LUNAPLASTTM PHOTOLUMINESCENT SIGNAGELife Safety Innovations
Save livesReduce costsMeet and exceed standards
HIGHLY EFFECTIVE NEW SAFETY SIGNAGE TECHNOLOGYPhotoluminescent (glow in the dark) material is one of the most important recent
innovations in the life safety industry. Photoluminescent signs and way finding products
are a low cost, easy to maintain and highly effective part of modern life-safety plans in
buildings of all types, airplanes, trains and on passenger ships,
Stable and non-toxic, with low maintenance and a long service-life, ARA Safety’s
photoluminescent products are safe, effective and economical.
PROVEN APPLICATION Lunaplast™ introduced photoluminescent signage to the world in 1996. Since then,
photoluminescence has become a requirement for safety signage in passenger ships,
aircraft and tall buildings across North America.
Many building codes now mandate the use of photoluminescent signage. In New
York City, Local Law 26 requires that photoluminescent signage be provided on egress
routes and in many other locations where information must be displayed clearly
when electrical power fails. Lunaplast™ provides the highest quality photoluminescent
signage in the industry.
Current Lunaplast™ photoluminescent installations include:
The Pentagon, wedges 2-5
Old Executive Office building
International Monetary Fund building
International Space Station (NASA)
Various US Army, Navy and Coast Guard units
Los Alamos National Library

Save livesIn the face of recent emergencies, researchers have learned that people need continuous information throughout their egress route. The WTC Commission determined that only photoluminescent signage can provide effective guidance when all sources of electrical power (including batteries and generators) fail.
Lunaplast™ photoluminescent egress signage is always visible, even in complete darkness, providing emergency information on hazards and exit direction — and saving lives.
Reduce costsEvery public building in North America is required to mark its exit doors with illuminated exit signs. Lit with incandescent bulbs that require replacement every few months, these unreliable signs consume 30 billion kW/hours of electricity per year, at a cost of over $2.8 billion.
Replacing electric signage with Lunaplast™ photoluminescent signage ensures uninterrupted performance, low maintenance and huge energy cost savings.
TESTED AND CERTIFIED TO MEET INTERNATIONAL CODESRegulators in North America now embrace photoluminescent signs as a preferred alternative to electrical signage. Code organizations such as NFPA Life Safety Code 101, Underwriters Laboratory Inc UL924, and EPA Energy Star recognize and allow Lunaplast™ photoluminescent signage to replace electrical exit signs.
Lunaplast™ signage meets or exceeds the following national and international specifications and codes:
RS 6-1 & RS 6-1A – New York City Building Codes, 2005DIN 67510-1 – European photoluminescent specISO/CD 15370 – PL spec for passenger shipsMIL-L-3891B – US military spec (inactive)ASTM E 2072-00 – Main worldwide photoluminescent specAPTA SS-PS-004-99 – Passenger rail specJIS Z 9100 – Japanese government PL spec
