LEDicrous:

Are those blue/green gaskets designed to do the opposite of high CRI by adding blue/green tint?

imo no

the glow from the gasket, when the light is off, makes it easy to find the light on my nightstand.

the glow has very little actual illumination distance… I do not feel it changes the CRI of the LED

I especially love my acqua blue color gaskets from CRX! Highly entertaining

I can see the dim glow on my nightstand, in full darkness, even without precharging the glow gasket. Ambient daylight is sufficient to charge the gasket enough to be visible by the bed, in the dark.

Thanks gentlemen, I didn’t know about glow gasket and misunderstood its purpose. I though it was a kind of filter to alter the light tint

Is the glow permanent? does the glow gasket get power from the battery? Is this a similar design than some tail click button that has a led that glows weakly when the light is turned off? Sorry I saw a post somewhere for this design but don’t remember which flashlight model.

Nope, its just molded polymer that had glow-in-the-dark powder mixed in. Like watch lume or little GITD toys.

There are powered “aux LEDs” that can be a single or many different colors depending on their design. The newer Emisar and Fireflies lights have these, and Lexel (maybe others too) here sells boards so you can add them to other lights like the FW3A.

DIY Glow Gaskets for Triples and Other Glow Stuff Featured Mods

A wee tutorial on how to make your own glow gaskets for multi emitter lights BLF style.[image] Making glow gaskets using magnets, glow powder & UV glue: First I made a template from an old 20mm triple MCPCB to match up with a Carclo 105xx optic. 65mm steel box lid. This is the most difficult & time consuming part but only needs done once.[image] A piece of sticky tape placed on the steel surface sticky side up. (Clear tape is best to allow UV hardening of both sides) 6mm x 2mm and 3mm x 2mm…

LEDicrous:

Is the glow permanent?

yes,
but not constant brightness

the glow is charged by turning on the flashlight, but the glow is not battery powered

the highest brightness immediately after charging fades quickly (less than 1 minute)
but the residual dim glow remains sufficient to locate the light in the dark.

Even if I do not use the flashlight to charge the glow before bedtime, ambient light during the day, (iow leaving the light sitting on the nightstand 24/7) is enough to make the glow retain sufficient brightness to locate the light in the dark.

Thanks for the link Jon. Most interesting light!

welcome

CRX is an old world craftsman

iirc
he designs and builds everything from scratch, with handfiles
I think his only power tool is a drill
no cnc, no lathe

reminds me a bit of Stan Shaw, a very old school master cutler
