We have observed the emission of visible radiation on peeling adhesive tape from a spool. We have found that there is a fluctuation of light intensity in phase with the rotation of the spool from which the tape is being unwound. We have further found that the amount of light emitted initially increases as the unwinding speed is increased, then decreases at higher speeds.
