Nite-Glo Fire Exit Running Man Left Hanging Signs help you show a clear left-hand escape direction across indoor corridors and open areas. Ceiling suspension and a double-sided photoluminescent face keep the route easier to identify when normal lighting is lost.
Nite-Glo Fire Exit Running Man Left Hanging Signs are double-sided, photoluminescent ceiling signs for indoor escape routes. They help staff, visitors and other occupants recognise a left-hand fire exit direction quickly, including when normal lighting is lost.
Where this hanging sign works best
You should suspend it above an indoor escape route where the left-hand exit direction needs to be seen from more than one approach. It is especially useful where wall-mounted signs can sit outside the natural line of sight. Keep both faces clear of doors, lighting and other overhead obstructions.
Choose the size for the sightline
Use the table as an indicative planning guide, not a certified product rating. Pick the size that remains clear from the longest approach and allow extra margin where mounting height, lighting or obstructions reduce visibility.
| Sign size | Indicative distance | Practical choice |
|---|---|---|
| H 150 x W 300 mm | Around 10 metres | Shorter clear approaches |
| H 150 x W 450 mm | Around 15 metres | Medium approaches |
| H 300 x W 600 mm | Around 20 metres | Longer approaches |
What should improve once it is in position?
Once correctly positioned, the sign gives people an overhead cue before they reach a decision point. The left-hand pictogram helps reduce last-second hesitation, while the double-sided face gives people approaching from either direction the same escape-route instruction.
✅ Earlier recognition of the left-hand route
✅ Less hesitation at indoor route decisions
✅ Better continuity if normal lighting is lost

Frequently asked questions
Are Nite-Glo Fire Exit Running Man Left Hanging Signs right for my escape route? Choose them when your confirmed escape route requires a left-hand emergency exit indication and an overhead, double-sided sign gives you a clearer sightline than a wall-mounted option.
Does the photoluminescent sign replace emergency lighting? No. You should treat it as part of your overall escape-route provision rather than as a replacement for emergency lighting. Its photoluminescent face must first receive sufficient normal light to recharge.
Which size should I choose? Base your choice on the longest clear approach to the sign. Use the viewing-distance guide above, then allow additional margin if mounting height or obstructions make the sign harder to see.
Can I install this sign outside? No. The supplied specification identifies it for indoor display only.
What does the E001 pictogram mean? E001 is the EN ISO 7010 reference for an emergency exit to the left, so you should only use this version where that direction matches the actual escape route.
How quickly does the Nite-Glo face recharge? The supplied specification states a recharge time of 5 minutes in normal lighting, with 6 hours or more of illumination.

Alternative left-direction fire exit signs
For a standard left-direction alternative, compare standard fire exit running man left signs. This gives you another format while keeping the same general route direction.
Where several exit doors need the same left-direction message, consider six-pack fire exit door man left signs. The pack format is worth comparing when you have repeated door positions to cover.
If people can follow the escape route in either direction, review the vandal-resistant double-direction fire exit sign. It provides a different directional message where a single left arrow would not reflect the route.
