How Photoluminescence Lights Help Your Commercial Property During an Emergency
Photoluminescence lighting can figuratively and literally serve as a light for flights of stairs and hallways during an emergency.
Installing photoluminescence lighting is important for commercial properties, especially during emergency evacuations when a building loses power. Photoluminescence lighting can figuratively and literally serve as a light for flights of stairs and hallways to help guide everyone to the nearest exits to safely leave the building. While the idea of burning inside a building on fire is downright terrifying, the statistics speak volumes: those inside a building fire are much more likely to die from smoke than from the fire. As smoke engulfs a building and spreads fast, photoluminescence lighting is able to help provide building occupants with a dependable guide to allow people to escape. Read on to learn more about them!
Photoluminescence Lights Don’t Require Power
During emergency evacuations, a fire can cause a commercial building to lose power or even shut down due to safety measures. Backup lighting can be rendered unusable due to power loss, and in these types of examples, billowing smoke can start to cloud up the hallways, causing them to look pitch dark. This can disorientate those inside a building as they look for a way out. Since photoluminescence lighting doesn’t need a power source, it serves as an emergency guide to help provide all building occupants with a lit path to the safe exits.
Light Glowing for 48 Hours
Photoluminescent lighting is able to glow for up to 48 hours inside of a black, smoky building. This helps firefighters and first responders navigate through your commercial property where a fire has happened after every building occupant has left safely. Since photoluminescence light does not require a power source, you can rely on it to work regardless of whether your commercial building has power or not.
No Maintenance Required for Photoluminescence Lighting
One of the top perks of photoluminescence lighting is that it doesn’t need maintenance after it has been installed. As a commercial building owner, this means you won’t have to worry about providing consistent maintenance work for them. Instead, you can focus on making sure your facility remains updated with state regulations and standards for all other fire safety systems.
