The glow and dark bling thread

Ohhhh pretty

It looks good :wink: :beer:

Very cool, PP. Initially I thought maybe those were just the slow-fade RGB LEDs, but I don’t think you could get those to stay in unison. So are these Anduril-controlled? What kind of driver did you use?

Lume1 driver. More info here

Anyone used cyflect? Tempted to order some but want to hear from people on here first

I guess nobody here has any experience with that product… :frowning:

Appears to be a Cyalume product. How does the glow compare to other glow stuff? Is it worth the high asking price? I want to put some strips of it on key lights/stuff.

Thanks! I ordered a small strip to try out. Have just ordered a bunch of other glowy stuff, I’ll try to do some comparisons and report back as I couldn’t find many side-by-side comparisons here.

Edit: I know there’s a very good CRX post where the LIT and Kilabitzzz stuff was compared, might order some LIT and do another comparison with some other mediums/resins/glues.

Wow! You never fail to impress. Any details on the build?

Yes, andruil lightning - Skullzs

:beer:

I might be wrong but i don’t think andruil can light the aux lights with advanced flashy modes.

Yeh okay. I’m not savvy with code so I don’t know how that works either.

Update for anyone interested. I went on a bit of a GITD buying spree. For what it’s worth, I have fairly good night-vision and enjoy super-dim moonlight flashlight modes.

I’m most impressed with the (very chunky) CountyComm UGM Tough Patch Universal Glow Marker- Once charged up, it seems to have the longest sustained glow of anything else I own.

Kilabitzzz and LIT green powder appear fairly similar, both in brightness and glowtime. I’ve not yet had a chance to experiment with different mediums etc.

CountyComm Boker EDC Slipjoint knife with Ultra Day Glow scales - similar to above, I’m pleased with the glow on this. Clipped inside a jeans pocket, I’m always surprised when I move from a light to dim area, to see that it’s charged from daylight or interior lights- That said, only the top 1/10th of one side of the knife is charged in this way.

Cyflect, as I was told ( :beer: ) doesn’t have the brightest or the longest glow, it is the only one which is also reflective though. I think if I required a similar effect in the future, glow in the dark pigment mixed with eg. silicone sealant then dots blobbed onto regular 3M reflective tape at a suitable interval would be crude but effective…

The Tec Accessories Embrite glow fob also has a disapointing glow. Initial brightness (to my eye) is similar or slightly dimmer than the pigments or the CountyComm glow gear, however, the glow fades much faster compared to the other gear. I’ll probably buy the tritium installation kit and put a tritium tube into this at some point in the future.

I’ll try and add some photos in the future, taking decent pictures of this stuff is hard!

Hey PP. cool light !!! :sunglasses: :+1:

Wow wow :heart_eyes:

Filled the lanyard hole on my new knife with GITD powder/epoxy mix.

Well done! Looks great
