Night-time visibility, a necessity for user safety<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
\n
\n\t
\n

During the day, the light emitted by the sun allows us to see, to situate ourselves in space, to navigate, to avoid obstacles and to recognize each other. When it's dark, the risk of accidents increases<\/strong> considerably due to poor visibility.<\/p>\n

To compensate for this difficulty of visibility and guide ourselves in the dark, man first used fire (torches, candles, candelabras, etc.), then discovered electricity and invented the light bulb.<\/p>\n

Today, LuminoKrom\u00ae paint represents a major technological advance in the field of night-time visibility. Thanks to its photoluminescent properties, this intelligent paint offers a self-contained, durable solution for improving visibility and safety<\/strong> in environments with little or no lighting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Why are risks greater at night?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Diminished visual perception<\/strong>: human vision is naturally less effective at night, even with the lights on a bicycle or a pedestrian's headlamp. Objects, obstacles and road markings are harder to spot, which can lead to errors of judgment. Road users see their vision diminish and their orientation is affected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Longer reaction times<\/strong>: with reduced visibility, road users need more time to react to events, whether it's a pedestrian crossing the road, or a cyclist approaching a dangerous bend or creek bank. In the dark, spatial perception is disrupted and the distinction of surrounding elements is drastically impacted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Fatigue and distractions<\/strong>: Night-time travel is often associated with increased fatigue, which reduces users' vigilance. Clear, optimized visibility compensates for this lack of attention by making hazards more obvious.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

What are the differences between
\nphotoluminescent paint and conventional road markings?<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n
\n\t

LuminoKrom\u00ae outperforms conventional paints in terms of visibility thanks to its ability to glow in the dark, reducing dependence on artificial lighting. Conventional paint has no ability to emit light. Conventional road markings use paints mixed with glass microbeads or other reflective materials that reflect the light of vehicle headlights back to drivers, making the marking visible at night.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
\n\t
\n

In the absence of available light in the environment (lighthouse), conventional paint is totally ineffective. Marking becomes invisible in low-light conditions or in total darkness.<\/p>\n

In the case of LuminoKrom\u00ae marking products, the emission of luminescence improves night-time visibility<\/strong>, particularly in environments with no or insufficient street lighting. Luminescent road markings become luminous guides in the dark. This helps to orientate users, prevent accidents<\/strong> and provide reassurance, as night-time is still a source of anxiety for many citizens.<\/p>\n
