What is Photoluminescence?

Modern high-performance photoluminescent (PL) materials are created by combining the latest PL pigments, such as Strontium Aluminate (SrAl) into durable clear carriers, such as Polyester, Acrylic, or PVC plastics. While exposed to light these materials absorb some of its energy and re-emit it as a yellow-green tinted light. The materials can be exposed to light and discharged an infinite number of times with service lives of twenty years or more. Luna’s materials are virtually indestructible, highly vandal resistant, non-toxic and non-radioactive.

The Photoluminescent Breakthrough

The new generation of high-performance photoluminescent (PL) materials started appearing at the close of the 1990’s. While modern photoluminescents share the same concept as PL products that have been around for decades, they expand the useful visible period from minutes to 15 hours or more. This longer duration and increased brightness has made photoluminescent products ideal for life-safety applications. Luna’s initial product line is believed to be the first commercially available product of this new generation in North America.
