But probably the most picturesque – Bayview Wharf, Queenstown, New Zealand

Photoluminescent Egress Path Markings are required in many jurisdictions that reference the International Fire Code or NFPA 101 Life Safety Code.

Ecoglo’s Egress Paths Markings technical manual includes everything required to specify, install and operate a compliant path marking system. The system includes marking of step edges, handrails and pathways.

It’s great to announce UAE Civil Defence approval for Ecoglo’s full range of UL 924 passive photoluminescent exit signs.

The signs are produced in New Zealand using Ecoglo’s HTC manufacturing system so they are warranted for 30 years of indoor use and can replace traditional battery back-up exit signs. By doing away with battery failures you are saving the planet and saving the budget!

Ecoglo has launched a series of technical manuals that include everything required to specify, install and operate an Ecoglo Photoluminescent system.

The Fire Protection Signs manual covers photoluminescent signage used to identify fire protection equipment such as fire extinguishers, fire hoses and fire alarms.

There has been progress in getting an Australian Standard for Photoluminescent Exit Signs with the release of a draft standard for public comment.

You can learn more about AS 5358.1 by downloading a media release from here: https://ecoglo.com.au/pl-exit-signs-draft-standard/

As many have reported there has been a lot of vigorous opposition from competing industry players so it’s important that you have your say.

It can be as simple as writing “I support the draft as written”. Login to the Standards Australia website here: https://comment.standards.org.au/Account/Login?ReturnUrl=%2Fhttp://

Great job from the Ecoglo Philippines installation team!

466 fire protection signs installed in record time at De La Salle University Laguna Campus.

This is the first installation using some of the new range of Fire Extinguisher, Fire Alarm, Fire Hose and directional signs.

All of the signs are S5 grade (easily exceeding PSPA Class D) and manufactured using Ecoglo’s unique High Temperature Curing manufacturing process.

Photoluminescent or luminous products are manufactured with a variety of processes with a variety of outcomes that impact on durability and performance.

Take a look at this recent article to get an understanding of how photoluminescent products are made and what HTC can deliver.

We often come across facility managers who are continually frustrated about how long exit signs last when they’ve read headline claims of 50,000 and even 100,000 hours!

This Tech piece gives a good explanation of how those claims are contrived and what the figures really mean.

During lockdown I completed the final report reviewing our 2 year, $450,000 research project which will redefine exit sign durability.

The project was partially funded by Callaghan Innovation and looked at innovative ways to simplify the electronic driver system of the exit sign.

Having already replaced the battery and battery charging systems (with Ecoglo’s photoluminescent energy storage panel) the driver system seemed like the next place to look for efficiency and durability gains.

The feedback from facility mangers has been phenomenal. The 0.5W power consumption combined with extended product life offer both sustainability benefits and cost savings – a great combination!
