How does the glow work, and how does Moonbow differ from a plain glow green?
The strand is PLA compounded with phosphorescent pigment: light that falls on the printed surface charges the pigment, and the part then gives off a soft glow on its own in a dark room. Moonbow is the same chemistry on a strand whose tone shifts instead of staying one flat colour, so the part reads as a colour piece in daylight and still glows once the lights are down. How strongly and how long a part keeps glowing depends on the light it received and on the wall thickness, so judge the effect on a printed sample in your own lighting.
