This video is a re-edit and re-upload of an original video I did on Lumilor in 2018, but with all new information, pricing, footage and narration. I re-uploaded the video 2 weeks ago, but Lumilor told me I was using the old pricing and asked if I would re-edit again and replace with current pricing, which of course I said yes, I don't want to have incorrect pricing in a brand new video that will be up for years. So all the information and pricing in this video is accurate of of Dec 2020.
@@jo-well5869 Thanks I guess, but if I was really good, when I remade the video 2 weeks ago, I should have made sure I was using accurate pricing, to prevent editing the video 3 times.
@@Thoran666 the paint lasts anywhere from 10,000 to 50,000 hours of continual use, and most people only spend about 2 hours a day in a car on average. so 10,000 / 2 = 5000 / 365 days = 13.7 years of use, I did not see any reason to mention it will pretty much last for the life of the car. and 13.7y is the low end.
@@justadakota1822 no..... You buy this stuff by the pint and quart and literally spray it on. I don't know wth you watched, but it definitely was not the same videos I've seen about it.
So many uses for it. First one that came to mind was a story about the difficulty they went through making Tron Legacy in illuminating the clothing they wore in the film, yet with something like this, it would be easy as. While still a little pricey, the more people use something the cheaper it becomes. Imagine have a design on your car you like but then also connecting it to a car alarm. The alarm goes off, the whole car lights up. Also, what about having a taxi that illuminates when vacant and/or changes pattern when in use?
I pictured flightlines changing their designs with this. Possibly highways, with solar, or wind powered charging stations, multi traffic controlled scenarios.
@@cap10zomb it can even be useful foggy conditions.. so transportation, exit signs and maby even companies can use this technology.. who knows man I have so many ideas off this alone..
It would be interesting to see this light incorporated in such a way as turn signal indicators. If you use this lighting it will allow designers to remove the tail light assembly completely and will give the artist designers a challenge of designing lighting designs for taillights and turn signals.
@@Artcore103 But it could still be used in addition to the normal lights, making parts of the car glow dimly would be great for nightime visibility, especally on parts that dont normally have many lights like the side.
Price is the value of something to us as a society. Show the competition that does the same thing, and cheaper? When you are the only product of its kind in existence you can set the price. Surprised its not more really. If they keep on and more adopt it could become cheap enough that TRON becomes reality XD
The Grid. A digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer. What did they look like? Ships, motorcycles? Were the circuits like freeways? I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see. And then, one day I got in...
Imagine a paint job where the speed of the car would reveal neon-like cinetic lines along the car design (perhaps animated, if it's doable), maybe even some spots that reveal hidden parts (like an holographic version of the engine on top of the car's hood expressing the power that's been generated. That would be so interesting and satisfying to watch and film (and maybe some little details on the inside too, not too much distracting).
That's really cool. I've seen electroluminescent paper but never thought of it being a paint. Wouldn't that be the coolest turn signal? It half the car was blinking?
Someday far in the future this may become real. I can think of the old need for speed game on the game cube that had those arrow turns signals when you’re racing Edit: spelled racinf
Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say.
This video is so interesting that I saved it. Going to have to get some pricing for our Motorcycle, Bike's & Helmets! Not sure if I'm willing to paint my car yet.
even stop signs too. small solar panel built onto the back that charges a battery enough to power the stop sign. it could potentially save lives specially in very dark areas.
Really excited for this in real world applications! There are so many applications for this such as low power illuminated safety cones and turn signals integrated into paint. There's just an endless possibility of uses. I'm sure the limited life span can be a turn away for some people but on that note have you applied Lumilor over vinyl wrap? I say this because it could be a viable solution when you need to reapply Lumilor. Simply peel away the wrap, apply new wrap and apply new layer of Lumilor.
This paint has a life span. I wanna see a video of a car that has this paint, were it has gone past it's life. Anyone else curious of how it would look?
I guess it would depend on what object you apply it to. A Car for example would have a lot of atmospheric and debris elements "attacking" it but im sure they would improve it a few years down the line to be more durable. We will have to keep our eyes on it for a while yet I guess : ]
I saw a tech show at least 20 years ago that illustrated a way to change the color of your house daily. I was just discussing this with a friend and thought I would check and see if anybody developed that idea. This is great! Would love be great for motorcycles and bicycles, etc.
I was hoping after he started talking about pricing and revealed the outrageous $600/kit price he was going to say; "But that was the old price, now it's only $100!", except he was like; "But wait, it gets _more_ expensive!".
I wouldn’t say that it is that outrageous. Paint can get really expensive and with something special like this , it is acceptable to have a very high price.
But isn't that what was used in the 80s for those slightly illuminated stickers and not what they're using here? Is phosphorous' electrical conductivity enough for this?
@@PokeAmp resistive light bulbs obviously not, but LEDs work in reverse. Put them under the right frequency light and they do generate a voltage across the leads. Solar panels are just LEDs that are optimized to be really good at that, but are kinda bad at outputting light. Goes for a lot of things. Motors are generators, just each is optimized for their use. Speakers are microphones, again optimized.
My suggestions would be to the Amusement parks, Finally light up the roller coaster Tracks and Cars,,,, Lots of fun there . I Can't wait for it to finally be done.
@@speedymatt1236 yeah. I saw it but never deleted the comment. But anyways. If its 10000 then sounds like a ripoff. Anything less than 40000 is a ripoff
I knew the inventor of this before he invented it. I kept on hearing about it but never seen in irl.. glad he went from driving crudy saabs to car shows to actually making it in life... if i recall hes been dating my ex for quite some time now actually. Love this paint btw.
I would also suggest you to look up a non electric luminous paint called "lit paint" which is similar to the "exit" signs paint but 10x brighter...and also is more cheaper
I think that where this technology can be most important is on the highways since there are highways that do not have the signs marked very well and in some places they can hardly be seen.
the paint when it's lit only has a life span of 10,000 to 50,000 hours, that is not enough for road markings, if you average 12 hours a day of darkness where the lights are on, it would only last 833 days.
I read an article somewhere and they said that in Scandinavia they were working on a road paint that would actually change colors with the temperature change. So if the road was safe the lines would be yellow but if they were icing up, they would turn blue or maybe even red. That would be awesome.
@@WonderWorldYTC Right, now we just need to see it on the road. ;) Wonder how they will/did solve the power supply issue given the rim is a rotating object.
If I painted the exterior of the house Musou Black and added in laser special effects, this paint (complete with decking upgrade around my crib) would integrate amazingly with 11' tall chain-linked fencing in Musou Black Paint as well (numerous edible vines can be espaliered along such fencing).
True story. I've met the inventors son. Police departments weren't interested until the tech came further. They like their hard hitting toys more. This is definitely a dumbed down version of what I was told about tho. They can have an unmarked police car and flip a switch and have all of their markings pop up. They may have adopted it in the last 3 years since I was told about it 🤙
