How GlowMark™ products create massive energy cost savings and reduce carbon emissions providing a staggering ROI, (Return on investment)

Many so called low energy or money saving conventional lighting and solar powered lighting products contain very harmful and dangerous toxic chemicals which are costing governments millions every year in their disposal costs once these products no longer work; and which are often being deposited in land-fill waste dumping sites and which are also taking up more space on the planet, often emitting invisible gases which cannot be seen or detected by humans.

Consider how many times a year you need to change or replace a light bulb, LED, battery or solar unit because many of these products often suffer from component failures.

When you purchase install and use GlowMark™ products none of the above problems apply, we know through rigorous research that there is no light bulb, LED or so called energy saving lights which will last or work for more than 5 years with no component failure of maintenance required; and none of which come with a 5 years manufacturers guarantee! GlowMark™ however does!

How GlowMark™ products provide the end user with enormously measurable cost savings

Typical LED & Solar lighting units can range in average price from between £20-£650 GBP per unit, plus installation, running costs, maintenance and component failures.
The GlowMark™ Arrow with Standard Base Rim retails for £5.62 RRP per unit with no/minimal installation costs and no running or maintenance costs; and the GlowMark™ Arrow 3m Reflective Base Rim Model retails for £6.87 RRP per unit (for Road use we recommend use of the 3M Reflective Model Base Rim).

A Typical installation comparison GlowMark™ Verses LED Lighting

Therefore to light a pathway 10m long with LED lighting would cost anything upwards of £1000 plus ongoing electric, running and maintenance costs.
To light the same pathway with GlowMark™ would cost in the region of £200. That is staggering £800 difference in the purchase price with no further costs involved.

As you can clearly see there are many measurable advantages you will make by using GlowMark™ products which will also immediately provide the end user a massive 400% Saving on product purchase costs alone, as opposed to purchasing and using much higher costing conventional lighting systems which are all consuming huge amounts of electric.                                                                                   
We all know that electricity costs have risen by an average 14% this year within the UK and EU and they will continue to do so with the ongoing costs of rising inflation.

The Scientific Facts about GlowMark™

GlowMark™ Technical Evaluation Testing Report
The active component in the GlowMark™ Arrow and all other GlowMark™ products is the optical quality lens containing our unique Crystal Glow Compound, SGCMKII. These crystals have been specially treated with the result that they absorb light and then emit a soft glow for many hours afterwards. In practical testing, after only 8 minutes of exposure to daylight, a GlowMark™ marker will glow for 48 hours, i.e. more than enough to last throughout the night.

GlowMark™ Arrows are guaranteed to glow for 5 years, but in practice last much longer.

Scientific Testing
The GlowMark™ has been evaluated by the German Institute for Standardization (Deutsches Institut f|r Normung e.V., or DIN) under their 67510 standard.

DIN 67510 Testing and Results. All measurements of the GlowMark™ were taken in total darkness. It is important to understand this distinction when trying to compare an absolute DIN measurement with the apparent luminance perceived in low ambient lighting. These differences in scientific luminance vs. practical luminance are explained below.

A GlowMark™ unit was given an 8 minute exposure to a xenon source. The luminance value was then measured in millicandela per square meter (mcd/m2) and recorded against a time axis measured in minutes.

The DIN 67510 results for GlowMark™ showed that according to the DIN 67510 standard a photo luminescence at or below: .03 mcd/m2 are virtually undetectable to the human eye. For all intents and purposes, a photo luminescent pigment has stopped glowing at that minimal level. Extrapolation of the data actually suggests that the GlowMark™ reaches 0.3 mcd/m2 at approximately 4000 minutes, or 66 hours.


Scientific Luminance:
Scientifically speaking, the GlowMark™ will glow for approximately 2 days and 9 hours (a total of 66 hours) after only an 8 minute exposure to natural daylight. If this photo luminescent "return on investment" is broken down into percentages, we see that the GlowMark™ has a laboratory efficiency of approximately 50,000%

Practical Luminance:
Testing in a multitude of real world lighting conditions from night time to a heavily shaded tree-lined walking trail at noon, has revealed a perceived glow time less than the DIN 67510 result but still excellent. The GlowMark™ has an actual perceived, and therefore useful, glow cycle of about 720 minutes (12 hours) after only an 8 minute exposure to natural daylight. 
That is a practical efficiency of around 9,000%.                                                                                                                  
In other words, the GlowMark™ Arrow lens has stored enough energy to emit an easily perceived bright glow that will last throughout the night, including late evening and early mornings, after only 8 minutes exposure to normal daylight or internal ambient light sources.

Conclusion

GlowMark™ innovative carbon neutral products have been designed and developed in Synergy with our companies own green and clean energy concept proposals which we know through calculated and measured statistics that we have researched and stored in our data base, use of our technology can make a huge difference to rising global environmental concerns. 

