About LumAware

Lighting the Way to Safety – American Made, Veteran Owned

At LumAware, we believe that when lives are on the line, your emergency signage should never fail. That’s why we create code-compliant, photoluminescent exit signs and safety signage that are built to perform — with no electricity, no batteries, and no compromise.

Proudly American made and veteran owned, our products are built with precision, integrity, and real-world experience. We’re honored that every sign we manufacture is assembled by the skilled team at the Cincinnati Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired — part of the National Industries for the Blind and an AbilityOne company. Their dedication inspires us every day, especially the words of one of their employees: “I think it’s great that people who can’t see are helping those who can see find their way out of the dark.” In an emergency, visibility is everything — and our signs are made to light the path when it matters most.

Our Mission

We’re on a mission to make buildings safer — one hallway, one stairwell, and one EXIT sign at a time.

From fire stations to stadiums, hospitals, government facilities, and schools, LumAware equips buildings across the U.S. and around the world with sustainable, easy-to-install, and regulation-ready signage. Our goal? Create the safest, smartest building egress solutions in the industry.

Built on Experience. Powered by Innovation.

LumAware was born out of necessity. Our founder, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and firefighter, saw firsthand how poor visibility during emergencies endangered lives. Partnering with chemists and material scientists, he helped pioneer a new era of advanced photoluminescent technology — one that didn’t rely on bulbs, batteries, or wiring.

Today, that same relentless commitment to safety, simplicity, and innovation powers everything we do.
