Luminous Green is a flexible TPU that charges under daylight or a lamp and glows once the lights go out, which puts it to work on rather more than novelty prints. Think pull tabs on a load-shedding torch, markers on a dark stairwell, trim on night-riding bicycle gear, or edge pieces on equipment handled after hours. In daylight it reads as a pale green, so parts never look out of place in use. The glow pigment makes it a little more abrasive than plain TPU, so a hardened nozzle is worth fitting if you print it regularly. Made in South Africa.
