In developing countries energy demand is insatiable and growing day by day. Road lighting is one of the biggest challenge faced by the government. One fifth of the houses in rural areas still remain in darkness. A concrete dormant in daylight and producing luminescence at night-time proves to be efficient in managing daily energy consumption in an efficient manner especially during night-time when the demand is at its peak. This concrete applies the basic principle of phosphorescence in which the phosphorescent material absorbs energy in the daytime from sun’s radiation and re-emits the light energy in the dark. It is eco-friendly, cost efficient and appealing to the eye due to its luminescent glow. It provides easy road solutions to night lighting and road signs in highways. Glowcrete assures steady glow supply upto 12 hours, has aesthetic appeal and can be extensively used in construction.
