Glow Ring?

[zmoz]

Can someone explain to me what these are and where to get them? As far as I can tell it's a nuclear powered flashlight. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif So they're illegal in the US? Is there any version that is legal? If not how illegal are they? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hi zmoz,

This are glowrings... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You can read more about them on the manufacturers site.

they are illegal in the us /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

luckily, i found someone who would sell them /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

anyway, they are tritum, a hydrogen isotope, and contain beta radiation.

the radiation is so week that it won't go through the vial, or even a sheet of paper or your skin.

the us liberals don't let "novelty" items containing tritium into the us. "useful" items such as watches and flashlights with tritium are ok.

illegal in the way that heroin is illegal...or I could actually get one without too much trouble?

sorry vcal, it just seems like the liberals are always the ones trying to limit things...

If you PM or e-mail me I can let you know where you can get one (or a few) at a good price! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

"Lux" /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I know a guy who's brother dates the sister of a house painter who's mother might know how to get some too.

If Lux can't fill the need, feel free to drop me an email. Please don't PM, I hate that stuff...

Easy guys!

Glowrings. I found out that another one of the 100 I bought had broken a short while ago. I believe that is eight within a year. I myself have broken on on my keys.

I intend to buy more soon. The guys at Traser are pretty cool. I got my UltraStinger from them too.

slightly off topic, but if you pry apart the case that holds the tritium vial, then place a small amount of clear silicone caulk at each end, it helps cushion the vial against breakage & also helps keep the case from separating. I did this to one of my orange ones - works great & minimally affects the appearance.
