When it comes to this (bioluminescent emergency lighting), this one is more professional. Let me tell you what this is all about in plain words. Bioluminescent emergency lighting uses some biological materials that can emit light themselves, or is manufactured based on the principles of bioluminescence to provide lighting in emergency situations.
Let’s talk about the advantages
1. Energy sustainability Many bioluminescent materials do not require an external power supply or complex equipment to provide energy. Some things spontaneously generate light sources due to internal chemical reactions, such as fireflies, which rely on their own body functions to emit light. When we use this material for emergency lighting, we don’t need to worry about external energy.
2. It is very safe to use. If you think about it, it does not need to be driven by electricity. There are no safety hazards such as leakage. In some special environments such as petrochemical plant sites or hospital hazardous chemical storage sites that have specific requirements for fire and explosion protection, it has strong application safety and is very reliable.
3. This kind of bioluminescent lighting is also highly environmentally friendly . The raw materials or the manufacturing of the materials themselves cause less environmental pollution. There is no need to consume large amounts of traditional, non-renewable resources such as coal that are easy to harm the earth. Many of the raw materials used can themselves be restored under natural light conditions or recycled. For example, if bacteria are made into luminescent materials, they can continuously maintain their own luminescence when the basic conditions are met.
What are the key points related to production technology?
1. Technical issues in synthesizing bioluminescent materials. Use modern genetic technology to express luminescence-related genes to achieve controllable and efficient conditions. It is necessary to develop and produce new materials that have high-intensity light energy and are relatively stable. For example, extracting luminescent genes from marine organisms to create new materials, but there are a lot of complicated steps involved, which are not ideal and some require more research.
2. How to commercialize. It is necessary to reduce production costs, find cheaper and better production methods, optimize production processes, and control the process of mass production to improve quality. We must also consider selling Bioluminescent Emergency Lighting to the user group. For example, only if the architectural design institute is willing to adopt it can it be widely used in emergency design. The construction engineering team of the hospital considers fire safety and buys this. There are also logistics aspects such as transportation to various parts of the world, how to store the material in the warehouse, whether the material requires specific humidity, temperature and conditions, etc., which must be comprehensively considered.
3. What problems are faced in the market? First of all, users don’t know enough about it. Everyone is resistant to new and unfamiliar technologies, so they are worried about performance. There are also some industry leaders who are deeply rooted in the market because traditional technology applications are not willing to spend the cost to switch to new bioluminescent lighting. It is difficult to promote it. There are also differences between different national and local policies. For example, European policies may have advantages in focusing on the application of sustainable products. However, although Asian countries attach high importance to sustainability, each has its own characteristics and requirements, and it is more complicated to comply with national standards.
Which applications are popular in the market?
Special places : underwater base stations, deep-sea scientific research ships, etc. Seawater conducts electricity, so traditional electric lighting has the risk of leakage. This kind of bioluminescent lighting utilizes the stability of bioluminescence to reliably illuminate in such complex environments, which is a good complement to scientific research and scientific experiment lighting support.
Building safety in public places : airport escape channels, large shopping mall corridor guidance signs, etc. If the power supply is inconvenient at night or there is a power outage, these materials can be used as signage to emit weak but visible light to guide people to a safe place. It is good to avoid crowd chaos and stampede accidents and other losses.

Compare the situation of traditional electric emergency lighting?
The most obvious difference is that when there is no electricity, the traditional problem is that there is electricity. The living thing does not need to be connected to wires or batteries, and it relies on its own natural properties and chemical reactions to light up. Let’s talk about safety. Traditional lighting is like wires that are aging, damaged, and leaking electricity, which can cause fire hazards in the entire building; but biological lighting is a stable light produced by the organism itself, and there is no safety risk like leakage, and it is relatively harmless to the environment. Traditional emergency lights have obvious strobes that are very strong and uncomfortable for a long time, while biological lighting is soft and stable.
Let’s talk about how to solve the problems we encounter every day?
Question: Will bioluminescent materials emit radiation and pose a threat to human health?
Answer: Currently, many studies have found that generally speaking, most of these materials have no radiation risks. In rare cases, there may be minimal residual harmful radiation in synthetic materials. As long as the product has passed national safety certification, it is safe to say that it meets the standards.
Question: It is very expensive to buy these bioluminescent material emergency products. How to judge whether they are high or low?
Answer: Because the technological innovation stage is relatively expensive, but the cost of some new optimized structures has dropped, and the market is gradually expanding and prices are falling. Find a large-scale factory to produce and buy, and the certification company has approved it. The price is stable and the quality can be judged to be reliable. Some manufacturers only engage in scientific research and small batches, and the price is very high, which may not necessarily be good.
Question: Do these materials require special maintenance and daily storage?
Answer: Actually, it depends on the specific type of raw materials. Some require a humid, cold environment and some natural temperature. It’s okay to have any requirements; so when you buy the corresponding product, you will definitely be given information and instructions to introduce it to the best venue to ensure brightness performance. Don’t worry.
Question: Are the luminous intensities of products of different sizes the same, such as large building signage and small personal keychains?
Answer: Definitely different! According to the production and design requirements, large-scale building instructions require strong long-distance visibility, so the light will be very high; small keychain decorations, for example, can adjust the intensity of the weak light to facilitate the identification of the key chain, which is a good design for the original scene!
From my personal point of view, the future is indeed bright. Although there are still some difficulties to overcome, I can feel that technological progress will break through those limitations and move into a wider range of scenarios.
