Abstract: Wall plates for accommodating light switches, electrical outlets, telephone and data jacks, cable TV jacks and other electrical connections and devices are contemplated, wherein the wall plates are partially or entirely formed of rare earth materials to provide a luminescent property that emits a highly visible glowing light in dark or near dark conditions and environments. In a preferred embodiment, one or more rare earth elements are combined with a plastic composition for molding the wall plates so that the entire wall plate emits the glowing light. In another embodiment, a rare earth composite material is applied to a portion or the entire exposed surface of the previously molded wall plates. In still a further embodiment of the invention, the wall plates are molded of a plastic composition or other suitable composition and one or more inserts formed of rare earth materials are fitted to the molded wall plates.

Abstract: A raised road marker is sized and configured to comply with Department of Transportation requirements and other government regulations and includes a top surface, opposite angled side faces and opposite ends and a bottom surface structured to be bonded to a road surface. The raised road marker is partially or entirely formed of rare earth materials to provide a luminescent property that emits a highly visible glowing light in dark or near dark conditions and environments. In a preferred embodiment, the raised road marker is molded of a plastic composition or other suitable composition and includes one or more inserts or coatings of the rare earth materials on the top side as well as possibly the opposite ends. The opposite angled sides may be fitted with light reflector strips.
