Q. & A. • Q. Why use PLM Exit Signs? • Safety, Energy Conservation, Green, Financial Savings • Q. Are these Exit Signs allowed to be used? • YES, our Exit Signs are compliant with all North American building codes. • Q. How much money can be saved by using these Exit Signs? • Dependant upon number of signs… See Scenario’s. and the Willis Classroom for more details Willis ~ the name you have trusted since 1967 www.4willis.com
Q. & A. • Q. We looked at this technology years ago, are these signs toxic? • The Exit Signs and the entire product line is 100% NON-TOXIC. • Q. What about Installation • The Exit Signs are easy to install, whether in a new building or retrofit scenario. The beauty of new construction, is that you do not require wiring ,conduit or independent breakers to the location of Exit Signs. • Q. What are the lighting requirements?? • 54 lux (5 foot candles) of ambient light is required on the face of the Exit Sign while the building is occupied Willis ~ the name you have trusted since 1967 www.4willis.com
Q. & A. • Q. What about our current Emergency Back Up Lights? • Keep these in place, as they add to your Safety. • however the Exit Signs will glow in the event of a fire or blackout and are not dependent on a power source. • Q. What are Low Level Exit Signs? • As building and fire codes continue to improve new legislation is on the table to have low level signage (LLS) mandatory in buildings, the reasoning behind this is smoke rises and could obscure the traditional signage. Having the additional LLS will only improve the means of egress. Willis ~ the name you have trusted since 1967 www.4willis.com
Q. & A. • Q. Are these materials the same as the “glow in the dark” we’ve seen in the past? • No! Past materials were zinc sulphide and in some cases were toxic and even radioactive with a very short “glow” duration. Our proprietary formula can glow for hours upon hours. • Q. Are their disposal issue with these signs? • No..PLM Exit Signs are the only technology where disposal is not a concern. Other Exit Signs have electronic components or compact fluorescent bulbs (containing mercury).
