FIREFLY™ photoluminescent products
LLEPM (LOW-LOCATION EXIT PATH MARKINGS)
INPS has worked closely with many mass transit car builders and transit authorities to design, engineer and manufacture luminous egress systems that work both functionally and financially. Our LLEPM (low-location exit path marking) products are manufactured using the highest quality materials in terms of durability and safety. They are suitable for new or existing rubber, carpet floor coverings and walls.
LLEPM is mandatory on all passenger rolling stock related by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and has become mandatory on all equipment operating under the self-regulating guidelines of the American Public Transportation Association (APTA). It is part of the Emergency Preparedness Plans of each transit agency. To minimize cost and increase ease of installation, INPS has developed turnkey solutions that include egress signage and low-level emergency path illumination products.

Transit users will appreciate the use of FIREFLY™ photoluminescent products. By keeping your passengers safe they will enjoy their journey better. Photoluminescent egress lighting has been used for years on planes, trains and ships to assist evacuations, particularly when power is out. Today, photoluminescent egress lighting is being adopted more widely by facilities to help guide occupants in emergencies when there is little or no light.
Ensure your passengers know how to exit their train cars
- As train operators strive to prevent accidents, they must also work to make their transit egress systems more effective. If there is a blackout, emergency signs and lighted foot paths that require electricity fail to illuminate, if a fire or malfunction causes the power to fail.
- A more sensible and cost effective solution is photoluminescent safety signs and egress markings. Photoluminescent safety signs rely on its material that gets its charge from ambient light. If the lights ever go out, photoluminescent signs glow in the dark, making them highly visible, even in smoky conditions.
- Photoluminescent signs are effective in the light, as well, as they can be brightly printed and reflective. Thus, glow in the dark transit safety solutions can be used to mark exits, tripping hazards, walking paths, and emergency tools in light and dark conditions, all without expending any unnecessary energy.
- Since glow-in-the-dark signs require any wiring, they reduce the amount of flammable materials found on trains. Learn more about how photoluminescent signs and tape can make your transit egress systems safe.
