A self-powered, wireless lighting system for an aircraft evacuation system. The lighting system includes a piezoelectric sensor (122, 422, 522) configured to generate electrical energy under an aircraft evacuation event when the aircraft evacuation system is deployed, and a first light source (124, 524) disposed on the aircraft evacuation system, the first light source (124, 524) configured to provide illumination to the aircraft evacuation system. The piezoelectric sensor (122, 422, 522) is operably connected to the first light source (124, 524) and configured to supply electrical energy to the light source (124, 524) based on vibrations in the evacuation system during deployment of the evacuation system and during use of the evacuation system as passengers evacuate the aircraft.
