Photoluminescent Linemarking
Create safer journeys
with glow-in-the-dark linemarking
OmniGrip Photoluminescent Linemarking (PL) uses Smarterlite technology to improve visibility in low-light conditions by absorbing natural or artificial light, and releasing a visible glow at night.
Ideal for rural roads, sharp bends, blackspots, shared user paths and car parks; where conventional lighting is costly or impractical.
FEATURES
Enhance visibility in low-light conditions
Glows for hours without power
Stores sunlight, headlights, or indoor light, then releases a visible glow at night
Improves safety in rural and unlit areas
Enhances wayfinding on curves, bends, and blackspots where crashes are more likely
Zero energy use
No power, wiring, or poles needed – reducing installation and operating costs
Quick, cold-applied installation
Fast, safe, and low-disruption application with no hot works
Indoor & outdoor performance
Works on asphalt, concrete, and bitumen for open roads or enclosed facilities
Durable and low-maintenance
Easy to clean and long-lasting under traffic and weather

signage
Maintain visibility of critical safety information during power loss.
How Photoluminescence Works
Photoluminescence absorbs natural or artificial light, stores it, and automatically releases it as a visible glow in darkness. This helps road users, cyclists, pedestrians, and workers safely navigate low-light environments without the need for electricity or emergency power. Lines recharge continuously from daylight, artificial lighting, or even vehicle headlights.
Two options are available:
WhiteLite™
Appears closer to standard white linemarking during daylight hours. Offers a softer night-time glow.
PureLite™
Has a brighter night-time glow and a slightly more off-white appearance in daylight. Best suited for very dark environments where glow performance is critical.

Frequently
Asked Questions
I have questions about…
Is PL Linemarking compliant with road safety or regulatory standards?
Yes, the base linemarking systems (e.g. cold-applied plastic, thermoplastic) are compliant with road agency standards, and Smarterlite PL Paint is used as a performance-enhancing layer
What surfaces can it be applied to?
We can apply linemarking to concrete, asphalt, and bitumen – both indoors and outdoors
Does PL linemarking replace electric lighting?
While it doesn’t fully replace lighting in all applications, it’s a highly effective alternative or supplement in low-light areas, black spots, car parks, and paths where installing power is impractical or too costly.
Can you help design the layout for my site?
Yes. We can work with your team or provide a full site layout based on your operational needs and safety requirements.
Can it be used in emergency exit routes or indoor settings?
Absolutely. It’s ideal for guiding people to safety during power outages in industrial, commercial, and multi-story car park environments.
Does it come in different colours or brightness levels
We offer WhiteLite™ and PureLite™ options with different levels of whiteness in daylight and brightness at night.
Do you offer after-hours or weekend installation?
Yes. We offer flexible scheduling to minimise disruption – including nights and weekends where required
How quickly can PL linemarking be installed?
Most projects can be completed in a few hours or a day. Drying times vary depending on the paint system and weather but are usually fast and traffic-ready within hours.
How is it installed?
It is cold-applied or combined with approved road marking systems. Our team installs it without hot works, making it quick, safe, and cost-effective.
How long does the photoluminescent effect last at night?
The glow duration depends on light exposure during the day. Typically up to 8–10 hours after sufficient charging.
Does it need sunlight to work, or will artificial lighting charge it?
It charges from both natural sunlight and artificial lighting (like indoor lights or vehicle headlights). It can be used effectively indoors and outdoors.
How long does it last before needing reapplication?
The longevity depends on surface wear, UV exposure, and traffic levels. In most applications, it lasts several years and can be refreshed as needed.
Is it slippery when wet?
No. Our photoluminescent linemarkings are formulated to maintain slip resistance in wet conditions.
