High-Lites Introduces Photoluminescent Exit Signs

Waterbury, Connecticut – High-Lites has introduced the HPL Series photoluminescent of exit signs that are available in framed and un-framed versions. HPL Series exit signs are designed to absorb and store ambient fluorescent, metal halide or mercury vapor light energy, without the need of electricity.