Therefore we know that the use of our products can have an enormous worldwide impact on reducing greenhouse gases which are causing global warming. We believe this methodology will further enable massive reductions of carbon emissions within all of the high end energy consumption sectors which annually create billions of tones of carbon emissions through increasing electricity being consumed by them all; and which as we all realise are raising continually at an increasingly alarming annual rate.

Many savvy businesses are now taking environmental and economically responsible measures to reduce energy consumption creating cost effective sustainability within their companies. And a big percentage of businesses are now aiming to improve their company’s image to be compliant with new corporate responsibility programmes and government initiatives because they are supportive of lowering their energy costs and becoming greener.

Fire Safety and GlowMark™ technology Fire retardant breakthrough

Please view the detailed information and reports below regarding our new innovative tactical safety marker technology and product lines for GlowMark™. 
GlowMark™ believe that Fire Institutions and Fire advisory consultants will all find the information to be of great interest for improving safety levels to guide humans to exit points during the evacuation of all buildings and structures; and particularly for Fire Fighters who have to enter smoke filled buildings and industrial areas when there is a fire or incident they have to attend to.

GlowMark SGCMKII™ Glow compound is also fire retardant and even when the plastic components that encase it had melted at 170ยบ Fahrenheit the Glow compound was not set alight or effected by fire and heat and was still clearly visible and glowing for many hours after.
View Tactical Imaging test report for full information about a very significant breakthrough in Fire safety Technology for helping people escape and to find safely exits during a fire in a building or structure; and which also helps fire-fighters to see where they are going when entering into a smoke filled building, because GlowMark™ technology can also be seen through smoke and fog indoors and outdoors. 

Now imagine the immensely higher safety levels that our products and technology will create, which can aid and help humans to avoid tripping stumbling or falling down a stairway and other hazardous obsticles within areas which are filled with smoke in a building evacuation; we know that stairways have to be used to evacuate a building because the lifts become inoperable due to power being cut-off for safety reasons . 
In addition to this, the dual aspect of the 3M Brand base rim reflective tape which is applied to the edges of the GlowMark™  Arrow Safety Marker base rims will also reflect light back from a fireman’s flashlight, which is another important tactical advantage for fire-fighters when entering a building during a fire, helping them to see where they are going in both the dark and through smoke.  

Also the high Ultra-Violet resistances of our colour base rims means they will not fade with sunlight exposure for long amounts of time and can identify the 5 hazardous levels both indoors and outdoors with their 5 different colour base rims which are used by emergency services such as police, fire-fighters, paramedics and military and comply to E.U Duty of care policies and compliances for both Fire Safety and all other Safety requirements. 

GlowMark™ Uses: Fire Safety escape routes & Exit markings, corridors, pathways, stairways, bridges, tunnels, public areas in towns cities and rural areas, train stations, airports, bus stations, ports, docks, harbours, canals and tow paths, bridle ways, cycle routes; places of worship, sports stadiums, shopping malls, cinemas, nightclubs, car parking indoors and out of doors, in fact anywhere humans can walk, inside or outside. GlowMark™ Safety products provide a low cost, easy to install free of maintenance and running costs universal tactical safety marker system.

Please click the hyper links below to show you further reports and information carried out by Tactical Imaging with GlowMark´s™ unique technology view: http://www.glowmark.net/resources/TacticalImagingReportofGlowMark.pdf

In addition please also view Tactical Imaging´s PowerPoint presentation which shows buildings plan layouts designed for our intelligent palm held software which is currently under more research and developments. Tactical Images PowerPoint presentation highlights the concepts of using and installing the Tac Tag™ GlowMark™ Safety markers system together with software developed for palm held devices to be a definite tactical advantage, so Firemen can identify their exact location in a building or structure with one radio call the the Fire Chiefs and other first response teams outside of the building. GlowMark™ research identifies this will definately save both time and lives which are a very level high safety priority.

By using this easy to apply principal and metodology GlowMark™ are aiming to raise the bar for fire evacuations of all buildings and structures greatly improving current methods that do not use this principal; and which will additionally be creating an easier to identify hazardous zone area in all buildings and structures for fire fighters and first response teams worldwide!

What is the GLOWMARK™ Safety System

What is the GLOWMARK™ Safety System?

The GLOWMARK™ Arrow is a visual boundary marking system that glows for many hours after a short exposure to light. Key applications include:
    • Marine safety: boats, rafts, kayaks, hulls, pontoons, jetties, buoys, harbours, docks and ports.
    • Hospital, Prisons, commercial and domestic safety: marking exit routes and other important areas where high safety visibility is required, to meet with all safety compliances.
    • Textiles: fabrics,, boots clothing and safety apperatus used for emergency use, e.g. to indicate escape routes in all buildings and structures,on planes, trains. boats and vehicles, or even fashion items of clothing.
    • Horticulture and gardening: pathways, ornaments, lighting.
    • Commercial building and industrial safety, e.g. to delineate road works and for traffic management.
    • Mining: Oil and Gas, factories, warehouses, roads, pathways and all fire and exit routes.
    • Agriculture: to mark equipment and potentially hazardous obstacles and land boundaries.
    • Transport industries: road marking, anti-slip step and floor products, signage, extrusions, floor´s & wall´s, pathways and all public areas.
    Main points of products: GLOWMARK™ provides a Boundary Marker Safety System which is illuminated at night and in low-light conditions. The system uses a matrix of fitted GLOWMARK™ units. Each unit emits a highly visible green glow that is easily seen in the dark. The GLOWMARK™ Safety System is a low-cost alternative to expensive electrical lighting and ineffective reflectors habitually used in the above areas.




