Jelly yarn made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The fluorescent dye emphasised the edge glow effect, lighting up the ends like a fibre optic cable.

Bencore Lightben composite panel produced by bonding transparent polycarbonate (PC) cylinders to external layers in polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) acrylic, polycarbonate (PC) or polyester (PET)

Laser cut discs of cast polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), acrylic. The fluorescent dye emphasises the edge glow effect.

Versato Myst collection, manufactured by PyraSied in cast polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), acrylic, with fluorescent and diffusing pigments. The cut edges appear more saturated than the faces, due to a phenomenon known as edge glow, or lit edge. It is caused by lightwaves being refracted internally and transmitted out through the edge, rather than the surface. The effect is enhanced by fluorescent pigment.

Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), acrylic, sheet with fluorescent tint. Reducing the amount of pigment or dye to below the saturation point results in tinted colour. Fluorescent pigments glow brightly because they absorb light in the ultraviolet portion of the spectrum and emit light in the visible portion. Therefore, tinted materials will appear brighter than their surroundings because they emit more visible light. The cut edges appear more saturated than the faces, due to a phenomenon known as edge glow, or lit edge. It is caused by lightwaves being refracted internally and transmitted out through the edge, rather than the surface. The effect is enhanced by fluorescent pigment.
