ECOGLO INNOVATIONS for IAVM VenueConnect 2022

Ecoglo will be exhibiting at IAVM Venue Connect in Phoenix next week.

We will be discussing a number of innovations leading with our Hybrid LED Exit Sign, the next generation internally illuminated exit sign with innovative electronics and superior energy storage technology.

Ecoglo has been innovating with products and services to aid emergency egress for over 25 years and we want to develop the best possible exit sign product to make it easier for facility managers to keep their buildings safe so please come and tell us what you think.

The Hybrid LED Exit Sign has been designed to assist facility managers to stay within ever tightening opex budgets by reducing whole of life costs and improving generator systems’ reliability. The superior backup technology and innovative electronics have reduced the electronic complexity and therefore lengthened the expected product life by a factor of 10.

You can preview the Hybrid here: ecogloexitsigns.com

WHERE: Booth 333, Phoenix Convention Center
WHEN: Tuesday 19 July until Wednesday 20 July

DECLARE STATUS FOR ECOGLO

Ecoglo Step Nosings have now received their Red List Free Declare Status.
Take a look:
https://declare.living-future.org/products/ecoglo-step-nosings

Declare is a “nutrition label” for building products. It is designed to help architects and engineers to quickly identify products that meet their project requirements. Declare labels disclose all intentionally-added ingredients and residuals at or above 100ppm (0.01%).

The Declare label demonstrates alignment with other requirements within the Living Building Challenge and Core Green Building Certification, as well as LEED and WELL certifications.

Well done to Delwyn and the rest of the Ecoglo team involved in this project, I know it’s been a massive amount of work to gather all of the required details.

More about Declare at a later date!

Self-charging Hybrid LED Exit Signs at VMA CONGRESS

We’ll be showing our next generation Self-charging Hybrid LED Exit Sign at the VMA Asia-Pacific Venue Industry Congress. The show is being held in Sydney at the ICC Sydney from 30 May until 1 June.

Ecoglo will be at stand 16 so come and have a chat with Chelsey & Mike about this game changing product.
You can download product details from:
https://ecoglo.com.au/wp-content/uploads/AUS-PDS-HYBRID-SIGN-HYUX.2.V21.1F.pdf

We will also be discussing SA TS 5367:2021 published by Standards Australia. The new Technical Specification is designed to sit alongside the NCC documentation as an alternative deemed-to-satisfy solution, and to provide industry practitioners with an objective, detailed toolkit for achieving best practice.
The 25-page SA TS 5367:2021 relates only to Hybrid PL Exit Signage, i.e. PL signs fitted with their own adjacent LED luminaires to keep panels ‘charged’.

HYBRID EXIT SIGN DURABILITY – THE EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE

Ecoglo’s Hybrid Self-charging LED Exit Sign, with its superior backup technology and innovative electronics, is designed to last.
The theoretical calculations of FIT’s (Failures In Time per 1,000,000,000 hours) show that the Ecoglo exit sign is around 300 FIT with “best in class” battery backup competitors ranging from 2,000 FIT to 3,200 FIT.
That’s the theory but what about the practical?
We have had 74 units running in a test facility, at rated voltage with normal supply spikes and no temperature control, since December 2018. That’s equivalent run time of over 2 million hours or 241 years!
How many failures have we had? ZERO!
The stats gurus tell me that if we had 1 unit fail tomorrow then the FIT calculation would be 473 which is starting to get very close to that theoretical 300.
That’s why facility managers love Ecoglo’s hybrid!

BIGGER BOXES!



It’s certainly one way to overcome unreliable freight – just send bigger boxes!
It took a mighty effort from Phil & his team in the factory but it was great to see our first 40 foot container out the door as we push to grow our inventories closer to offshore markets

FAILSAFE Ecoglo F15-175 Step Nosing

Spotted the use of Ecoglo’s new F15-175 step nosing at the local arts centre (on the way to a weekend movie).

The F15 is a great combination of anti-slip, step edge contrast in the daytime then high visibility all through the night. All manufactured with Ecoglo’s HTC process for maximum outdoor durability.

Btw “RESPECT” was a great movie, Jennifer Hudson plays the role of Aretha Franklin, well worth a look!

SIMPLICITY IS THE WORD

Simplicity sums up Ecoglo’s next generation Hybrid Photoluminescent Exit Sign.

It’s not just the simplicity of the innovative and simple electronics or the simplicity of no batteries. It’s also the simplicity of the inspection and testing requirements for the hybrid.

Look out for the Ecoglo testing QR code or take a look at the testing video on YouTube:

Economically feasible, environmentally friendly, socially responsible
