  • Publication number: 20250052401
    Abstract: The invention relates to photoluminescent signs, in particular to signs in which one or more light emitting diodes (LEDs) emit light that excites one or more photoluminescent (PL) elements. In one aspect, a sign may include one or more photoluminescent elements; one or more light emitting diodes (LEDs) arranged to excite the one or more photoluminescent elements; and circuitry arranged for connection to an AC power supply and supplying power to the LEDs.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 7297388
    Abstract: A method of applying photo-luminescent pigment to a substrate, such as an aluminum or metal strip containing channels or depressions, includes preparing a dry powder formulation including a photo-luminescent pigment and a carrier/fixer, depositing the dry powder formulation onto the substrate surface, and heating to fuse the dry powder formulation to the substrate surface. The photo-luminescent pigment can be applied using an apparatus which includes a hopper adapted to contain a dry powder formulation, one or more orifices adapted to allow transfer of the dry powder formulation from the hopper to a substrate surface and a guide rail system for locating the substrate surface in both a fixed horizontal plane and a fixed vertical plane below the hopper and orifice.
