About this item
- JVCC GLW Glow in the Dark Tape is a flexible polyester laminated photoluminescent film tape with a permanent adhesive on one side. The photoluminescent pigments absorb and store energy from normal, ambient light. In sudden darkness the tape is immediately visible.
- The tape provides a non-electric safety marking system that easily and inexpensively affixes to walls, handrails, columns, around door frames, and along stairways and baseboards (provides visibility during an emergency). It is wound on a liner for easy handling.
- Used for identification of critical equipment controls, exit and directional signage (especially for escape routes and stairways), light switch covers, labels, decals, novelties, sporting goods, trims, and special effects. Used in hotels, hospitals, schools, public facilities, office buildings, and manufacturing plants.
- JVCC Glow in the Dark Tape is fully charged within 30 minutes after exposure to either artificial or natural light and glows brightest the first 15 to 30 minutes after activation has ceased, but will remain clearly visible in a totally dark room to the night-adjusted eye for up to 6 hours. The tape has excellent UV stability and does not show significant degradation when used outdoors. The luminescent system used is non-radioactive and non-toxic.
- Carrier/Backing: laminated photoluminescent polyester film. Adhesive: solvent-based acrylic. Release Liner: poly-coated paper. Thickness: 20 mils (carrier, adhesive, liner) 15 mils (carrier, adhesive) 5 mils (liner). Adhesion: 72 ounces per inch (to stainless steel test panel). Tensile Strength: 30 pounds per inch (longitudinal). Application Temperature: 50F (minimum). Core: 3-inch diameter neutral.

Product Description
JVCC GLW Glow in the Dark Tape is a flexible polyester laminated photoluminescent film tape with a permanent adhesive on one side. The photoluminescent pigments absorb and store energy from normal, ambient light. In sudden darkness the tape is immediately visible. The tape provides a non-electric safety marking system that easily and inexpensively affixes to walls, handrails, columns, around door frames, and along stairways and baseboards (provides visibility during an emergency). It is wound on a liner for easy handling. Also used for identification of critical equipment controls, exit and directional signage (especially for escape routes and stairways), light switch covers, labels, decals, novelties, sporting goods, trims, and special effects. Used in hotels, hospitals, schools, public facilities, office buildings and manufacturing plants.
JVCC Glow in the Dark Tape is fully charged within 30 minutes after exposure to either artificial or natural light and glows brightest the first 15 to 30 minutes after activation has ceased, but will remain clearly visible in a totally dark room to the night-adjusted eye for up to 6 hours (to the night-adjusted eye it is visible, but it would not compare it brightness to say a standard flashlight). It also recharges. In its uncharged state the tape has a white/cream color and when glowing the tape has a luminescent lime green color. The tape has excellent UV stability and does not show significant degradation when used outdoors. The luminescent system used is non-radioactive and non-toxic. The tape is offset, screen, flexo, and thermo transfer printable. The adhesive has a 24 hour dwell time.
6-foot glow strips are shipped in rolled format and typically 10 glow strips will be rolled together and combined into one bag. Made in the U.S.

I found “Docooler” to be the best in brightness, duration, and cost. However, JVCC was the worst. All tapes did glow for at least 6 hours, but the intensity of glow after 6 hours varied greatly. I have photos of right after turning off the lights, 10 minutes after, and 20 minutes after. I will post a “6-hours” after photo later, but someone turned on the lights before I woke up and charged the tapes so I can’t give you an accurate photo right now.
(6-HOUR UPDATE): All the test samples were glowing after six hours of being left in relative pitch darkness. However, my camera is not sensitive enough to record the image of the glow. With the naked eye, however, the glow can certainly be seen. The relative strengths of the six-hour glows are about the same as shown in the “20 minutes later” photo. Though of course the glow is fainter than what is shown in the “20 minute” photo, in a pitch-black emergency situation, all the tapes would be visible.)
“JVCC” found here: JVCC GLW Glow in the Dark Tape: 1/2 in. x 30 ft. (Luminescent Lime Green) : COST:$10.63 for 30 feet (as of March 2016); GLOW RANK (1 to 4 scale, 1 is best and 4 is the worst): 4 = worst glow duration, worst brightness; ADHESIVE: It initially slipped off of some steps that had varnish on them, but if left in place for a while, it will adhere. Not the best adhesive of the four tested. CONCLUSIONS: This tape will glow for at least 6 hours (as all tapes tested did), however the 6 hour glow is very faint and can only be seen if it is pitch black which is enough if you are in a total darkness situation. This tape cost the most of the tapes tested, but performed the worst. It does work though. Tape took about 8 days to reach me after ordering.
“DOCOOLER” found here: Docooler Glow in the Dark Tape Premium Luminous Green Sheet Sticker Film for Warning Labels 3"*8" ¡ : COST:$3.98 for 3.5 feet (as of March 2016); GLOW RANK (1 to 4 scale): 1 = best glow duration, best brightness; ADHESIVE: Adhesive is very strong. CONCLUSIONS: This tape is cut in the size of a large U.S. dollar bill. It was the BEST in terms of brightness. In fact, you could read by its light, almost like the glow of a smart phone. The tape was the thickest of the four and would work well for any emergency application. It had the longest duration of glow and the brightest duration. I liked this one the best and it seems to be the most cost effective as well. Tape took about 2 weeks to reach me after ordering.
“URPARCEL” found here: Urparcel Luminous Tape Glow In The Dark Stage Home Decoration 10mm : COST:$3.97 for 30 feet (as of March 2016); GLOW RANK (1 to 4 scale): 3 = so-so glow duration; ADHESIVE: Adhesive is very strong. CONCLUSIONS: This tape is thin in width and thickness, almost like a film. However, it glows better than JVCC so cost wise, you are better with this tape if you need a lot of length. Note, this product ships from China and took almost a month to reach me after ordering.
“KING” found here: KING DO WAY PET Luminous Green Tape Self-adhesive Warning Strip Glow In Dark Home Office Party Stage Switch Decor 12MMx3M : COST:$3.69 for 10 feet (as of March 2016); GLOW RANK (1 to 4 scale): 2 = good glow duration; ADHESIVE: Adhesive is very strong. CONCLUSIONS: This tape is thin in thickness, but wider than URPARCEL. KING and URPARCEL seem to be from the same company, however the KING “brand” glowed brighter. Tape took about three weeks to reach me after ordering.

I give this 4 stars because they suggest to use this on staircases in case of an emergency situation (such as a power outage) but I don't think artificial light will be enough to charge this tape. I think this tape needs sunlight to charge it fully and give it it's full brightness.
TLDR: Great for indoor use (as long as whatever you tape can be "moved") but poor for outdoor use.
Seeing our way to the bathroom without turning on any lights and waking up the rest of the family was always an issue until now.
I cut up the tape and in dotted line fashion the bathroom doorway and everything else necessary for someone to use the bathroom without lights was marked. I didn't use huge pieces of tape and there was a fair amount of space in between pieces of tape. So, I had lots of tape left over for flashlights, and putting on the light switches in case we really need to turn on our lights.
The glow was brighter than I was expecting and not a lot of light was needed to re-charge the tape, as our trailer is in a fairly shady spot and the tape did not receive any direct sunlight. Also, the tape glows all night.
After a few months, the tape is still sticking well and looks just the same as when I first put it up. Love it!
The tape is very durable and the adhesive is good as well. It isn't as flexible as electrical tape, but can wrap around items without issue. I tested this product next to high-end strontium aluminate based paint and found this tape to be equally bright at least in the short term. This stuff glows very evenly after exposed to light which is an advantage as compared with some glow in the dark paints.
