm Signs
You should install this sign directly above or beside each manual call point, especially on corridor walls, final-exit routes, stair landings and shared access areas. Keeping the sign close to the alarm removes doubt, so people can find the activation point quickly in poor light or smoke.
Viewing Distance Guidance for Fire Alarm Identification
Use the 150 x 150mm size where people approach the alarm at close range, typically within 3–5 metres. For longer corridors, place repeat signs at decision points rather than relying on one distant sign; glow performance helps most when the sign is charged by normal lighting.
| Size option | Practical viewing range | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| H 150 x W 150mm | Approx. 3–5 metres | Beside or above manual call points |
What Improves Once the Alarm Point Is Clearly Signed
After installation, the alarm point becomes easier to spot before and during an emergency. You reduce hesitation, help new visitors understand what to press and give staff a clearer visual cue when lighting drops, smoke builds or a busy corridor becomes confusing.

Fitting Advice That Helps the Fire Alarm Sign Work Properly
❌ Do not mount it away from the actual call point.
❌ Do not place it behind doors, coat racks or shelving.
❌ Do not rely on one sign for a long corridor with bends.
❌ Do not use it as a substitute for a working alarm system.
❌ Do not fit it where no regular light source can charge the film.
❌ Do not use it to identify extinguishers or fire action instructions.
✅ Fit at eye-catching height beside or above the call point.
✅ Keep the face clean so the glow surface can charge properly.
✅ Repeat signage at corridor turns where the alarm is not obvious.
Nite-Glo Fire Alarm Signs questions answered
What are Nite-Glo Fire Alarm Signs used for? They show you exactly where a manual fire alarm call point is located, using a glow-in-the-dark finish to support recognition if normal lighting is reduced.
Should the sign go above or beside the call point? Fit it as close as practical to the call point, normally directly above or alongside it, so the message and alarm position are understood together.
Is this the right choice for corridors with low light? Yes, provided the sign can charge from normal lighting before use. It is especially useful in corridors, stairwells, exits and back-of-house routes.
Does the pictogram matter for compliance? Yes. The F005 fire alarm call point pictogram helps create consistent fire safety identification and supports EN ISO 7010-style recognition.
When should I choose rigid plastic instead of polyester? Choose rigid plastic where you need a more durable wall-mounted sign. Choose polyester for smoother surfaces where a self-adhesive fixing is more practical.
