The Future of Safety: Why the 3L-PL™ Low Location Lighting System Is Revolutionizing Maritime Safety
2.10.2025
In emergency situations, visibility can mean the difference between chaos and calm. That’s why low location lighting systems (LLL) are critical for maritime safety. Whether you’re outfitting a passenger vessel, offshore platform, or cruise ship, choosing the right low location light system ensures safe evacuation, even in smoke-filled corridors or total power outages.
3L PL Low Location Light
What Is a Low Location Lighting System?
A low location lighting system is an emergency guidance solution installed at floor level to illuminate escape routes. These systems are especially vital in maritime environments, where visibility can be compromised by fire, smoke, or electrical failure. The low location light strips guide passengers and crew safely to exits and assembly points.
Why Photoluminescent LLL Is the Smart Choice
Signwell’s 3L-PL™ photoluminescent low location lighting system stands out as the most advanced, sustainable, and cost-effective solution on the market. Unlike traditional systems that rely on aluminum profiles and electrical wiring, the 3L-PL™ system uses self-charging photoluminescent strips that:
Require no electricity
Are flame-retardant and halogen-free
Exceed ISO 17398 luminescence standards (Class C+)
Are easy to install and replace without damaging walls
This system is not only lighter and more durable but also environmentally friendly, making it the ideal choice for new builds and retrofits.
Installation Made Easy
The 3L-PL™ system is engineered for simplicity. With strong self-adhesive foam tape and flexible cutting options, installation is fast and efficient. No drilling, no aluminum profiles, and no complex wiring. Just peel, stick, and finished.
