LuminoKrom\u00ae paint, an economical lighting solution<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

The use of LuminoKrom\u00ae photoluminescent surfacing offers a number of economic advantages for local authorities, particularly in infrastructure and urban development projects.<\/p>\n

LuminoKrom\u00ae captures natural or artificial light during the day and releases it at night, reducing the need for public and artificial lighting<\/strong> in areas such as bicycle paths, parking lots and pedestrian areas. The result is a significant reduction in electricity consumption costs.<\/p>\n

Our technology is designed to be durable, with high resistance to weathering<\/strong> and wear. This reduces maintenance costs compared with conventional lighting systems or other less resistant types of coating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

One of the major concerns of local authorities is the safety of public infrastructures<\/strong>, especially at night. Effective lighting helps reduce accidents and make public spaces safer, but it can be costly.<\/p>\n

Reduced accidents and associated costs<\/strong>: Better lighting of bicycle paths and pedestrian zones with LuminoKrom\u00ae can reduce night-time accidents involving cyclists and pedestrians. Fewer accidents mean lower costs in terms of infrastructure repairs (ramps, barriers, sidewalks) and potentially savings in public health expenditure associated with emergency care. Surfacing improves visibility of traffic lanes at night, which can also reduce vehicle-related accidents, avoiding indirect costs to the community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Lower energy costs<\/span><\/h3>\n

The main advantage of LuminoKrom\u00ae lies in its energy autonomy<\/strong>. Unlike traditional street lighting, which relies on electricity, LuminoKrom\u00ae uses the renewable energy of sunlight to charge itself during the day. Our cladding therefore recharges naturally and diffuses a soft light at night, without the need to consume electricity.<\/p>\n

Lower electricity bills<\/strong>. A local authority may consider reducing or completely switching off street lighting in certain areas, leaving LuminoKrom\u00ae to ensure sufficient visibility for users, particularly on cycle paths or footpaths. Over several years, the energy savings can represent a considerable amount, especially in areas where street lighting is expensive to maintain (rural areas, parks, etc.).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Simple, low-maintenance<\/span><\/h3>\n

Unlike traditional lighting infrastructures, which require frequent maintenance (repairing lamp posts, replacing bulbs, cleaning, checking electrical circuits), LuminoKrom\u00ae coating is much more durable and resilient.<\/p>\n

Lower maintenance costs<\/strong>. Once applied, LuminoKrom\u00ae can last for many years without replacement or maintenance. It resists weathering, temperature variations and wear and tear. On a sidewalk, the life of a LuminoKrom marking is estimated at 10 years. This means that municipal maintenance budgets can be lightened, enabling these financial resources to be used for other community projects.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Long-term profitability<\/span><\/h3>\n

Although the initial investment in LuminoKrom\u00ae coating may seem high compared to traditional solutions (standard road paint), the long-term savings are considerable.<\/p>\n

Initial installation cost<\/strong>. Approximately 50 kg of product are required to cover 1 km of track, representing an overall cost of around \u20ac5,000. This estimate compares with the \u20ac200,000 to \u20ac400,000 required for the electrical installation of 1 km of street lighting, which includes lamp posts, wiring and ongoing energy consumption. The savings on energy, maintenance and safety costs mean that the initial investment in a LuminoKrom\u00ae marking system will pay for itself very quickly. What's more, given the product's long lifespan, potential savings multiply over the years, creating lasting profitability.<\/p>\n

Grants and subsidies<\/span><\/h3>\n

Investing in an innovative, environmentally-friendly technology like LuminoKrom\u00ae enables local authorities to position themselves as part of a sustainable development approach<\/strong>, which can be attractive when it comes to obtaining public subsidies.<\/p>\n

Access to public funding:<\/strong> Local, regional, national or European aid may be available to finance sustainable mobility, energy transition or smart city projects. For example, European funding under the Green Deal or other support programs may be available.<\/p>\n

Communities that opt for green infrastructure<\/strong> also increase their attractiveness to public and private partners, which can generate additional financing or partnerships.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Example of a real application<\/h2>\n
\n

Let's take the example of urban cycle paths<\/strong> - a local authority could consider using LuminoKrom\u00ae to reduce night-time lighting<\/strong> on its cycle paths, while maintaining cyclists' safety. Let's assume that the local authority saves \u20ac10,000 a year on its electricity bills for each kilometer of track covered, with a 30% reduction in maintenance costs.<\/p>\n

Over five years, this saving would represent several tens of thousands of euros, while making the town more attractive and sustainable. All in all, LuminoKrom\u00ae offers an innovative, cost-effective solution for local authorities, while meeting today's energy and environmental challenges.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
