Photoluminescent Stair Nosing are aluminum plates coated with photo luminescent glow in the dark material on one side. The purpose is for it to function as a secondary light source in an emergency power failure.
A Bit About Photo Luminous Glow in the Dark
Photoluminescent material has the ability to absorb and store surrounding light. When there is a power failure or sudden blackout, it then releases this stored light in the form of a glow.
Through research over the years and the use of new chemicals, the brightness and length of glow for Photo Luminescent products have evolved. It is possible to have luminous materials that can glow in the dark for hours! after exposure to sunlight for just a few minutes.
