Luminox

Phosphorescent stones store daylight and return it unevenly after dark. Temporary chalk arcs and charge-cycle studies are establishing how Luminox might move from reflection to afterimage without using LEDs.

Charge and fade testing

Phosphorescent glow stones, black wool, thread, removable backing, daylight and dark testing

Glow stones sorted by size and temporarily stitched along chalk arcs on black wool.

Daylight charges the material.

Darkness edits the arrangement.

CONSTRUCTION / MOVEMENT / CARE

Materials, construction, movement, and handling.

Materials

Phosphorescent glow stones, black wool, thread, removable backing, daylight and dark testing

Weight or current measure

Weight is not recorded for this unfinished work.

Construction

Current physical work uses size-sorted glow stones, temporary stitching along chalk arcs, timed daylight exposure, and low-light comparison. Attachment and final placement remain unresolved.

Wear

Wearability is being tested only on partial panels and a supported dress form.

Care

Store test panels flat, dark, and separated from finished work.

Physical presence

Charge-cycle studies compare daylight exposure, stone size, fade rate, and visibility in low light. The work remains at a partial material-test stage.

Decision record

Glow duration varies by stone size and exposure. The attachment must keep the stones secure without covering the surface that receives charge.

Handling and care

Separate test materials from completed work and record any transfer, heat, cracking, or shedding.
