This is good, cheap glow tape-Mark flashlights to find in the dark

shipping was SLOW - it came from estonia, of all places for aliexpress to ship from

1/3 the cost of amazon

it glows all night, if your eyes adjust, you can see it forever [background radiation gives it enough charge]

wle

Do you know what’s it made of?

You don’t want to find out there is tritium on that tape. Or some dangerous substance.

Uhhh, where? Fukoshima?

Well, I do like that it has avirulent insipidity. I was worried there for a minute. I might just get some…

Yeah, this is a bit worrysome, if you think about it:

Does not sound very safe….
There’s a reason tritium is sold inside glass vials and has shipping restrictions.

Well, the listing claims it contains no toxic or radioactive ingredients.

Seriously, does anybody even know what avirulent insipidity means? :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve read it on the internet, so it must be true. :slight_smile:

Pfft. It’s the opposite of virulent sipidity, of course.

Sure it’s not from Chernobyl?

Because Estonia is known for consumer protection and product testing. :stuck_out_tongue:

At best, it’s phosphors and normally, this stuff is encased in plastic or mixed with clear lacquer to be painted on such thing as watches.

As long as the OP knows what he’s bought and trusts the product. Or not….

I’m thinking it’s only a slow-decay phosphor if they claim a half-life of 24hrs. Ie, it won’t glow brightly and also fade quickly, but glow dimly but for a much longer time.

at this price you can’t expect tritium

Well then the claims about it not needing any kind of power or energy to glow are false.
Because only tritium does that.

I think I have to order some. Just to see where does it ship from? :wink:

Great idea!! If you do, please keep us posted. Who knows, it might be from very close to you since your in Estonia. :wink:

If your seeing an unexplained glow in the sky at night…… this may explain it. :smiley:

Years ago NPR had a story about US Radium in New Jersey, I found a similar story in Wikipedia
Radium Girls
How would you think something like a watch dial would have such an impact on someones life.

I bought a tape with the same pictures and similar price. It doesn’t glow forever but glows for long, I haven’t determined duration.

Wow… that’s a sad story & a pitiful commentary on their employer. :frowning:
Thanks for sharing, I had never heard of this.
