« The luminescent markings on the cycle path between Saint-Apollinaire and Varois et Chaignot are a welcome initiative. It will enable cyclists to use the cycle path even at night, particularly in winter when it gets dark quickly. The luminescent markings will also make the cycle path more attractive and, above all, safer, which is the most important factor in making it easier for cyclists to use. »

What is photoluminescence?

Photoluminescence is a physical process whereby a material absorbs photons from a light source and re-emits them. To achieve this, the body is subjected to radiation of varying intensity, which excites the electrons present in the substance. These electrons store the light, store the energy and release it when there is a total absence of light.

Thanks to photoluminescence, the substance can be recharged indefinitely by daylight or artificial lighting. Our LuminoKrom® photoluminescent paint exploits exactly this physical phenomenon.