  • Question: What makes the GLOWMARK™ glow?
    Answer: Our scientifically developed SGC MKII Glow compound is the core of our products which makes them glow brighter and for longer than those calimed by our sopposed competitors.

    Question: Is SGC MKII (Synergy Glow Compound) safe and environmentally friendly?
    Answer: Yes our Glow compound and the plastic componants encasing the glow compound are environmentally friendly and our products can be safely and ecologically shredded and re-cycled to be made into other products when they no longer work.

    Question: Does GLOWMARK™ really glow all night long?
    Answer: Yes Glowmark products really will glow all night long, in fact they will glow for 48 hours after being activated and exposed to ambient light sources for only 8 minutes each day to fully charge them.

    Question: How is the GLOWMARK™ Safety System better than conventional exterior electric lighting?
    Answer: The Glowmark safety system costs less to purchase than conventional lighting systems and does not suffer from componant failures or any replacement and maintainance costs.

    Question: How is the GLOWMARK™ Safety System better than "Cat's Eyes" reflectors?
    Answer: Glowmark safety system is much lower in cost to purchase than Cats´s Eyes´s reflectors with less time consuming and costly installation labour costs attached; and additionally they do not require use of any specialist tools or skills to install.

    Question: How is the GLOWMARK™ Safety System better than solar-powered lights?
    Answer: Glowmark safety system is lower cost to buy than solar powered lights and it does not suffer from componant failures, nor does it contain any chemicals like solar cells which are hamful to the environment.

    Question: How long do GLOWMARK™ usually last before they must be replaced?
    Answer: Glowmark products come with a UK manufacturers guarantee to work for 5 years, but in reality they will carry on working for 10 years or possibly longer.

    Question: How much do GLOWMARK™ cost?
    Answer: Each GLOWMARK™ costs £4.50 (distributor price)(around £80 per unit cheaper than some of the light-giving solar competition). Please for contact us direct for bulk purchase order discounts. 

    Question: How will I save money by using the GLOWMARK™ Boundary Marker Safety System?
    Answer: Glowmark is an all round winner how ever you want to look at it, because the cost of electricity and other forms of energy soars ever higher every year with inflation!

    Question: So is the popularity of the GLOWMARK™ Safety System effected as an alternative to conventional lighting methods?.
  • Answer: Glowmarks rising popularity is driven by the system's relatively low purchase prices and our technologies extreme versatility in lowlight or dark conditions.


    Example: A box of twenty (20) GLOWMARK™ units costs £90.00 and will cover a linear distance of fifty (50) meters on a cycling path or walking trail. If that same distance were lit by electrical lighting, the cost of hardware installation alone would be much greater well in excess of 1000.s of pounds euros or dollars.
    In addition, the combined cost of maintenance and energy consumption would exceed the total cost of the entire GLOWMARK™ Safety System each month when using conventional lighting methods and products!


    The GLOWMARK™ Safety System uses its own self-contained energy source and does not rely on electricity or other forms of energy to operate. Therefore, it has no effect on monthly or annual operating budgets in regard to energy consumption.



  • Question: How easy is it to install the GLOWMARK™ Safety System?
    Answer: Glowmark is very easy to install, please see the fitting instriuctions video.

    Question: Do GLOWMARK™ have any placement or spacing requirements?
    Answer: Glowmark is a liner marker system and we recommend spacing on average of 2-5 meters apart, but this is also dependent on the type of application you require it for.

    Question: Is there a maximum number of GLOWMARK™ that should be used?
    Answer: As we have explained Glowmark is a liner marker system so the quantity used will depend on your own requirements and use, however we can offer further usage advice guide lines upon request because the GLOWMARK™ Safety System is an "open-ended" product. There is no limit to the number of GLOWMARK™ that can be used to illuminate a public area. We reccomend that Five meters is the maximum distance between each GLOWMARK™ in order to maintain the system's effectiveness at night and in low-light conditions. Obviously, there can be less distance which will require more GLOWMARK™ units for any given length of pathway.

    Conclusion: As the name suggests, the main objective of the GLOWMARK™ Safety System is designed for Safety. Therefore, the methodology and objective goal is to space the GLOWMARK™ units close enough together to give pedestrians and cyclists enough visual ability to use all public area´s safely at night and in low-light conditions. But regardless of how the GLOWMARK™ Safety System is configured, simply having one in place we believe is a step in the right direction for everyone.
