What is Photoluminescence?
Photoluminescence (definition): Having the property of emitting light that continues for a length of time after excitation by visible or invisible light has been removed.
2018 IBC Chapter 2
Photoluminescence is the ability to absorb ambient light and be readily visible when it’s pitch dark. The layman’s term for this quality is called “glow-in-the-dark.” Photoluminescent is the term generally assigned to professional-level, code-compliant “glow” products.
Why Choose PERMALIGHT® Photoluminescent Egress Path Marking Products?
Our PERMALIGHT® Photoluminescent Egress Path Marking System products are made with professional-grade pigments that absorb ambient light and emit their high-performance glow in the dark.
After proper activation, PERMALIGHT® Egress Path Marking System products glow brightly for 90-minutes (which is the code-required length of time), and their luminance then slowly declines for hours – even days – until they are properly recharged again by ambient lighting. This provides visibility and guidance to exit safely in an emergency where there is a potential blackout or ceiling lighting is obscured by smoke from a fire.
There are many reasons to choose PERMALIGHT® Photoluminescent Egress Path Marking System products for your projects. Once you have earned the status of PERMALIGHT® Certified Installer Partner, you unlock numerous features and benefits, which include Preferred Pricing on PERMALIGHT® products.
