1 Powered by glowzone TM Dependable lighting for safe egress Safe egress when emergency electrical lighting and signage fail.

2 Balco s IllumiTread powered by glowzone TM offers a revolutionary photoluminescent safety egress system that is highly visible, yet non-electric, routing system for path finding in the event of a loss of power within a building or structure.

3 IllumiTread IllumiTread, For Safety s Sake Electrical emergency lighting and signage are subject to failure, leaving egress routes in the dark. IllumiTread is failsafe, providing a non-electric, highly visible routing system that makes egress faster and safer for many hours after power loss. The IllumiTread product line includes Stair Nosings, Aisle Markers, Demarcation, Hand Rail Markers and Signage all designed to help assure safe egress after the loss of electrical power in a building. IllumiTread powered by glowzone TM uses only the highest grade Strontium Aluminate pigments, this means brighter glow, upwards of 30 times brighter than standard Zinc Sulfide photoluminescence materials. This provides a rating that exceeds the New York City Building Code Reference Standards RS 6-1 and RS 6-1A. IllumiTread products are designed for new construction or for retrofit and are far safer than traditional systems.
