How high visibiltiy gear got started
http://rtspetroleum.com/2014/03/24/a-glowing-history-of-high-visibility-clothing/ Bob Switzer, an Ohio teenager, was in a coma after suffering a serious head injury. It was months before he regained consciousness and doctors advised him to convalesce in a darkened room. Frustrated that his dream of becoming a medical doctor had been dashed, he passed the time by experimenting with fluorescent minerals and started to wave them around in the dim light. -

What Luminex is about
Source
Luminex is a new kind of fabric that glows literally. It's not shiny, it's not glow in the dark it actually gives off its own light. Designers took tiny, flexible optical fibers developed for high-energy physics experiments and wove them into ordinary fabric. Power comes from an ordinary battery sewn into the cloth. -
