LuminoKrom® had the pleasure of taking part in the latest edition of the Atlantica trade show, which was held in Niort, France, from 8 to 10 October 2023. Here's a look back at three days of sharing and exchange.
Atlantica, the first trade show dedicated to the outdoor hotel industry
The Atlantica trade show is a professional event dedicated to the outdoor hotel industry in France. Its main concept is to bring together the key players in the camping, outdoor accommodation and outdoor tourism industries.
It provides a platform for professionals to showcase their products and services, exchange ideas, discuss industry trends and develop their professional network. Exhibitors typically include companies providing equipment, services, technologies and solutions for campsites, leisure parks and outdoor accommodation.
Present our illuminated beaconing solution in the hotel sector
The Atlantica trade show gives visitors the chance to discover the latest innovations in the outdoor hospitality sector, take part in themed conferences and workshops, and meet industry experts.
It was an opportunity for us to present our photoluminescent paint to visitors and showcase the benefits of our signage in the tourist industry. In a constantly evolving industry, it's important to find new technologies that can help infrastructures evolve and improve the daily lives of users.
Photoluminescence technology to improve tourist facilities
Illuminated signage in the outdoor hospitality sector offers a number of important advantages for campsites and outdoor accommodation establishments.
Pedestrian safety
Our photoluminescent paint helps to improve safety by clearly indicating paths and stairways for pedestrians, as well as emergency exits and risk areas in the absence of light.
Our markings help prevent accidents and facilitate evacuation in emergencies or simply in the absence of artificial lighting.
Orientation
Our signage solution helps customers find their way around a campsite or leisure park more easily, enabling them to find their campsite pitch, toilet facilities, play areas and other facilities.
It also makes it easier for guests to find their way around the campsite or leisure park after sunset, which can improve their overall experience.
Safety of soft mobility
At campsites that allow soft mobility (bicycles, scooters or other two-wheelers), appropriate lighting can help avoid collisions and maintain safety on the campsite's internal greenways.
Environmental protection
Using photoluminescent paint instead of artificial lighting reduces the environmental footprint and can be seen as a commitment to sustainable development. Our technology requires no electricity consumption, as it recharges indefinitely in daylight or artificial lighting without tiring.
More energy-efficient, LuminoKrom® reduces energy costs while still providing a light source.
Our luminescent paint, used in the outdoor hospitality industry, offers significant benefits in terms of safety, wayfinding and energy efficiency. It helps to improve the overall customer experience and maintain a safe and welcoming environment at campsites and outdoor accommodation establishments.
Are you looking for a lighting solution for your facility?
Photoluminescence is a physical process whereby a material absorbs photons from a light source and re-emits them. To achieve this, the body is subjected to radiation of varying intensity, which excites the electrons present in the substance. These electrons store the light, store the energy and release it when there is a total absence of light.
Thanks to photoluminescence, the substance can be recharged indefinitely by daylight or artificial lighting. Our LuminoKrom® photoluminescent paint exploits exactly this physical phenomenon.
What are the advantages of photoluminescence?
Installations marked with photoluminescent paint require no special maintenance or servicing. Only standard road maintenance is required.
What's more, this type of marking is totally autonomous, requiring no charge or power source. So it's an economical and sustainable solution.
How long does paint luminescence last?
The paint itself emits for a very long time. The most important parameter to take into account is the length of time its light emission is perceptible to the human eye.
In an outdoor environment devoid of any light, we consider that the eye can perceive light emission up to around 8 millicandela/m², i.e. after 10 hours of emission. If the environment presents light pollution (full moon, proximity of public lighting), this threshold will be raised and the duration of visibility will be shortened.
Indoors, in absolute darkness, the perception threshold is much lower, and you can observe the luminescence of our paint for over 12 hours.
What surfaces can LuminoKrom® paint be applied to?
Our LuminoKrom® paint range can be applied to a variety of substrates and materials. We offer different references to suit every circumstance, whether for indoor or outdoor marking, for example.
Our road and urban paint references are ideal for use on concrete, cement, bitumen and asphalt mixes. A waterborne version is also available for interior applications.Concernant les applications sur du métal, il faudra choisir notre peinture LuminoKrom® pour Métal.
Our luminescent paint is applied over a white primer, so you can apply LuminoKrom® to any surface where the white paint will adhere.
