Glow tape uses SPOT-LITE glow film, a non-radioactive chemical light source incorporated into a flexible vinyl film.

This chemical light source is designed to absorb energy from any ambient light source-including sunlight, incandescent light and flourescent lamps. Once the light source is removed, SPOT-LITE glow film emits a light of it’s own.

As little as 3-10 seconds of exposure to light is enough to excite this chemical reaction and there is no limit to the number of times the product can be recharged.
