Photoluminescent signs illuminate in the dark through a process called photoluminescence. The signs are made from a special material that absorbs natural or ambient light and stores it. When there is sudden darkness, such as during an emergency or power outage, the signs release this stored light, allowing them to glow brightly and provide essential messages and wayfinding.

Unlike traditional emergency signage, photoluminescent signs cannot be turned on or off. Their light becomes visible once surrounded by darkness, and their glow gradually fades over time. Depending on the grade of photoluminescent material used, these signs glow for different periods of time, with high-brightness signs glowing in the dark all night long and low-brightness signs typically glowing for an average of 120 minutes from the moment the light source is turned off. Once an external light source is reintroduced, they recharge and begin glowing again.
 

Photoluminescent signs are known for their longevity and low maintenance. Made from hard-wearing materials, they require little to no maintenance and can last up to 15 years. Their durability and reliability make them a cost-effective choice compared to traditional signs that may be prone to electrical failure and require frequent replacements or repairs.

Absolutely! At YEMING, we offer customisation options for photoluminescent signs to suit your specific business needs. You can add details such as emergency contact numbers, specific escape routes, company logos, or any other site-specific information. This personalisation enhances safety communication and ensures that the signs align with your organisation's branding and requirements.
