An Australian first: LuminoKrom® photoluminescent paint is transforming the night-time experience of pedestrian and cycle paths in Blacktown, near Sydney, with safer, more innovative spaces.

 

Thanks to our unique beaconing solution, Australia joins the many cities and territories around the world that are adopting our sustainable technology to improve night-time safety.

This first application marks a major turning point in the history of our LuminoKrom® paint. By combining innovation, reliability and durability, this project illustrates the potential of our technology to meet the challenges of urban mobility, while limiting its environmental impact.

LuminoKrom® lights up night-time mobility in Blacktown

Blacktown, a dynamic city on the outskirts of Sydney, is renowned for being a place where pedestrians and cyclists play an important role in urban mobility. The pedestrian and cycle routes, which are often used both day and night, needed to be improved in terms of night-time safety.

 

Project objectives

  • Improving night-time visibility: The pathways concerned, which previously had no lighting, are now illuminated by our photoluminescent paint, which is visible in the dark, without the need for electrical installations.
  • Protecting vulnerable road users: Photoluminescent road markings offer pedestrians and cyclists a safer experience.
  • Embracing sustainable innovation: Our fully autonomous and sustainable signage solution meets Blacktown's commitment to the environment.

Information and type of project

For this project, LuminoKrom® photoluminescent paint was applied to several sections of footpath and cycleway in Blacktown.

The almond-green photoluminescent paint used guarantees sufficient brightness to guide users throughout the night.

This pilot project focused on strategic areas where footfall is high and conventional lighting is limited, such as paths through nature parks and residential areas, or cycle paths linking public transport areas or community centres.

What is LuminoKrom®?

LuminoKrom® is a range of photoluminescent paints capable of capturing natural or artificial light during the day and releasing it in the form of diffuse luminescence after dark. Thanks to its patented technology, our innovation makes it possible to increase night-time visibility in areas where there is no lighting, in complete autonomy, without the need for electrical power.

Our illuminated beaconing solution meets today's need to make infrastructures safer and more environmentally friendly, while blending harmoniously into the landscape.

 

 

Benefits for the local community

 

Improving night-time safety

Applying our LuminoKrom® paint has a direct impact on the safety of pedestrians and cyclists by improving their visibility in poorly lit or unlit areas. These illuminated paths reduce the risk of accidents linked to a lack of visibility, a crucial issue for urban infrastructures.

 

Aesthetic and lasting benefits

As well as improving safety, LuminoKrom® paint offers an attractive and innovative solution. Our markings transform paths into practical, pleasant spaces. What's more, photoluminescent paint requires little maintenance and is resistant to a wide range of climatic conditions, an asset for regions like Australia.

 

Sustainable adoption

Unlike electric lighting, LuminoKrom® paint generates no light pollution and consumes no energy. It fits in perfectly with the sustainable development strategies of communities like Blacktown, helping to reduce the overall carbon footprint.

This first project in Australia marks a key stage in LuminoKrom®'s international expansion. After its success in Europe, Africa, Asia and America, Oceania was the only place left to welcome our luminescent paint.

This first application on the Oceania continent is symbolically located in Australia and testifies to the worldwide recognition of our innovation. LuminoKrom®'s ability to respond to local challenges while providing a universal solution to lack of luminosity positions us as a leader in the field of photoluminescent paints.

Be part of the LuminoKrom® adventure: imagine your infrastructures lit without electricity, safe and sustainable. Your city could be the next to shine!
