MPK Paint that Glows for 12 Years
Posted by: Sierra Monica B. in Gadgets

The US company MPK, specialized in glow-in-the-dark materials, as they say, has invented a new type of substance similar with paint, with fluorescence characteristic, that can glow in the dark for over 12 years long.

This new type of paint is based on Lightroenergy, which seems to be a powerful source of illumination that produces a very bright glow without the need for electricity or sunlight sources.
The amazing paint consists of litrospheres, which are extremely small self-luminous particles that are capable to produce brightness comparable with the one coming from a 20W bulb.
Another amazing fact is that this substance is very cost-effective - 35 cents for an 8.5 x 11 inches surface – and more than that, these particles are customizable to spread different light colors, without limits.
Update:
We have contacted MPK and this is what they've told us:
The approximative cost to light up 8.5 x 11 x 1/8" of material is of 35 cents.
The Litroenergy samples will be available within 90 days, while the mass production will start in 6-9 months; and the output of the Litroenergy is now equal to that of a 40 watt bulb.
