This question is based on an experiment. The question is a bit cryptic but for a reason. If it were readily understood, I'd abandon the research. This gives fodder to my fire. Thanks hh

In other words, how can the addition of light (specifically, that from a he-ne laser) discharge the energized photons in glow paint? _______________________________________________________________ Greetings - Your question was not submitted to the MAD Scientist Network for the following reason: Please provide further specifics. As it stands it would be difficult for us to find an answer to your question. Questions may be resubmitted via http://www.madsci.org/submit.html Specifically, do you know that this happens from your personal experience, or have you just read it somewhere?? In either case, details of the experiment would be most helpful.
