Betalights

Hello.

Does anybody know where I can buy a tritium flashlight?

Thank you,

Tritium is almost exclusively used as a locator (something that is viewed directly rather than used as a tool to light other things) not as a flashlight; check out the offerings in the CPF Marketplace.

If you are referring to the tritium spheres contained in a black plastic housing with opening "lid" sometimes marketed as a map reader I think they are pretty rare on CPF Marketplace.

I've occasionally seen them on ebay, but to get a "fresher" one you could try penrithsurvival dot com and search for

I bought one from penrithsurvival and it is ok:shrug: I also have a 18MM green sphere from b@rt over in the marketplace it is much brighter than the disc in the tritium torches from penrithsurvival.

Put that sphere into a shallow reflector and it easily enough to read by or navigate around the house at night. Photonfanatic can make you a custom body and reflector they are not cheap but very nice.

Best bang for the buck? Get a 18MM green sphere from b@rt, some norland from rockettomato and glue it into a reflector. You can use other glue but the norland is supurb.

This picture is b@rts orange sphere compared to the penrith beta-light. The green sphere is MUCH brighter
