For those people whose home is like a blackened maze with the lights turned out: Glow-in-the-dark Baseboard Molding.
If you're like me, you've spent some time coming up with interesting words under your breath after accidently stubbing your toe on the corner of a wall after dark.
Baseboards
are already being manufactured out of plastic, so why not make the whole thing glow? Needing no electricity, the baseboards would be made from solid glow-in-the-dark wood-textured plastic. If painting was desired, the piece could be purchased with an adhesive strip running down its middle. Simply paint the molding to the desired colour, then peel off the adhesive strip, revealing a contrasting (white) glowing line!
[addendum] I put this idea forward despite all the other glowing-house-accoutrements because it seemed the easiest to manufacture and install.
Just mix it in...

In our house we have small lights in the base of our hallways and stairs. They're low-voltage LEDs, designed for marine use, adapted for the house. Each fixture is about 1" tall by 3" long and the light peers through a small, downswept louvre that directs the light to the floor. They're quite nice and almost unnoticeable by day. |

Alternatively, one could use those rope lights fit into a channel cut into the baseboard moulding. |

And you get that cool Wizardry I wire-frame effect. |

Sometimes you just want it dark... all the way dark. What would you do on the occasion you want total darkness? |

Switch on the Kulb (K for black). |

Would that make the emissive inverse a CYMulb? |
