is glow in the dark reflective suitable for a darkroom sign?

[Robert Lambie]

not sure if im following you correctly mate but…

if its acrylic and has to glow in the dark, they might be after an "edge-lit" sign.
if its glow in the dark vinyl, i don’t know why they would stipulate perspex as a backing. anyway, glow in the dark vinyl is called photoluminecent vinyl and can be bought from a few sources. we bout a fair bit from europoint display a couple of months ago…
you can also buy photoluminecent board.

just a point if it glow in the dark and its going to be fitted in a dark room it will never charge so will be very dim
rich

Tritium paint if you could get it, probably you cant get it but it would work.

Paint made from this stuff

Why not use batteries, a engraved acrylic with leds and couple of watch batteries would be bright and last a long time and be movable.
