  Safety & Visibility

Tons of glow in the dark products can be found in areas where there is dim lighting: stairwells of multi-story buildings, ships, planes, etc. Other likely candidates for glow in the dark materials are facilities that are in operation 24 hours per day (refineries, prisons, manufacturing plants), especially where the activities conducted at the facility are dangerous and/or conducted outdoors. Also, emergency facilities such as hospitals, fire/police stations, and military bases are good candidates for glow in the dark applications.
