FAQ

What is glow-in-the-dark art?

Glow-in-the-dark art is a type of art that uses special paints that can absorb and emit light, creating a glowing effect in the dark. Glow-in-the-dark art can be made with various techniques.

How Long Will It Glow?

The glow-in-the-dark effect can last up to 12 hours, depending on the light source used to charge it and the duration of charging. For optimal glow, it's recommended to place the art on the sunny side of a room, allowing it to absorb sunlight throughout the day. This ensures it's charged continually and ready to glow brightly by evening.

How does glow-in-the-dark paint work?

Glow-in-the-dark paint works by using phosphors, which are substances that can store and release energy in the form of light. Phosphors can be charged by exposing them to any light source, such as natural light, sunlight, ultraviolet light, etc. When the light source is removed, phosphors will slowly release the stored energy as visible light, creating a glowing effect.

What kind of phosphors do you use for your glow-in-the-dark art?

We use high-quality phosphors that are made of strontium aluminate, which is a type of material that can produce a brighter and longer-lasting glow than the traditional zinc sulfide. Strontium aluminate is also non-toxic, eco-friendly, and durable.

Is the painting resistant to moisture or humidity?

Our paintings are designed to be resistant to typical indoor levels of moisture and humidity. However, for longevity and to maintain the vibrancy of the glow, we recommend hanging them in environments where they won't be exposed to excessive moisture or high humidity levels.

What is the expected lifetime of the glow effect?

With the right care and normal use, our paintings' glow effect is made to last forever. It's important to mention that the glow will be very bright at first. Over time, even with many cycles of charging and discharging, it may get a bit dimmer but will always stay noticeable and beautiful.

Is the dye used in the paintings non-toxic?

Absolutely! We prioritize the safety of our customers. The phosphorescent dye we use in our paintings is certified non-toxic and adheres to all safety standards. You can confidently display our paintings in any living space without concerns about harmful chemicals.

How does one differentiate between phosphorescent and fluorescent paintings? Which one do you use?

The primary difference between phosphorescence and fluorescence lies in the duration and mechanism of their glow after exposure to light.

Fluorescent paintings will glow when exposed to a specific light source, often UV or black light, and will cease to glow immediately once the light source is removed. The glow is typically bright but transient.

Phosphorescent paintings, on the other hand, have the ability to store light energy and release it over a prolonged period, even after the light source is no longer present. This results in a glow-in-the-dark effect that can last up to 12hours, diminishing slowly over time.

At ArtMitun, we utilize phosphorescent materials in our paintings, ensuring a sustained glow that enhances the ambiance of your space even in complete darkness, long after the lights are turned off.

How do I charge my glow-in-the-dark art?

You can charge your glow-in-the-dark by exposing it to any light source for a few minutes. The best light sources are those that emit ultraviolet or blue light, such as black lights, LED lights, fluorescent lights, etc. You can also use a sunlight. Avoid using incandescent or halogen lights, as they may not provide enough energy for your art to glow.
