« This project is part of the cycle routes being developed by the Pedestrian Cycle Committee. This section will facilitate the connection between Cicé-Blossac and the town centre, as the existing path was difficult for all cyclists to use. As this path is not lit, we opted for photoluminescent road markings that capture and store light during the day and light up at night. » (Source: Ouest France)

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.
