Luma Exit vs Traditional Signs

  • Minimal maintenance required

    LumaExit's simple design allows components to be replaced individually without an electrician.

  • Minimal points of failure

    Traditional exit signs have multiple points of failure – lamp, control gear {eg, ballast or driver}, inverter, battery. LumaExit PL Exit signs with brackets have far fewer – LED Lamp & LED Driver – both of these components being ultra reliable.

  • Simplified fire safety inspections

    PL signs do not contain batteries and therefore do not require time consuming discharge or power supply disruption tests. In addition, they are not fluoresecent and do not require tube checking.


     In the case of a LumaExit PL sign kit a simple visual inspection that the bracket light is on and the sign is clean is all that is required under AS2293.2.


  • Huge savings on replacement costs

    The biggest costs associated with exit signs is the 6 monthly testing as well as the replacement of failed equipment.  The failure rate associated with battery backed up exit sign systems is significant, with most equipment not lasting 3 years due to Back Up Battery failure.  


    LumaExit PL Exit Signs technology substitute the function performed by the battery, by instead having the photoluminescent sign face.  In an emergency situation when the power goes off, traditional exit signs rely on a battery taking over and power the exit sign to make it glow.  In the case of a PL Sign, the sign simply glows due to the PL technology.

  • No battery discharge tests

    No battery means no battery discharge test as part of 6 monthly fire safety compliance procedures as per AS2293. 

  • No additional circuits required

    LumaExit PL signs only need power circuit, not an expensive additional emergency lighting circuit to be operational and compliant.



Sign Cost
Traditional Fluoro 10W tube = 16W-20W power used $30.00-$35.00 P.A. 1
LED Exit sign = 3-4W power used $6.50-$8.70 P.A. 1
PL Sign = 0-2W power used $0.00-$8.70 P.A. (usually $3.40) 1, 2
1 based on $0.25 tariff. All figures approximate
2 usually 2W power used with LumaExit PL sign kit, can be 0W-4W

Better signs for the planet

LumaExit PL Exit Signs are a superior alternative to traditional exit signs that are acceptable under the BCA and Australia Standards.

LumaExit signs require no Lithium Battery Back Up, which ensures less Lithium Batteries being dumped into landfill. When traditional exit signs fail, and are simply removed and thrown in the rubbish. 

Traditional battery backed up exit signs, are also made of plastics and acrylics, which as we know, don’t break down when dumped into landfill upon failing.
LumaExit PL Exit Signs and brackets are made from steel and aluminium, and in the unlikely event of ever ending up in landfill, will corrode and break down.

Luma Exit PL Exit Signs with LED Bracket are up to 90% more energy efficient than a fluorescent Exit Sign and 40% more efficient than an LED Exit Sign, saving you power and therefore money.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do photoluminescent signs work?

    Photoluminescence is the process of absorption of ultra violet energy from surrounding light sources, which is then stored as energy {like a battery does, however, without the need for environmentally damaging batteries} and when required it releases the stored energy in the form of visible light. The signs contain material with this property and are tested to ensure that with minimal surrounding lighting they can perform the same role that traditional exit signs perform as demanded by the BCA and Australian standards.

  • Are extra lights or systems required?

    Additional lighting may be required, however it isn’t always required. The cost of additional lighting to install and operate is FAR LESS than the replacement cost of a traditional exit sign.


  • Is my building eligible?

    All buildings that contain emergency exit signs are eligible, however, depending upon the type of emergency lighting system in place, this will determine the specific requirements. In most cases, a straight 1-for-1 replacement is all that is required.


  • Where can I replace signs?

    Virtually anywhere! Final installation requirements depend upon the particular design of the emergency system in that area. Hallways, corridors, fire stairs, car parks, common areas, shopping centres are examples of some areas that can all benefit from this industry changing upgrade.
