Custom Photoluminescent Signs

Custom Photoluminescent Signs provide enhanced visibility during power failures, low-light conditions and emergency situations. Also known as glow in the dark signs, luminous safety signs or custom photoluminescent signage, they absorb ambient light and continue to glow when normal lighting is unavailable.

Used by factories, warehouses, offices, schools, hospitals, hotels, construction sites and public buildings, these signs help communicate critical safety information when visibility is reduced.

Common installation locations include escape routes, fire exits, stairwells, corridors, emergency equipment locations, plant rooms and workplace safety systems.

Manufactured in the UK and customised with your own wording, symbols and designs, Rainbow Safety custom photoluminescent signs combine bespoke messaging with reliable emergency visibility.
