What Are Tritium Self Luminous Exit Signs?
Tritium exit signs are completely non electrical. A short definition of tritium is an isotope of hydrogen. Tritium exit signs illuminate by the way of excited electrons inside sealed phosphor tubes. Tritium emits electrons through beta decay and when they interact with a phosphor materials, fluorescent light is created, This whole process is called radioluminescence. These exits signs are often called power free exit signs, non electrical exit signs, self luminous, nuclear or radioactive exit signs. They are perfect for locations where power is not accessible.

Since they are non electrical there is no ON or Off switch. When the ambient lighting in a building is On, you will not see the tritium illuminate, however the required contrast ratio of the stencil color RED, Green Or Black makes the exit sign visible from a minimum of 50 foot view distance. If the power has turned off the sign becomes very truly apparent.How Do You Dispose Of Tritium Exit Signs?
