About the Council

Raising awareness of the safety, sustainability and energy efficiency of photoluminescent lighting.

Safety is only achieved through reliability. The characteristics of PL products make them extremely reliable — a key factor in their adoption into building codes across the USA, Canada, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.

With nearly three decades of experience consulting on codes and standards worldwide, the PLC engages independent bodies and fosters collaboration among manufacturers, designers and regulators to bring innovation and efficiency to asset owners.
