Exit lighting within Laser Tag room

Does anyone know of a code section that would address exit lighting within a Laser Tag room?

A Laser Tag room has been created within an establishment (yes an A Occupancy) and the room is nearly pitch black, even with the ceiling mounted black lights on. As soon as those lights go out it is COMPLETELY black in there.

thanks in advance
 
Yep that is what we apply

Kill music , cue lights

Have seen since the area is normally personed, that it has been allowed by just the attendant turning a light switch
 
Being a 101 user we would use the "special amusement" provisions like IBC's 411 to floor proximity egress path marking and signage. We would also require deactivation of all sound and kick on lighting like we do in theaters upon activation of the fire alarm and detection system if applicable based on area and occupant loading.
 
Since it's laser tag, maybe you could use black lights for the exit signs.
