Exploring the effectiveness of glow paint for functional lighting

How would you feel if the walls and ceiling of your room exude a luminescence with the lights switched off? Unique, mesmerizing, and dreamy, right? Well, there is a way to express our radiant creativity. Glow paint is the solution for a glowing ambiance.

A paint that glows in the dark is perfect for illuminating spaces. The luminous or glow-in-the-dark paint contains phosphors that absorb natural or artificial light and emit it slowly in the dark, providing a glowing effect.

Creating images and unique lighting effects with different colors can provide a magical luminous touch in the rooms. A coat of glow paint in theme parks and entertainment venues can be visually appealing.

One of the drawbacks- glow paints do not last long. As a matter of fact, we can’t expect to keep the space glowing by painting it once. A new coat is needed every few years to retain the radiance.

But, can we use this glow paint to mark pathways, stairs, hotel corridors, handrails and railings, or if an emergency exists? Do you think it can be an alternative lighting source in the event of power shortage or low visibility? 

The soft glow would allow people to navigate their surroundings with ease when bright lighting might not be available.
