It sounds like a Raver’s paradise, but there is a very practical side to walkways that glow. In urban areas, where finding less wasteful solutions for safety are an endless pursuit, glowing sidewalks could take a bite out of energy budgets. They could also reduce our light pollution. Glowing cement, retains 98% or better of its glow year over year, lasting for 20 years with current technology. It’s currently applied to driveways, walkways and pool decks, but don’t freak out if the ground beneath your feet is glowing before the end of 2017. You’ve not been slipped something in your drink. You’re walking on glowing pavement.
