glow-in-the-dark
Visible without light
Glow-in-the-dark describes materials that absorb light and emit it slowly in darkness.
The term typically applies to toys, stickers, stars stuck on children's ceilings, or safety markings: glow-in-the-dark bracelets, a glow-in-the-dark exit sign.
The effect comes from phosphorescent compounds that store energy from light exposure.
