LuminoKrom®, luminescent paint for pedestrian safety
Photoluminescent paint for soft mobility users
Would you like to enhance the visibility of pedestrians on a walkway area without street lighting?
We recommend our LuminoKrom® Almond Green product. Our luminescent paint creates luminous markings at night for improved pedestrian mobility in the city.
The use of luminescent ground markings enhances the visibility ans safety of sidewalks, footpaths and crosswalkfacilities throughout the night.
LuminoKrom® markings are luminous for over 10 hours and recharge in just a few minutes, even with artificial lighting.
Making night-time travel safer
Many walkers need to get around at night: late-night exits from sports centers or community halls, journeys between an urban center and a student housing area, returns from nightlife centers (cinemas, restaurants), workers with staggered working hours....
LuminoKrom® luminescent signage makes pedestrian paths safer, especially in municipalities that switch off artificial lighting for part of the night, or in insufficiently lit areas in the city. LuminoKrom® beaconing takes over from street lighting, acting like a luminous breadcrumb trail for pedestrians.
Walkers are ALERTED of crashes zones or obstacles such as dock or waterway edges, presence of street furniture, presence of infrastructure on roads...
Users are GUIDED at night and their vigilance is reinforced by a better distinction of the space: curb, sidewalk, dedicated path, crosswalk.
Types of markings to improve safety and experience for walkers
Guidance and safety in pedestrian areas
Crosswalks
LuminoKrom® can be applied to a crosswalk (on private and industrial sites) to make them visible at night or in low-light conditions. Photoluminescent strips on crosswalk enable drivers or users of other vehicles to see the crossing area clearly, even in the dark, helping to reduce crashes and accidents.
Stairs and ramps
To prevent falls and accidents, LuminoKrom® can be applied to the edges of stair treads and ramps in industrial and public areas, making them more visible in low-light conditions. When the environment in question is plunged into darkness, our beacons highlight areas and obstacles likely to be dangerous for users. The luminescence acts as a warning to pedestrians, naturally heightening their vigilance.
Maritime area, quay, port, river
Infrastructure located near water must comply with strict standards, and LuminoKrom® can help meet these requirements by providing clear, visible signage, reducing crashes for users of port or waterfront facilities. Facilities close to the water, such as the edges of docks, rivers, harbors or boat ramps, can be marked with LuminoKrom to indicate areas at risk or potential obstacles, even in low light or bad weather.
Alternative to constant lighting
Using LuminoKrom®, municipalities can
reduce or switch off lighting in certain areas
of the city. This saves energy and
reduces the carbon footprint.
Street furniture signage
Bollards and posts, which are often used to demarcate pedestrian areas or prevent parking, can be coated with LuminoKrom® to make them visible in the dark.
LuminoKrom®, as a photoluminescent paint technology, offers a number of significant advantages for making access safer for people with disabilities. It is an invaluable asset for local authorities and communities in complying with accessibility standards and regulations, which often require floor markings to be clearly visible and distinct both day and night.
- Improved night-time visibility: For the visually impaired or those with reduced vision, LuminoKrom® helps to better distinguish the contours and trajectories of paths, ramps or stairs, especially in low-light conditions. The paint "glows in the dark", allowing markings to be seen clearly and crisply, reducing the danger of falls or accidents.
- Ramp markings: LuminoKrom® can be applied to wheelchair ramps, allowing better visibility of accessible paths, especially in low-light conditions or at night. This reduces the risk of falls or accidental path deviations.
- Danger zone marking: Potentially dangerous areas for wheelchair users, such as stairs, kerbs, or areas with steep slopes, can be marked with photoluminescent paint to clearly indicate the danger of wheelchair falls, especially in the dark..
- Facilitating orientation: For people with cognitive or sensory impairments, LuminoKrom®'s ability to maintain continuous visibility helps them to find their way around in space. This is particularly useful in environments where lighting may be insufficient, or in the event of a power cut. Inside buildings, LuminoKrom® can be applied to floors or walls to indicate the most suitable paths for wheelchair users, particularly in emergency situations where rapid evacuation is required.
Benefits for pedestrian facilities
LuminoKrom® offers innovative possibilities for transforming pedestrian infrastructures into dynamic, interactive and safe places in the streets. By combining safety and aesthetics, LuminoKrom® animated markings can make the pedestrian experience more engaging.
These creative applications can be particularly effective in revitalizing public spaces, promoting events and encouraging social interaction in urban settings.
Animation and creative marking
- Aesthetic and educational markings: LuminoKrom® can be used to create aesthetic or educational markings on the sidewalk, such as light patterns or directional signs for nocturnal tourist or educational streets. This can make night-time walks more enjoyable and informative.
- Themed routes: Luminescent signage can also be designed to tell a story, making practice of walk more engaging and informative.
- Artistic expressions: Artists can use LuminoKrom® to create luminous works on the sidewalk or pedestrian walkway. These works can change appearance as daylight fades, offering a new artistic dimension to public space at night.
- Encouraging night-time walking: By making pedestrian spaces safer at night, LuminoKrom® encourages walk activities, even after dark, contributing to better communities health.
- Integration into urban mobility plan: Municipalities can integrate LuminoKrom® into their plans to make walking safer, especially in areas where users are vulnerable, such as near a school with children, an hospital and retirement home.
- Greater safety at night: By illuminating spaces in the dark, LuminoKrom® can help create safe spaces where residents feel comfortable meeting even after the sun has set. This encourages social interaction in places like squares, parks or around community buildings.
- Creating attractive, convivial environments: LuminoKrom® can be used to highlight certain key areas (squares, playgrounds for children, fitness trails, etc.). This discreet yet aesthetic illumination creates a special atmosphere that invites residents to gather around these areas, fostering the creation of a shared space that encourages encounters.
- Encouraging night-time activities: In small villages and rural areas, social activities after dark are often limited by lack of lighting. Photoluminescent paint can be applied to footpaths, squares or school surrounding areas, facilitating evening movement and encouraging gatherings such as night markets, parties or open-air cultural events
