How do you say "glow-in-the-dark" in Japanese?

Specifically, I am referring to substances that absorb light and then emit the
light back in a way that is visible when you remove all other light sources.

I am _not_ referring to substances that rely on a one-time-use chemical
reaction such as glow sticks, or substances such as fluorescent highlighters
or black light posters that rely on a separate catalyst like a "black light"
to create the glow effect. (While I wouldn't mind knowing how to describe
these too, they are not the primary subject of the question.)

Examples of what I would like to be able to describe:

Note that in the third reference image there is text describing the product
that reads: "Glows in the Dark". This is a literal explanation of what the
product does, but I think the term "glow-in-the-dark" as an adjective is more
useful, as it can be placed before any noun to explain that the subject in
question has glowing properties. Whether this has any relevance regarding how
this could be explained in Japanese, I don't know - but I think it's worth
mentioning because a term that can be used to describe any object is most
handy.

Thanks!

How to say: "Glow-in-the-dark"?
If it is referring to material in [this
page](http://www.1999.co.jp/erumaer/m236.html), then 夜光(素材) or 蓄光(素材). If you
google with 夜光, then you will see what you put in the question. Depending on
the material, such as powder, paper, particle, the (素材) part can be changed.

  * 夜光パウダー / 蓄光パウダー / 蓄光粉末 / ルミパウダー (ルミ can be used for luminescence) for powder.

Also [this](http://oshiete.goo.ne.jp/qa/6415938.html) page explains the
difference between 夜光 vs 蛍光 (fluorescent) in Japanese. So you could probably
dig in more about 夜光/蓄光 to verify if the word is what you're actually looking
for.

I know quite a lot about jigsaw puzzles, and one quite popular type is exactly
as you describe: it is luminescent, meaning that the dyes absorb light, which
they store and re-emit later. These are almost universally labelled as
光る{ひかる}パズル. These I have been rendering as "Glow-in-the-dark", exactly as you
say. Here's an example page of these puzzles from Tenyo:
