Self-adhesive Please Turn Off Washroom Lights When Not In Use Sign for staff, visitors and washroom users in shared facilities. It gives a clear prompt that helps you reduce avoidable lighting use and support everyday energy-saving behaviour.
The Please Turn Off Washroom Lights When Not In Use Sign is a self-adhesive vinyl information sign for staff, visitors and washroom users. Use it on washroom doors or nearby walls to remind people to switch lights off after use, helping you cut avoidable energy waste.
Best places to display this washroom lights reminder
You should install this sign beside the washroom exit, on the inside of the door, or close to the light switch. These positions catch users at the point they leave, where the reminder is most likely to change behaviour.
Viewing distance guidance
For a washroom energy reminder, place the sign at normal eye level where it can be read before someone reaches the door or switch. The supplied size is best for close-range reading, typically within 1–3 metres.
| Supplied size | Practical viewing range | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| H 210 x W 297mm | Approx. 1–3 metres | Doors, walls, switch points and washroom exits |

Installation Guidance
Common placement slips

❌ Do not fit it too low, too high or beside unrelated washroom messages.
❌ Do not apply it to dusty, damp, greasy or flaking surfaces.
Where this sign is the wrong answer
❌ Do not use it as a substitute for faulty lighting controls.
❌ Do not rely on it where automatic sensors are required by your site policy.
❌ Do not treat it as a formal fire, hazard or mandatory safety sign.
Best fitting approach
✅ Clean and dry the surface before applying the self-adhesive backing.
✅ Position it close to the switch, exit route or inside face of the washroom door.
✅ Press firmly from the centre outwards to reduce lifting and trapped air.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Please Turn Off Washroom Lights When Not In Use Sign suitable for staff and public washrooms? Yes. It is written in plain language, so it works well where staff, visitors, contractors or customers may use the same facility.
Where should I fit it for the best result? Fit it where people leave the washroom or reach for the light switch. A sign placed too far from the exit is easier to ignore.
Does this sign use a safety pictogram? No. This is a text-only information sign, so it is best used as an energy-saving reminder rather than a hazard or mandatory safety instruction.
Can I use it on a washroom door? Yes, provided the surface is clean, smooth, dry and suitable for self-adhesive vinyl.
Is it a good choice if lights are often left on overnight? Yes. It gives a clear prompt at the point of exit, which helps you tackle repeated forgetfulness without needing a verbal reminder.

Choose related washroom saving reminders
For lighting outside washrooms, use a general lights off reminder sign in offices, corridors or shared rooms. It gives you a wider message for everyday switch-off habits.
Where staff also need to switch off equipment, add an appliance switch off reminder near common devices. This is useful when energy loss comes from more than lighting.
For basins and wash areas, include a please turn off taps sign beside the point of use. It reinforces careful water use in the same practical style.
To complete the layout, compare energy saving reminder signs for different rooms and behaviours. It helps you choose clear prompts without repeating the same wording everywhere.
