<p>An integrated photoluminescent lighting system for evacuation of an aircraft in an emergency. The system is operable independently of any electrical power source to guide passengers to an exit (13), identify the exit (13) both when closed and open and to assist opening of the exit (13). The system includes photoluminescent guide means (5) for identifying an escape route, photoluminescent indicator means (17) for identifying the exit (13), and photoluminescent sign means (18) for identifying the instructions and controls for opening the exit (13). The guide means (5) includes photoluminescent material arranged to emit a path of light along an aisle (4) towards the exit (13). The indicator means (17) includes photoluminescent material arranged to emit a band of light framing the exit (13). The sign means (18) includes photoluminescent material arranged to illuminate the operating instructions and to indicate the opening movement of a control handle (22) to open the exit (13).</p> |
