I've got a bag of glow in the dark zip ties I bought at Conrad Electronics (A Germany Based electronics company). I think they are about 8 inches long and a quarter inch or less wide. I don't think you will find tritium zip ties. Each tie would be expensive and subject to breaking.

Let me know if you need a bag or two of the GITD zip ties.

Tritium zip ties can't exisit. It's a gas. Now, there's tritium compounds, but I don't think zip tie guys wanna radiate their factory

The reason you won't find tritium zip ties is that tritium itself is not luminous. It is combined with a phosphorescent outer coating that puts off colored light when irradiated. This would require some [expensive] engineering (and production) to create a maleable and durable ziptie that wouldn't leak tritium or chaff away the phosphorous mat'l.
Better off searching for existant GITD zipties.

whitey529 - try this link - do a Product Search for "cable ties" - then scroll down.

I tried a direct link, but am having problems. The above instructions should work.
