Default looking for self luminescent light

A few days ago I was browsing ebay and found a guy that was selling tritium exit lights (dated 2001) I put bids on all four. Well they lasted about 1 day before ebay dropped the posts. ebay prohibits tritium exit signs. I didn't even get the seller to contact him directally about getting a few. These had many vials about 2-3 inches long. I would LOVE to incorporate some of these larger ones into camping gear (lights). Does anyone know where a few of these can be had. I can find them new but they are expensive.

The "Tritium" 4 hand set is actually not tritium at all, but "Luminova", which doesn't produce it's own light.

The Glowrings on the other hand do have the sealed Tritium Gas tubes inside that we all have come to love and covet for our mods and projects !

I got a 2 pack from ebay and a 4 pack here on group buy. 3 of the 6 were reserved for gifts for the special few. The rest are for mods. I have been using green and aqua glow powder in most of them, but there are some where the glow rings would work better. The reason I was looking around for alternate sources, is as all of you are aware, $$$. I mean if I could get an EXIT sign off ebay (the one I saw before it was pulled was dated 2001, and had prob 15-18 1-4" tubes in it.) even for 40.00, thats less than 3.00 each. And the ones in the signs are MUCH bigger.
