I have been busy! These are two new Tritium designs. Unlike normal glow in the dark Tritium doesn’t need to by charged by an existing light source. It’s a gas, slightly radioactive (not dangerously so) and glows continuously for 12 to 15 years. It’s used in high end watches, gun sights - anything that requires constant illumination. But it’s very, very expensive and is sold in a range of small glass tubes. For the safety of the tube I install them in a second glass or crystal vial.The green stick is small 12mm x 2mm. It’s sealed in the square crystal vial hung on semicircle silver tone connector with pointed terminals. Two flat struts are used to attach the chain. The orange/pink stick is larger 24mm x 2mm sealed within a second glass vial test tube. I created a hanging bracket for the vial. The vial is topped with a 5 finned post. There is a brass ring on the test tube that holds the vial at a midpoint and can be removed. The vial itself can be worn without the bracket by clipping two clasps to the holes on the top cap that will be included. -- source link
