Glow Bars – #1 Backup Lighting Source

Imagine walking down a long hallway when suddenly – the lights go out. There are no windows around, you are not familiar with the building, no one is around, and you are now left in complete darkness. Where do you go? What do you do? How do you find an exit?

When electricity fails, trust GBC Safety Glow’s Glow Bars – one of the world’s most trusted back-up lighting sources for power outages. Glow bars are easy to install, affordable, and add safety to rooms, hallways, elevators, basements, and more. Glow Bars fasten to existing light fixtures by magnetic tabs wherever you find back-up lighting necessary.

Many industries are utilizing this affordable alternative to second source lighting in power outage situations such as hospitals, manufacturing buildings, warehouses, schools, stadiums, and more.

Why be left in the dark? Don’t wait until the power goes out to realize you need backup lighting. Contact us today to discuss the benefits of adding Glow Bars to your building. You’ll be glad that you did.
