I have 2 tritium watches. On one the hands are green (Marathon), on the other they are orange (Nite). I would never get the orange again, in fact I would only buy a watch with the green in future. If I could afford it I’d probably get a SMW T25 Commander as my next Tritium watch.
A bit beyond my pay grade too unfortunately. If they were in the $300-$500 range that would be incredible.
I’ll have to do a bit of research online and try and see some pics of different trot colours, then order some for my D2.
Cheers

Nice watches 
For rough reference, purple/violet is around 410nm, blue is 445-478nm, green is 532, yellow is around 590, orange/red is ~630, and dark red is 660.
I have to admit though, red trits would look very very cool. Good luck on your purchase 
Thanks for the info I have seen pics of a black D2 with red trits and it did look really good. I think it was on EDCforums. There is a big Quantum thread there. http://edcforums.com/threads/the-quantum-dd-and-other-versions.101599/
Here seems to be the easiest place for me to get trits. http://beta-master.com/
They only do Green, Blue and Ice Blue.

So the 3rd poster mentioned Steve who you can buy from directly. Who is Steve and how do I get a hold of him?
Steve owns Valeno designs and makes the D2 amongst lots of very nice custom stuff. http://www.velenodesigns.com/
Oh great; cheaper than Amazon and all the money is going to the person who deserves it. Thanks!
No problem :bigsmile:
Great little light by the way.
Yup, and he can ship them with trit inserts.
Mine is permanently on my keychain, and I have used it a couple of times. Had quite a WOW reaction from a few people that so much light can be produced from something so small.
If you want to check out different colors for trits, Bart is the one to look up. He’s in the marketplace. 7 different colors.

So I stumbled upon this world of flashlights in a search for the smallest quality light possible for my edc. All of this is very new to me. What is the deal with trits? Is it mainly a style thing?
This light, the Valeno Quantum D2 is not an EDC... it's a very very small BACKUP light... meaning a light of last resort. On highest setting you will only get a few minutes run time.
The smallest EDC I would suggest would be a Zebralight SC52w. It works perfectly well on rechargeable, and regular batteries.
Trits - tritium inserts are small capsules with tritium gas inside. The gas is very slightly radioactive, and as a result of the radioactive decay it glows slightly. Not very bright at all, but enough to help you find whatever the tritium is on, assuming it's completely dark. The glow lasts 10-20 years, and does not need "charging... it will always glow. It's really cool to have, but gets to be rather pricey very quickly.
One man’s backup = another man’s EDC
Thanks for the info on trits.
