PL signs from SafTGlo

Although best-known for its floorpath marking systems SafTGlo also produces a range of signs using the same high quality photoluminescent (pl) technology. They offer similar benefits of:

·       100% failsafe – “if it’s there, it works”. SafTGlo signs activate automatically and do not require ‘switch-on’

·       Non-powered – because they do not have to be connected to an electrical network, SafTGlo signs can be placed anywhere they can be seen.

·       Highly visible in the dark

·       Self-recharging and long duration illumination

·       No risk of failure due to poor maintenance – SafTGlo signs just need to be kept clean and visible. They do not require battery or bulb replacement

·       Long life with no performance degradation

·       Non-toxic and non-radioactive – SafTGlo signs offer no environmental hazard

·       Excellent value – with no operating costs, SafTGlo signs offer an economical solution to emergency signage

SafTGlo TR Exit sign : The photoluminescent (PL) technology at the heart of STG Aerospace’s multi award-winning SafTGlo floorpath marking strips is now being applied to unpowered cabin signage. SafTGlo TR signs (TR for Tritium Replacement) will significantly undercut the costs of radioactive Tritium signs and are certified across all commercial aircraft.

Over the life of an aircraft SafTGlo TR could save operators up to $4,000 per sign. STG’s PL sign has a lower initial purchase cost and, as a ‘fit for life’ solution eliminates the costs for testing, maintenance and replacement that a Tritium sign incurs. In addition, SafTGlo is inert while Tritium is a hazardous, radioactive material that is expensive to dispose of.

PL vs Tritium – the cost advantage

  SafTGlo TR delivers a through life saving of $3,970 making it 8 times cheaper than Tritium

The current ‘norm’ for unpowered signs, Tritium suffers a loss of luminosity over time, while STG’s patented photoluminescent technology will maintain its high performance for the life of the aircraft. SafTGlo TR signs are also approximately 85% lighter than equivalent Tritium signs. They are available in a variety of styles and sizes, are easy to install and, requiring no power source, can be re-located to match changing cabin configurations without losing any visibility.

 Originally developed as a progression sign for class dividers and bulkheads, SafTGlo TR has been awarded a generic STC certifying it for all progression signage on all commercial aircraft.

EASA approvals are secured to cover 65+ commercial aircraft including the Airbus A380, and STG Aerospace expects to add FAA approvals for these applications imminently.

SafTGlo Exit signs: We offer a range of exit and other emergency signs in many different languages. Contact us on +44 (0)1760723232 to discuss your specific requirements.

Non-electrical signs: our PL technology means that significant savings can be made by avoiding the need to replace bulbs. We have developed a no-smoking sign that is used by some airlines to replace the electrical versions and has resulted in significant savings.
