Fire Equipment Signs

Glow In The Dark Fire Equipment Signs also known as photoluminescent fire equipment signs, are designed to identify the location of firefighting equipment even during power failures or low-light conditions. Manufactured using photoluminescent materials, these signs absorb ambient light and emit a visible glow when normal lighting is lost.

They are widely used in workplaces, schools, hospitals, warehouses, factories, offices and public buildings to improve the visibility of fire extinguishers, fire alarm call points, fire blankets, hose reels and other fire safety equipment. Installing glow in the dark fire equipment signs helps occupants and emergency responders quickly locate essential firefighting equipment during an emergency.

Rainbow Safety manufactures a wide range of UK-made Glow In The Dark Fire Equipment Signs in durable photoluminescent materials designed to meet the demands of commercial and industrial environments.
