The Photoluminescent Lighting Council (PLC) has released its next draft standard for public comment.

The PLC was formed in October 2015 to advance the use of photoluminescent (PL) technology in exit sign and emergency visibility solutions.

The PLC is currently working on a standard for “PRODUCT SPECIFICATION OF PHOTOLUMINESCENT EXIT SIGNS”.

As building codes are modified to recognise PL exit signs we need to ensure that the initiative doesn’t get bogged down with standards that are full of outdated electrical lighting terminology and procedures.

For a full rundown of the PLC objectives take a look at:

If you want to be kept up-to-date with the development of standards you can join the PLC through the Members’ page on the website or send your input to info@plcouncil.com.au

We’re starting to see quite a few “Ecoglo Equivalent” products being promoted especially in Australia. Usually their promotional literature has a bit of cut and paste from Ecoglo’s website to back up the Equivalent’s performance 🙂

Take a look at one Ecoglo Equivalent sample that we were sent by a distributor.

Ecoglo is on the left and the “Ecoglo Equivalent” on the right. Top photo shows both products charging, middle photo is one minute after lights off and the bottom photo after only 7 minutes of darkness.

Maybe an Independent Test Report would be useful!
