Data Sheet

Cornell’s newly released ARA Signs utilize photoluminescent technology. Photoluminescent materials absorb and store
energy from normal ambient light and are designed to glow in total darkness; it then releases this energy in the form of
light during an emergency. Reliability has been an inherent problem with conventional emergency exit signs due to
maintenance issues and bulb failure. The big advantage of Cornell’s ARA signs is that there are no internal lights to burn
out making it almost 100% reliable and virtually maintenance free.
Since Cornell’s photoluminescent ARA Signs are NON-ELECTRIC, our signs can be installed in almost any location,
high and low, not worrying about expensive electrical installations. Simply follow local building and fire codes for location
requirements, check to see that there is 54 LUX of fluorescent light on the sign face at all times during building
occupancy, and then hang your Cornell photoluminescent ARA Sign.
Cornell’s photoluminescent ARA Signs are in compliance to NFPA Life Safety Code 101 and all national building codes,
ICBO, IBC, BOCA, SBCCI, NFPA 5000.

The brighter the ambient light intensity (lux) of fluorescent light on the sign face, the shorter the amount of time it takes to charge the exit sign. The current UL 924 Standard
requires that there be 54 lux of fluorescent light on the sign face at all times during building occupancy.
