The Overseas & Luminosity
Hi all - wondered if you have any information regarding the material used to create the luminous elements of my 2007 Overseas - I assume it is Super Luminova or Luminova, lumibrite? I have read an article that describes these proprietary compounds in some detail that you may well be aware -
Anyone found a light source that gives a sustained result? Any other information would be interesting to know.
Incidentally the new V.C Boutique in Bond Street is, as you might expect, staffed by some very helpful and knowledgeable people. They looked after me very well on a recent visit and I cannot recommend them highly enough.
