Photoluminous Technology for Sustainable Safety and Visibility
Supporting ESG and Climate Objectives
Photoluminous technology aligns naturally with environmental, sustainability and governance objectives. It enables organisations to reduce operational emissions, lower maintenance costs, minimise waste and demonstrate tangible progress toward climate targets.
As sustainability requirements continue to influence procurement decisions, infrastructure planning and consumer preferences, photoluminous solutions provide a practical and measurable way to improve safety while reducing environmental impact.
At LuminousFlux, we continue to develop low-carbon, long-life photoluminous innovations that support safer environments, cleaner cities and more sustainable mobility solutions.
Our photoluminous technology is built around a single principle: delivering safety and visibility without energy consumption. By harnessing renewable photoluminescence, our solutions eliminate the need for electrical power, wiring, batteries or ongoing maintenance, significantly reducing carbon emissions, electronic waste and long-term operational costs.
Unlike traditional illuminated safety systems that rely on electricity or battery backups, photoluminous materials absorb ambient light during the day and emit a visible glow in low-light or emergency conditions. This ensures continuous safety performance during power outages while removing reliance on unreliable batteries and grid-connected systems.
By replacing powered safety lighting, organisations can directly reduce Scope 2 emissions associated with electricity use and Scope 3 emissions linked to battery manufacturing, replacement cycles and disposal. The result is a safer, lower-carbon and more sustainable alternative to conventional lighting infrastructure.

Reducing Waste and Supporting Circular Design
Photoluminous products are long-life, maintenance-free solutions. They do not require battery replacement, electrical servicing or frequent component changes, helping to prevent millions of outdated exit signs, batteries and lighting units from entering landfills and e-waste streams.
This approach supports a transition away from the traditional take, make and discard model toward a more circular, durable and environmentally responsible product lifecycle.
Applications for Cycling and Mobility
Photoluminous technology presents a strong opportunity for bicycle manufacturers, mobility brands and safety apparel companies seeking to improve visibility while meeting sustainability goals.
For bicycles, photoluminous elements can be integrated into frames, rims, pedals, decals or road-contact components, providing passive illumination without adding weight, electronics or power requirements. This enhances rider visibility in low-light conditions while reducing reliance on battery-powered lights.
For high-visibility clothing and safety wear, photoluminous materials offer continuous glow performance without charging cables or replaceable batteries. This is particularly beneficial for cyclists, delivery riders and urban mobility users, improving safety while supporting eco-conscious product lines.
By incorporating photoluminous technology, bike and mobility brands can offer products that are safer, lighter, lower maintenance and aligned with carbon reduction and sustainability commitments.

Ensuring Safety as Days Shorten
As summer transitions into autumn, daylight hours naturally decrease, ushering in longer evenings and earlier nights. With the end-of-October time change in certain countries, the need to prioritize safety for cyclists and pedestrians during these extended hours of darkness becomes even more critical.
In many regions, the shift to winter time correlates with a rise in road accidents. In France, for example, the number of fatal accidents involving pedestrians surged by 42% between October and January. As the days get shorter, visibility becomes a major safety concern—one that can be addressed through effective solutions like LuminousFlux® photoluminescent marking technology.
Our products provide a cost-effective, sustainable solution to enhance visibility and safety during low-light conditions, reducing the risks associated with cycling, walking, and driving in poorly lit areas.
Recent Work
Our innovative LuminousFlux® 'Smarter Path' line markings leverage the power of photoluminescence—a process where materials absorb light during the day and release it as visible light once darkness falls. This principle is similar to the glow-in-the-dark effect seen in everyday items like children’s toys, stickers, or watches.
For our line markings, the material absorbs photons from sunlight or artificial light, storing this energy throughout the day. As night approaches, this stored energy is gradually released, creating a glowing effect that enhances visibility and safety. This makes the path markings easily visible in low-light conditions, significantly improving the safety of pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers during nighttime travel.
By integrating this cutting-edge technology, we are able to provide enhanced safety measures for high-risk areas where visibility is paramount. Our photoluminescent line markings are an ideal solution for dark paths, bike lanes, and other crucial routes that require heightened visibility for safer navigation.
Illuminated Cycle Paths: Enhancing Territorial Attractiveness

FACILITIES
ROAD SAFETY
As urban areas continue to focus on sustainability and improving quality of life, illuminated cycle paths are becoming an essential feature in enhancing both safety and attractiveness of local territories. With longer evenings and increasing popularity of cycling, providing well-lit, safe, and visually appealing cycle paths is more crucial than ever.
LuminousFlux® photoluminescent technology plays a key role in this transformation. Our photoluminescent line markings offer a sustainable solution to illuminate cycle paths without the need for traditional street lighting. These markings absorb light during the day and emit a soft, safe glow at night, making cycling routes more visible and accessible after dark.
Incorporating illuminated paths not only increases the safety of cyclists but also contributes to the overall attractiveness of a territory. By creating well-lit, welcoming routes, local authorities and urban planners can foster a safer, more enjoyable cycling experience, encouraging both locals and tourists to explore their surroundings.

Harnessing the Power of Photoluminescence for Sustainable Illumination
LuminousFlux® technology leverages the natural phenomenon of photoluminescence alongside the renewable energy sourced from solar radiation. This innovative process enables the paint to continuously recharge, powered solely by exposure to both natural daylight and artificial lighting—without experiencing any degradation or fatigue over time.
Throughout the day, LuminousFlux® efficiently captures and stores ambient light, transforming it into a powerful energy source. As the sun sets, the paint gradually releases this stored light in the form of soft, diffuse luminosity, providing reliable visibility for up to 10 hours during the night.
What sets LuminousFlux® apart is its remarkable efficiency: it operates entirely off the grid, requiring no electricity and generating no CO2 emissions. This sustainable solution offers a greener, energy-conscious approach to enhancing nighttime safety and visibility.
A Breakthrough in Infrastructure Safety and Sustainability
Since its introduction in 2018, LuminousFlux® has been widely adopted by numerous communities and infrastructure managers across various sectors. From bicycle paths to pedestrian walkways, traffic circles, crosswalks, evacuation routes, parking lots, loading docks, and more—this innovative technology is illuminating spaces with unprecedented efficiency.
The core advantage of LuminousFlux® lies in its ability to provide consistent and renewable luminescence throughout the night. Powered by the surrounding natural or artificial light, it absorbs energy during the day and releases it as visible light in the dark, ensuring enhanced safety and visibility at all hours.
What sets LuminousFlux® apart is its patented process, a significant leap in road safety technology. This advanced method creates a luminescent effect that is not only highly effective but also autonomous, requiring no external power sources. The result is a cost-effective, eco-sustainable signage solution that contributes to greener, energy-efficient infrastructure.
As communities look for safer, more sustainable solutions, LuminousFlux® continues to play a pivotal role in reshaping the future of urban and road infrastructure.
