When lighting fails, standard signs and visual cues can become harder to see. In stairwells, corridors, exits and shared building spaces, this can make emergency movement slower and more confusing. Heskins High Quality Egress Glow in the Dark Marking Tape helps improve low-light visibility by creating clear photoluminescent guidance on smooth surfaces.
Designed for domestic and commercial use, this glow in the dark egress tape is suitable for marking important building features such as exit routes, door frames, corridor edges, handrails, light switches and doorway areas. It provides a practical, non-electrical way to support emergency visibility and help people identify key routes when normal lighting is reduced.
What Is High Quality Egress Glow in the Dark Marking Tape?
Heskins High Quality Egress Glow in the Dark Marking Tape is a smooth photoluminescent marking tape designed for visual route identification. The material absorbs light from natural or artificial sources and then releases it as a visible glow in darkness.
This makes it useful for areas where people may need additional guidance during a power outage, evacuation or low-light emergency. The tape can be applied to smooth surfaces to help mark exit routes, door frames, walls, walkway edges, handrails, door handles and light switch areas.
Unlike powered emergency lighting, glow in the dark tape does not require electricity to produce its afterglow. Once charged by available light, the photoluminescent surface remains visible for a period of time, depending on the grade selected and the level of light exposure before darkness.
Important: Not for Direct Foot Traffic
This product is intended for smooth-surface marking and should not be applied in areas of direct foot traffic. It is best used on walls, door frames, handrails, switches, handles and other surfaces that are visible but not walked on.
For floors, stair treads, walkways or areas where people will walk directly on the material, Heskins glow in the dark anti-slip tape or glow in the dark anti-slip treads may be more suitable. These products are designed to provide both visibility and traction, making them better suited to walked-on surfaces.
Choosing the correct product is important for both performance and durability. If the application needs route marking only, High Quality Egress Glow in the Dark Marking Tape is a strong choice. If the application also needs grip, an anti-slip photoluminescent product should be considered.
Premium 8152 vs Super 8154
Heskins offers this high quality glow in the dark egress tape in two versions: Premium 8152 and Super 8154. Both are designed to provide stronger glow performance than standard glow in the dark marking materials, but they are suited to different project requirements.
Premium 8152 is the higher-performance option and is best suited to projects where longer afterglow performance is required. It is ideal for safety-critical areas where extended visibility is important.
Super 8154 is a practical alternative where strong glow performance is needed, but a lower specification may be sufficient. It can be a suitable option for general egress marking, route guidance and safety visibility projects.
This choice allows facilities teams, contractors and safety managers to select the most appropriate glow in the dark tape for their building, budget and performance requirements.
