Glow In Dark
Photoluminescent safety that works without power
GLOWTEK® glow in the dark products absorb energy from natural or artificial light and release it as a visible glow when the lights go out. They mark steps, exits and escape routes during blackouts and at night, with no wiring or electricity.
The range includes glow in the dark anti slip tape, smooth photoluminescent PVC tape, die-cut shapes and aluminum luminous stair nosings. See also our full range of stair treads and nosings.
Choosing glow in the dark safety products
Photoluminescent products charge from natural or artificial light and glow when the lights go out, so they mark steps, exits and obstacles during power failures without wiring. Choose glow in the dark anti slip tape where people walk, smooth glow in the dark PVC tape for marking walls, doors and edges, die-cut glow shapes for arrows and signs, and luminous stair nosings for durable step edges.
Glow performance depends on how much light the product receives before darkness, so install it where it is regularly exposed to light.
Where glow in the dark tape is used
- Stairwells, steps and escape routes
- Exit doors, corridors and handrails
- Loading ramps, dock areas and walkways

Frequently asked questions
How long does glow in the dark tape need to charge?
Our glow in the dark anti slip tape takes approximately 2 hours to charge in natural or artificial light. It stores this energy and releases it gradually as a visible glow when the lights go out.
Does photoluminescent tape need electricity?
No. It is charged by ambient light and works without any power supply or wiring, which makes it useful during blackouts.
Can glow in the dark tape also be anti-slip?
Yes. GLOWTEK® glow in the dark anti slip tape combines a gritted grip surface with a photoluminescent layer, and luminous stair nosings combine an anti-slip surface with glowing strips.
