Using Neolite to Increase Safety

• Evacuation of a building in darkness or smoke is always difficult and hazardous. Most people become disoriented when power failure occurs. Even in daytime, emergencies can cause blackout conditions in buildings having rooms and corridors without windows. As speed of escape is reduced, the probability of panic, accidents, injuries and loss of life increases. Panic behavior is contagious which increases danger.

• A Neolite escape system provides visible direction to occupants for the purpose of safe evacuation and prevention of panic should power fail and emergency lighting not work, or become obscured by smoke. A Neolite escape system makes essential objects visible to create an escape route and directional guidance system.

• Neolite escape systems should be installed because emergency powered systems can fail during an emergency or become obscured by smoke during a fire. Neolite Safety Products can be used down low on walls, emergency exit doors and even the floor where they can be seen in the dark or through smoke by people trying to find their way to safety.

• Neolite Safety Products are especially suited to buildings where an upgrading of safety levels is required but installation of an emergency powered system is costly or difficult. Neolite Safety Products can be used where other products can't because they don't need electricity or a supply of emergency power.

• The ability to see important objects clearly or walk along a Neolite line in the dark inspires more confidence than dim emergency lighting. The glow produced by Neolite Safety Products contrasts strongly with the dark surrounding and gives guidance without frantic searching and terror. The feeling of security is always greater when you can see where you are going in the dark, especially on flights of stairs.

• Safe, reliable escape systems can only be achieved if the system is functional under all conditions. A Neolite Safety System makes it possible for every occupant in any part of the building, to follow the "Light Way" in total darkness or smoke to an emergency exit. Neolite Safety Systems make it possible to locate fire extinguishers, alarms, telephones, valves and switches during an emergency enhancing existing safety measures and assisting in the speedy evacuation of buildings in darkness. They reduce panic by providing orientation and confidence, are totally reliable provided they have been exposed to light prior to blackout, are inexpensive, versatile and can be installed wherever a source of light exists. Neolite Safety Products are completely safe, require no power, no maintenance, are unaffected by temperature, water, explosion and are to a great degree vandal proof.
