    Interesting possibilities with glow paint. I wonder how long it remains glowing after dark.

    Wow! I have trouble believing it would glow for very long though.

    I think that means for my shady yard that it might glow for 20 minutes.

    Hard to believe paint in a spray can could glow like that. I once bought a can of chrome paint to turn a bowling ball into shiny yard art and was VERY disappointed with the outcome. I think this might be a similar letdown, but would love to hear from someone that has actually used it.

    Test? Did someone say test? :) I was thinking, as a photosensitive paint it may have uses as an enhancer for LED's. LED's have a small beam angle for light, i.e. turn a LED at an angle and the light almost disappears. But paint on a surface acting as a reflector and a LED acting as the light source may work to enhance the output of visible light. It might be worth a try.
