The Glow Brick is a glow-in-the-dark light bulb, trapped in a solid acrylic brick. It recharges from natural light during the day. Made with a real light bulb!
How it works: Glow-in-the-dark* pigment is trapped inside a real light bulb (just like the ones you have at home). Then the light bulb is encased in a solid block of Acrylic resin. The mysterious optical effect is caused by light diffracting in the tiny space between the glass of the light bulb and the resin, the space forms when the resin shrinks by a tiny amount during the production process. The polished surface gives a jewel like quality to the object. In a darkened room or at night the Glow Brick comes to life with a tranquil and subtle glow emanating from the pigment inside the light bulb.
*The technical term for the glow-in-the-dark is "photoluminescence" this is a process in which energy absorbed by a substance is released relatively slowly in the form of light.Size: 8.5 x 8.5 x 10.5cm

Q: How long does it glow for?
A: Hi, the amount of time the Glow Brick glows for is dependent upon how much natural light it absorbs. It uses a glow-in-the-dark pigment which is trapped inside a real light bulb, and uses energy absorbed from natural light. The subtle glow of this SUCK UK product comes to life in a darkened room and is not as detectable in the light. I hope this helps, Robyn.
