PRODUCT OVERVIEW:
The BLADE Series is a prime eco-friendly option for exit signs; constructed from 99% aluminum and completely non-electrical, the BLADE Series can be fully recycled at the end of its 25-year lifespan. The BLADE Series utilizes non-electrical photoluminescent or glow-in-the-dark technology, which illuminates the word EXIT with a surrounding face color choice of red, green, or black. The BLADE Series has a UL Listed 50 foot viewing distance. The BLADE Series is a great choice for new construction LEED projects and existing buildings that working toward LEED certification or need exit signs installed where there currently is no electricity. The cost to run electrical conduit is expensive, and the BLADE avoids this hassle while insuring fire and building code compliance. The BLADE eliminates the dependence on electricity for saftey signage. The BLADE comes standard with a black aluminum frame or flush mount low profile brushed aluminum frame. Installs in minutes with the surface mount hardware kit (included). Overall, the BLADE’s aluminum construction and non-electrical photoluminescent technology make it a superior exit sign choice for both high and low level applications.
