Photoluminescent Guidance Strips

Make sure every exit path is clearly visible, even when lights fail, using Luminescent Guidance Strips. Engineered for perimeter demarcation and guidance in egress pathways, these photoluminescent strips are designed to outline walls, floors, or obstacles so building occupants can follow safe, continuous paths to exits—without relying on electricity. Reliable, rugged, and code-compliant, these guidance strips are essential for emergency safety and wayfinding in all lighting conditions.

Key Features & Benefits of Photoluminescent Guidance Strips

  • Continuous Perimeter Visibility
    The strips form solid, unbroken lines around the perimeter of exit passageways (floor or wall mounted), marking boundaries and guiding occupants through egress routes during power outage or smoke conditions.
  • Rapid & Long-lasting Glow
    The photoluminescent material charges from natural or artificial light in just a few minutes, then provides bright illumination for hours with no power source needed.
  • Code & Safety Compliance
    UL 1994 listed in many cases; these strips meet life-safety, building, and fire code requirements in North America and beyond.
  • Tough Construction
    Made with rigid bases (vinyl or aluminum depending on model), strong adhesives or foam tape backing, and designed to endure heavy foot traffic, moisture, UV exposure, and long-term wear. Many include ridge-textures to guard against abrasion.
  • Flexible Installation Options
    Available in multiple widths, lengths, and substrate compatibility. Can be cut to length. Mounting options include wall-mounted or floor-mounted, using polyurethane adhesives or proprietary foam/adhesive backing. 
  • Environmentally Friendly / Low Maintenance
    No electricity required; non-toxic, non-radioactive materials. Strips qualify for LEED points in some jurisdictions. Minimal upkeep needed beyond ensuring they remain clean and exposed to light to recharge. 

Use-Cases & Applications for Glow In the Dark Perimeter Markings

  • Outlining the edges of corridors, exit passageways, stairwells, ramps, or escape routes in buildings such as hospitals, schools, transit hubs, high-rises, theatres, and public venues.
  • Marking obstructions on walls or floors as part of a building’s wayfinding and safety signage strategy.
  • New construction or retrofits where building codes require luminous path markings.
  • Indoor or outdoor spaces needing durable, visible guidance in emergencies.
