“Factories in Telangana see 1 fire accident every 2 days” reads a recent headline. Telangana is not even a grain of sand if you see the map of the world, or at best, a small rock if you see the Bharat map.

WHY SPEND MORE ON PROLITE EMERGENCY LIGHTS AND PHOTOLUMINESCENT SIGNAGES?
It is a known fact that an imitation only flatters the original. However, many people economize on all kinds of consumer goods by buying imitations. There are many products that spur a parallel market which thrives too. Purses, shoes, watches or mobile phones for instance. But in all these examples it could be an ego issue, a style statement or just a matter of choice. However, would you buy a duplicate product if your life depended on it?
In case of a fire or blackout, when people’s lives may be at stake, an imitation emergency light or sign can fail and lead to injury and even death. Therefore, buying an imitation product cannot be an acceptable business strategy here. Prolite, has over 30 plus years, gained the reputation as a market leader and service provider in safe escape or exigency solutions. Also, more importantly, Prolite’s products, besides being indigenous, are approved by the National Building Code and other bona fide authorization bodies making them the safest buy for anyone and everyone.
Furthermore, Prolite manufactures separate specialized products for high risk locations as against common locations. A house or a building could have normal range of products installed but a fireworks factory or a chemical godown with flammable product storage will necessarily require the flame proof range where high temperatures will not destroy the product and let them guide entrapped people to safety.
All authorized bodies and experts will only recommend Prolite exigency products precisely because human life is worth much more than a few bucks saved.
