Litrospheres is a self-luminous micro particles invented by MPK Co. This new light source can lasts 12 years without a single recharge from electricity or sun exposure. Litroenergy, the technology behind Litrospheres, has potential to save billions of dollars in energy costs world-wide. It surpasses all known available lighting options for cost/durability/reliability and safety.

GlowPaint glow-in-the-dark paint company, MPK Co., has come up with self-luminous micro particles called Litrospheres™ which they say are inexpensive, non-toxic, and will stay on for 12+ years (half-life point) continuously -- without having to be plugged into any power source. It is a betavoltaic technology, using a radioactive gas, whose "soft" emission of electrons from the beta emitting gas cannot penetrate the glass or polymer wall of the microspheres.
