Extract from newspaper article (1)

"Badly lit road signs at night are to become a thing of the past thanks to clever new 'glow in the dark' technology.
The new signs dont need bulbs or a powerful electricity supply, as they are printed on special material that shines on its own when powered by a small current.
"The trouble with ordinary signs is that the light can be patchy," said (the company spokesman). "Ours is illuminated evenly so it can be seen clearly from further away.""

Extract from newspaper article (2):

"...Bikers benefit not only from the increased visibility of the signs but also because the poles holding the signs can be made of much lighter material because they dont have to support heavy lights...
...other advantages include better visibility in all light and bad weather, less light pollution and reduced energy consumption"
