The lighting pictured in the sample does not use any electricity
The lighting pictured in the sample does not use any electricity; It is a glow-in-the-dark material that has been extruded into solid tubing in different diameters. This brings a new set of robust, shock-resistant alternatives to powered electroluminescence.
The product is a flexible material that can be attached to any substrate. It has the advantage of being UV-resistant, and it can easily be cut to different lengths (requiring no sealing). Only 5 to 10 minutes exposure to bright light or sunshine makes the tubing glow warmly for eight or more hours. Three standard colors are available: Yellow-Green, Blue-Green and Blue. The brightest illumination is seen in the first 3-4 hours and then it slowly diminishes until it naturally recharges with exposure to light. The material is endlessly rechargeable. Glow output depends on diameter. Larger sizes offer the most visible glow and are suggested for outdoor usage. Small sizes are recommended for applications such as fishing, apparel, gear, etc. Depending on the final application, the composition of the plastic tubing varies, for example, PVC, EVA, PP, PE, etc. The glow-in-the-dark material itself is proprietary.
Powerless Illuminating Tubing has been used in a variety of decorative, architectural, theatrical, sporting, pet, and apparel applications. For example, it can be used along pathways to make nighttime walks safer without using power. The material has also been used to add decorative, functional accents to surfboards and wetsuits _ when surfers go into a tube, the Powerless Illuminating Tubing glows to show their position.
