Ecoglo® E40 Series Luminescent Contrast Strips

Ecoglo®’s stair strips absorb ambient light—natural or artificial—and store energy. In the dark, they emit a bright glow for hours, marking step edges clearly without electricity or batteries.

Fully charged strips can glow for 6–12 hours, depending on light exposure. They recharge quickly under standard lighting conditions.

Yes, Ecoglo E20 strips meet IBC, IFC, OSHA, and local building codes for egress path markings and visibility in emergency conditions.

Continuous lines of photoluminescent markings along evacuation routes—especially on steps, handrails, and landings—help guide evacuees safely, even in darkness or smoke.

Unlike overhead lighting, photoluminescent stairway guidance (SWG) systems are placed low and remain visible beneath smoke layers, ensuring people can clearly see where to place their hands and feet during an emergency.

Yes. Ecoglo® contrast strips are UV-resistant, weatherproof, and suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications—ideal for stairwells, ramps, loading docks, and fire exits.

• Tested to accelerated UV/weathering exposure, and proven to be highly resistant to the effects of UV/weathering.
• The loss in performance is less than can be detected by the human eye when subjected to 6000 hours of UV exposure, which is similar to 30 years of outdoor exposure.
• The polymer used in Ecoglo®’s patented process is “long chain” which forms a strong UV resistant product when bonding.

The rigid aluminum base spreads any applied load over a greater area of installation adhesive. Installation with a premium polyurethane adhesive/sealant is extremely durable, moisture resistant, and works very well on both smooth and textured surfaces.

Installation is simple: use adhesive (recommended for indoor use) or mechanical fasteners for extra durability outdoors or in high-traffic areas.

Yes. Ecoglo® luminiscent strips feature high-traction ridges made of silicon carbide, bonded to an aluminum base for excellent slip resistance—even in wet or oily conditions.
