Everlux's L0602 self-illuminated, lightweight plastic sign clearly indicates the location of an automated external defibrillator (AED). Used in schools, hospitals, assisted living facilities, and gyms, AEDs can save victims of cardiac arrest and AED sign can help users locate them quickly.
This sign is coated with a photoluminescent pigment and measures at nearly 8in. x 8in. (200 mm x 200 mm) on each of two sides. Each white photoluminescent sign does not require electricity.
Manufactured by Everlux, a world-renowned maker of safety signage, this glow-in-the-dark exit sign features a photoluminescent body, clear symbols, and high-contrast text. The pigment provides 90 minutes' illumination after sufficient exposure to light in accordance with ASTM-E2073, ASTM International's testing standard for photoluminescent markings.
How does this sign work?
This white-and-green AED sign glows after sufficient exposure to light. Note, however, that the reliable light source required by life safety codes typically can't be natural lighting. Photoluminescent signs need illumination from an external charging light to glow in accordance with their standards or listings.
This sign will provide a minimum of 5.5 millicandelas per square meter when charged. Each sign can fully charge in 60 minutes when provided with a light source delivering:
- 11 lux (or 1 footcandle) of light
- A cool white source color (4000K)
These required levels of light may be provided by fluorescent and LED lights with a cool white color temperature. These lights are bright and typically reserved for indoor walkways and workspaces. Other types of lighting,¬ùeven very bright incandescent (traditional) bulbs or neon signs,¬ùshouldn't be used as external charging lights.
