Transit Lights the Way

Intenslite International Ltd. developed a unique Emergency Escape Path light- ing system dubbed Transit that has proven visible even in the densest of smoke.

This product is a side emitting fiber optic rope lit by a compact green laser, which can illuminate up to a distance of 100 yards. If a laser is placed at each end then 200 yards is achievable. The power consumed is no more than 14 watts.

Transit was initially designed for the offshore market as an LLL (Low

Location Lighting), or Emergency

Escape Path lighting system. Using light only in the fiber optic rope makes this system intrinsically safe as there is no electricity in the path. It has proved to have many other uses than offshore, as it may be used underwater.
