[Sud Ouest] Night lighting: OliKrom paint makes road markings luminous at night
At a time when the phenomenon of city lights going out at night is on the rise, energy sobriety has a safe answer: LuminoKrom, the paint that lights up roads and streets. Olikrom could well take advantage of the quest for energy savings by local authorities and businesses to expand its field of activity. The Pessac-based company is currently in Quebec, as part of a regional economic mission led by the Conseil régional, Team France Export Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Bleu Blanc Tech Montréal and CCI France. There, it is exploring the market and, if successful, looking into the possibility of setting up a production unit.
LuminoKrom® illuminates road markings in Pessac for innovative night lighting
In Pessac, our LuminoKrom® photoluminescent paint is being deployed to improve the night-time visibility of road markings. By capturing daylight and releasing it after dark, our innovation makes it safer for cyclists and pedestrians to move around without the need for additional street lighting. This ecological and sustainable solution is part of an energy transition approach, reducing electricity consumption while ensuring effective lighting markings.
This project demonstrates the commitment of local authorities to adopting modern, sustainable solutions to improve the safety and legibility of road infrastructure. Pessac is a concrete example of the positive impact of LuminoKrom® in the development of intelligent and responsible infrastructures.
In an article in Sud Ouest, LuminoKrom® revolutionises the lighting of road markings
In an article published by Sud Ouest, our LuminoKrom® paint is highlighted for its deployment on road markings in Pessac. The article describes how our technology provides improved night-time visibility for road users, particularly in areas with limited or no street lighting.
The article also highlights the environmental and economic benefits of our solution, which reduces dependence on conventional lighting systems while ensuring that infrastructures are easier to read. This project, which illustrates the town's commitment to safe, soft mobility, could inspire other local authorities to adopt LuminoKrom® to modernise their infrastructure in a sustainable way.
