Completely unchanged. Luminex is a clear coating. Your dock looks exactly the same as it did before installation. No strips, no hardware, no surface wires. Absolutely nothing is visible during daylight hours.

No. Luminex is a coating professionally bonded to your dock surface, not a UV black light or glow fixture. The small UV activator lights are installed discreetly out of sight under the dock. They are not visible, produce no purple tint, and look nothing like the kind of black lights you see at bars or events. Your dock glows from the coating material itself, not from any visible light source.

Small UV activator lights are installed discreetly alongside the coating to charge and power the glow every night, even on overcast days when natural UV is low.

There is nothing to replace and nothing to maintain.
