A chemically activated lighting system is provided which serves to clearly mark an exit door or hatch (1) as an emergency escape route. The system utilizes two chemical agents (A, B) which when mixed together form a compound which radiates light. The compound is then passed through a transparent conduit (20) which is found around the escape exit. Each of the chemical agents (A, B) which are mixed to form the chemical compound is stored in separate chambers (36, 37). When the system is activated, compressed gas (51) is released from a CO<2> canister which causes the chambers (36, 37) which contain the chemical agents (A, B) to be compressed, forcing the agents out of their respective chambers and into a central mixing chamber (44) where they are mixed and form the light producing compound. The compound is then passed through the transparent conduit in order to illuminate the escape exit.
