The use of glow in the dark tape as the main material for exit signs is an efficient addition to the evacuation industry especially in emergency situations.  As a matter of fact, there are now states in America which require safety guidance systems using photo luminescent technology.

Right now, glow in the dark signs are not only used in buildings but in planes and ships as well. The main reason why evacuation products become popular is that they do not fail. They are used not only as the primary system but also to back up to electrical systems which are already in place.

In investigations of fire tragedies, they have reported that victims were just a feet away from the exit doors. However, investigators hunched that fire exits were not properly marked or simply, the evacuation failed. With these results, glow in the dark signs are great alternatives to prevent this kind of situations in the future.
