The secret of super brightness: Why is Super-LumiNova ten times brighter than previous luminous materials?
Glow-in-the-dark clocks and watches are undoubtedly treasures in the hearts of every watch lover. However, with the progress of the times, the old luminous materials have gradually been replaced by emerging high-tech materials. Super-LumiNova, a non-radioactive luminescent pigment based on barium zirconate, has become the new favorite in the current market due to its excellent brightness and long durability. This article takes a closer look at how Super-LumiNova achieves this magical brightness.
Advances in luminescent materials
Super-LumiNova is up to ten times brighter than earlier zinc sulfide materials, making it unique in the market. This dazzling property comes from its special chemical composition, especially when it is combined with suitable dopants such as Europium and Dysprosium, it becomes a phosphorescent material that can maintain its luminescence for a long time.
Super-LumiNova is like a rechargeable photovoltaic cell. When activated by a light source such as sunlight, LED light or ultraviolet light, it can continue to glow in the dark for several hours.
History
The story of Super-LumiNova began in 1941 when Nemoto & Co., Ltd., founded by Japanese Kenzo Nemoto, focused on the processing of luminous paint and gradually developed its light source technology in the watch and aviation instrument industries. The invention of Super-LumiNova is attributed to the employees of Nemoto, who developed this safe alternative in 1993 to the radioactive materials that were once used.
Color Variations and Levels
Over time, RC Tritec AG has developed a variety of emission colors. In addition to the classic C3 green, there is also a blue-green variant, BGW9, both of which are extremely bright. The design of these colors is not only based on technology and the light sensitivity of the human eye, but also on aesthetic needs.
The colors presented by Super-LumiNova are not chosen randomly, but focus on the best visual experience of the human eye under different lighting conditions.
Stability and Application
Super-LumiNova can theoretically maintain its luminous properties permanently after multiple charges and discharges. Although stable at high temperatures, prolonged contact with water or high humidity can affect its light emission intensity, so it must be used with caution.
This material is widely used not only in watches and timers, but also in different fields such as instruments, jewelry and safety signs. The diversity of these applications makes Super-LumiNova a shining pearl in modern lighting technology.
The future of energy
With the pursuit of safety and long-term effectiveness, Super-LumiNova represents the development direction of future luminescent materials. Its non-toxic and environmentally friendly properties make it an ideal choice for today's consumers. After comparing the old radioactive materials and other alternatives, we can't help but ask: What kind of revolutionary changes will the future luminous technology bring to meet higher safety and aesthetic requirements?
