The Merit Lighting PL-924 Series Photoluminescent Exit sign uses a class of newly developed phosphorescent (glow-in-the-dark) pigments which are based on Strontium Oxide Aluminate chemistry. They are drastically different from conventional phosphorescent pigments that are either based on Zinc Sulfide or on radio-isotopes for their self-luminous properties.
These pigments glow virtually all night long.1
