For those who are interested I have performed an informal test of Extreme Glow G.I.T. D. adhesive sheeting. (See previous post) The results are not based on any instrumentation other than my eyes so they are highly subjective. However, they did manage to prove to me that this stuff lives up to it's claims.
For this test I placed a 3" by 6" sample of Extreme Glow sheeting in a window during daylight hours until 5:00 PM. At 5:00 PM I placed the sample in a cardboard box and took it into a windowless room for evaluation. At this time, with non-dark adapted eyes, it appeared to be almost as bright as one of those Limelight electroluminescent nightlights
The following results were obtained at 2 hour intervals until bedtime and then again the following morning:
7:00 PM: Still visible to the non-dark adapted eye. Appeared about ½ as bright as it did at 5:00 PM
9:00 PM: Still visible to the non-dark adapted eye. No apparent change in brightness
11:00 PM: Still visible to the non-dark adapted eye. Slight, but perceptible decrease in brightness.
7:00 AM: (14 hours) Sample is quite visible to my dark adapted eyes. Appears as it did at 6 hours to non-dark adapted eyes. Upon getting used to the morning light I could not see the sample without waiting in the dark for a couple of minutes.
In addition to this test I also put a small piece of the sheeting on my home brew turquoise LED bedside flashlight and charged it for about 15 seconds with my white LED bedside flashlight. Everytime I woke up, this ½" by ¼" piece was glowing quite brightly all night long. I highly recommend this stuff to everyone who has a need to find things in the dark.
I hope this info is helpful to anyone who has been curious about this product.
