Talk:Super-LumiNova

Super-LumiNova
Please note that Nemoto does not offer any pigment named "Super-LumiNova". They call their pigments "LumiNova". The picture I added shows the three different colors available; the left one is blue-violet, not just blue as it looks like. --FK1954 (talk) 09:26, 24 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok, I now learned that Super-Luminova is a special product only designed for watches and so on. That's why it is produced in Switzerland... --FK1954 (talk) 19:08, 30 September 2010 (UTC)


 * I suggest the article be moved to "LumiNova", with a redirect from "Super-LumiNova", since "Super-LumiNova" is merely a branded derivative of the phosphor powders from Nemoto & Co. The article should be restructured to focus on LumiNova, with an incidental mention of Super-LumiNova. &mdash; QuicksilverT @ 05:15, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
 * The very best solution I'd say! By the way, in Germany Honeywell produces strontium aluminate pigments ("Lumilux Green") under Nemoto license.    --FK1954 (talk) 16:09, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

"Alternative for afterglow pigments"
The "Alternative for afterglow pigments" section is confusing. It touches on tritium and radium, but the connection to Super-LumiNova isn't clear. Also its also bit misleading. Tritium wasn't banned by Rolex, Rolex just moved on to LumiNova and then Super-LumiNova. Also the last sentence of the section jumps from tritium to radium (tritium is still present in some watches today, such as Marathon's).

I'd suggest removing the "Alternative for afterglow pigments" section altogether. But I don't know enough about the topic and may be missing some context. Harrycaul77 (talk) 05:06, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
