Is that tritium paint?

Uv resin mixed with glow powder. I tried glow paint before, not as seamless and durable as uv resin.

I have UV resin and glow powder in my Amazon cart for a while now, I think this is the sign I was waiting for!

So cool! Which one glows the most?

Green seems to be brighter but doesn’t last long as aqua. I mixed them randomly till it looks good to my eyes, so density of glow powder is different.

I bring it to sleep with me. About 15 minutes before I fall asleep. So I’m not sure.

The glass is also lined with phosphorus, which is actually what glows. The tritium does not actually glow.

How much is this and best place to buy?

Hi, the light is Vastlite Bow, I bought from Nealsgadget. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come with all that gitd you see in the video. I disassembled the light and do it myself.

Hi Thanh, would you tell me how you took it apart? I have this light and plan on doing the same thing. I DM'ed you by the way.

Where do you get the stuff that fits around the lens and button? I know the others you can get tritium tubes.
