Smarterlite is replacing costly, short-lived, environmentally harmful emergency and safety lighting across the planet using innovative photoluminescent technology.

Traditional emergency exit signage relies on batteries, electricity, regular maintenance and replacement cycles, creating unnecessary energy consumption, e-waste and compliance risk across commercial buildings. Smarterlite is a global leader in photoluminescent exit signs, lighting and wayfinding solutions, including battery-free photoluminescent and hybrid LED exit signs designed to reduce energy use, maintenance and waste while maintaining compliant emergency wayfinding performance Our product range also includes OHS signs, warning signs, and higher-visibility photoluminescent line and pavement markings for buildings, public spaces, paths, and roads. Smarterlite technology has been deployed across government, commercial and retail environments, helping businesses and government significantly reduce operational emissions, maintenance burden and battery waste. Our Hybrid Photoluminescent Exit Signage is Australian Made certified, NCC compliant, ISO 9001 certified and supported by measurable project outcomes and long-life product design. Smarterlite is part of the Polar Enviro group of brands, alongside Roadside Safety Solutions, Vivacity and OmniGrip Direct. Polar Enviro is helping businesses reduce their emissions, enhance their sustainability, divert waste from landfill and achieve their ESG goals.

Smarterlite Sustainability Actions

Reduced battery waste in commercial buildings through battery-free exit signage

Over one hundred thousand exit sign batteries have been avoided by replacing traditional exit signs with Smarterlite battery-free exit signs over our product lifecycle. Over one hundred thousands kilos e-waste has been avoided, including batteries, plastics and circuitry, over which 90% is reported to end up in landfill, by replacing traditional exit signs with Smarterlite battery-free exit signs over our product lifecycle.

Reduced operational energy consumption in emergency exit signs

Up to 100% reduction in electricity consumption, depending on the model of exit sign used.

Manufactured Australian Made Battery Free Hybrid, Low Wattage Exit Signs

Our Hybrid Photoluminescent Exit Sign is made in Melbourne’s North, supporting local jobs, local capability and Australian manufacturing. This facility was the recipient of a Victorian Government grant for low emissions manufacturing. Reduced supply chain impact by replacing short-lived battery-backed competitor products with long-life, battery free, low-energy emergency signage. Reduces battery waste and e-waste, while extending asset life by approximately 2–5 times compared with conventional emergency exit signage. Aligns with government procurement priorities for Australian-made, lower-carbon and more sustainable technology. Boosts sovereign manufacturing while reducing long-term operating, maintenance and replacement costs for government assets.

Extended product lifecycle through long-life photoluminescent technology

Smarterlite has fundamentally rethought the lifecycle of emergency exit signage, our battery-free photoluminescent technology significantly outlasts traditional battery-backup systems. Smarterlite Exit Signs last 16 - 30 years, depending on the model installed. A building portfolio with 1,000 traditional exit signs would typically replace these assets 3 - 5 times over the same period due to battery failure. This not only reduces waste generation but also delivers measurable reductions in embodied carbon associated with manufacturing, distribution and disposal activities. The long-life performance of the technology also reduces the maintenance burden placed on facility managers and building owners. By removing battery testing, battery replacement and frequent exit sign replacements due to failure, organisations can reduce labour, disruption and ongoing operational costs while maintaining compliant emergency wayfinding systems.
