Found this on the scooter scoop and thought I would pass it along. Lightroenergy is an amazing new source of illumination which can produce a bright glow for up to a dozen years without any electricity or exposure to sunlight Litrospheres are tiny self-luminous (read RADIOACTIVE) particles which can be injection molded or embedded into paints. Brightness is said to be about the same as that of a 20-watt light bulb, but I’d imagine that would depend on how much surface area is covered with the particles. The material is extremely cost-effective, covering an 8.5 x 11 surface for about 35 cents. The particles can even be customized to give off just about any light color. If you want to be seen this might work.

Cool, increase the background radiation levels in my living space, what will they think of next to try and get rid of millions of tons of radioactive waste. It is pretty interesting though.

I am old enough to remember the hell that was visited on all the young ladies working at the Radium Dial Company. They painted the glowing numbers and other indicators on wristwatches and other time pieces... amazingly, practically every one that had that job for more than about a year either died from or was permanently disabled from Radiation sickness! Think I'll pass on the light show, heck, I didn't even like having totally depleted uranium ammo around me!
