LumiBrite is a luminous paint that is completely harmless to human beings and natural
environment, containing no noxious materials such as radioactive substance.
LumiBrite is a newly-developed luminous paint that absorbs the light energy of the sunlight and
lighting apparatus in a short time and stores it to emit light in the dark.
For example, if exposed to a light of more than 500 lux for approximately 10 minutes, LumiBrite
can emit light for 5 to 8 hours.
Please note, however, that, as LumiBrite emits the light it stores, the luminance level of the light
decreases gradually over time. The duration of the emitted light may also differ slightly
depending on such factors as the brightness of the place where the watch is exposed to light
and the distance from the light source to the watch.
