Photoluminescent

Photoluminescent is also known as glow-in-the-dark. Photoluminescent technology has been used for years for applications such as watches, children’s books, and exit signs. Photoluminescent technology is popular because of its non-electrical illumination capability.

Photoluminescence is a process where light, or photons, are absorbed and then re-emitted. In relation to quantum mechanics, this process is described as a changing level of energy states. Photons reach a higher energy state and then return to a lower energy state. This change in energy state results in the emission of a light and is known as photoexcitation. The time between the absorption and emission is very short, about 10 nanoseconds.

Greentorch is an industry leader in all photoluminescent applications. If you are looking for a photoluminescent exit sign we offer multiple models with the longest viewing distances in the industry. For dark stairways, we offer photoluminescent stair nosing that uses our glow-in-the-dark pigment on top of sturdy die-cast aluminum and attaches easily to stairs for retrofit and new construction applications. If you have the desire to make something glow, we can help you do that with our photoluminescent paint.

Greentorch photoluminescent exit signs are a popular alternative to electrical exit signs because they minimize short term and long-term costs. Construction costs can be reduced because photoluminescent exit signs do not require conduit to be run throughout the building. Long-term energy and maintenance costs are minimized because photoluminescent exit signs do not require any outside power source and have a lifespan of 25 years. Greentorch photoluminescent exit signs are UL Listed and approved for use throughout the United States and Canada. Photoluminescent exit signs are popular for retrofit applications where the cost of hiring an electrician can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Greentorch photoluminescent exit signs come with all necessary installation hardware and instructions. Many of our photoluminescent exit signs are offered with multiple face and frame color options. Our Blade series is the most eco-friendly exit sign available, featuring 99% recycled aluminum construction.
