Litroenergy
is
a
patent
pending
designed
light
source
material
that
emits
light
for
12
plus
years-
without
electricity
or
sun
exposure!
Our
development/design
of
long-life,
self-luminous
micro
particles
called
Litrospheres
(non-toxic)
emit
light
continuously
for
12
plus
years
(half-life
point)
without
any
exposure
to
a
light
or
other
energy
(not
effected
by
cold
or
heat).
This
extremely
low
cost
material
offers
24/7
light,
which
can
be
injection
molded
or
added
to
paint.
It
is
5,000lb
crush
resistant,
stable
and
constant
light
source
(gives
off
no
U.V.
rays).
It
is
designed
to
give
off
almost
any
color
of
light
desired.
Our
goal
is
to
mass
produce
this
material
and
supply
OEM’s.
Litroenergy
has
potential
to
save
billions
of
dollars
in
energy
costs
world-wide.
Litroenergy
surpasses
all
known
available
lighting
options
for
cost/durability/reliability
(12+
years)
and
safety.
The
uses
are
unlimited
as
the
imagination;
however
we
predict
the
safety
aspects
to
be
the
front
runner
in
application
(light
safety
tape,
lighted
life
rafts/flotation
equipment,
light
safety
markings/equipment,
etc.).
Supplemental
light
source
will
be
second
as
the
material
is
bright
and
one
can
read
by
it,
if
you
have
some
Litroenergy
lighting
you
will
not
need
to
always
turn
on
a
light
source
that
requires
electricity.
The
use
of
Litroenergy
in
toys,
sports/camping
equipment,
bikes
and
novelty
uses
will
be
close
in
applications.
The
fill
rate
of
Litroenergy
micro
particles
in
plastic
injection
molding
material
or
paint
is
about
20%.
The
cost
to
light
up
8
½
x
11
piece
of
plastic
1/8”
thick
is
about
.35
cents.
We
appreciate
this
opportunity
to
introduce
our
patent
pending
designed
Litroenergy
light
source
material
to
the
world.

I love product design. I enjoy creating something fun and useful. The new light source material shown, Litroenergy can give many product designers new life to their ideas, current products that can now light up without any electricity or sun exposure! (how fun is that?!)
