Lighting the Way to Safety: The Power of 3L-EP™ Electrical Powered Low Location Lighting System by Signwell

Imagine this: a vessel caught in the chaos of an emergency. Smoke fills the corridors, alarms blare, and visibility drops to near zero. In moments like these, panic is a natural response, but guidance is everything. That’s where Signwell’s 3L-EP™ Electrical Powered Low Location Lighting System becomes more than just a product. It becomes a lifeline.

Safety You Can See, Even When You Can’t

Unlike traditional photoluminescent systems that rely on ambient light to charge, the 3L-EP™ LED system shines with unwavering clarity, no fading, no waiting. It’s always ready, always visible, and always reliable. Installed at floor level, where visibility remains longest during smoke-filled emergencies, this system guides passengers and crew toward safety with precision and calm.

Its flexibility allows it to hug the curves of a ship’s architecture, from sweeping staircases to tight corridors ensuring that no path is left in darkness with an electrical powered low location lighting system.

How It Works: A Silent Sentinel

The 3L-EP™ system stands guard in standby mode, ready to activate instantly via remote control or power failure. It’s built with high-brightness “true green” LEDs spaced every 200 mm, forming a continuous ribbon of light that can stretch over 1,000 meters without interruption.

  • IP67-rated for water and dust resistance
  • Operates in temperatures from –15°C to +55°C
  • Lifespan exceeding 150,000 hours

This isn’t just Low Location Lighting, it’s engineered resilience, exactly the kind of reliability expected from when such a Low Location Lighting System is needed.

Designed to Blend in

Every ship has its own character, and safety systems should complement that. Signwell offers a range of mounting profiles, colour options, and materials to ensure the 3L-EP™ system integrates seamlessly into your vessel’s design, without compromising performance.
