Information
Luminous dials and hands
The paint on the dial and hands helps you with reading the time in a dark place. The luminous paint
stores light (daylight or artificial light) and glows in a dark place.
It is free from any radioactive substance or any other material harmful to a human body or
environment.
• The light emission gradually becomes weaker as time passes.
• The duration of the light (“glow”) will vary depending on the brightness, types of and distance
from a light source, exposure time, and the amount of the paint.
• The paint may not glow and/or may dissipate quickly if exposure to light was not sufficient.
