That would be sweet!!!

I had an idea of putting glow in the dark strontium powders in clear coat and blasting it with a UV led. Too bad this stuff requires a professional to apply

I can't even get decent reflective paint. If this is available then something is very wrong. It looks great, but I need to check it's not an april fools joke

BUMP. Just wondered if LumiLor had hit the ES Bible yet. Co still going strong on Face Plant (sp? meant "Facebook") as Darkside Scientific.

I just bought some of these in preparation for the time change and impending darkness. They seem to get good reviews on Amazon. I will put up some kind of posting after I put some on and take pics (more options on Amazon):

I've wondered how many lumens those surfaces put out per square inch, based on the video, it doesn't seem very bright but maybe it gets brighter. Reflective surfaces certainly don't hurt, but for my money, www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0030BS30K/ something like this, radbot 1000, seems hard to beat if you really want to be seen. A flashing 1w LED will probably be spotted even in a blizzard or fog. There are brighter options, but you have to start to wonder about being obnoxious, even a 10w directional LED headlight seems to bother some people.

However, for the cool factor, something like lumilor seems like a winner.
