The hot luminescence of self‐trapping excitons is discovered in NaI and KI single crystals. The temperature behaviour of hot emission spectra in the range of 4.2 to 170 K and the corresponding excitation spectra are studied. Basing on the theory of resonant secondary emission developed recently a description of the observed luminescence in terms of the relaxation of a configurational coordinate is given. The calculations of local lattice dynamics of a self‐trapped exciton determining its relaxation law and the shape of the hot emission spectra are presented. A comparison of the theory with the experiment provides a detailed picture of the exciton relaxation into the self‐trapped state.
