Swiss Super-LumiNova (and Japanese too!)
While the patent for Super-LumiNova expired in 2014, the joint venture of Nemoto in Japan and RC Tritec in Switzerland continues to improve on the technology, and file new patents to stay one step ahead in the lume market. The light intensity of today’s Super-LumiNova is almost double what it was twenty years ago! One of the latest innovations are the two new afterglow colours – white and violet – which add to the existing green and blue. Lumicast is another. This composite material is luminescent in the mass and, rather than manual applications, can be cast and riveted to produce sharper angles.
