Trits.....am i missing something?

[jamesmtl514]

Just do it. It`s something you`ll do anyways. It`s the natural progression.
I`m really happy with the trits I have.

I dident get the trit fuzz at first. Bought a kuku switch for my v10r and ended up absolutly loving the look of it. Trits are like ****, you have to hold it in your own hands to enyoy them.

Does anyone recall offhand what size trits are needed for Steve Ku's trit fins for the Sunwayman V10R ti?

Edit: Looks like the size is 1.5 x 6 mm.

Definitely you miss this (sorry, this video in Russian):



But in short: vials of Chinese descent (do we have other manufacturers at all?) instead of insanely expensive Tritium ($30000 per gram) use cheaper Crypton-85 which is way more radioactive.

To find out what kind of filament you've got you may with a quality radiometer: if you detect radiation 6 times higher over normal level (0.09-0.14 µSv/h) — you are a proud owner of a Crypton-85 vial

BTW, both gases are a byproduct of nuclear reactors.

Just ordered my first trits for a reylight that hasn't arrived yet. Is there a trick to installation? What is the recommended adhesive?

Where can one buy trits these days? The CPF member supplier seems to have gone away years ago.

I have a tritium vial on every light I actually use. Super useful for grabbing the light in the middle of the night. I also have tritium on my keys and a few of my backpacks, same reason.

A very good old thread. Continue if you want.

I bought a keychain trit many years ago (8 or 9 yrs maybe?) that I have on a Quark 123 Tactical set on moonlight, solely for late night bathroom excursions...interestingly enough, that light still has the original 4-Sevens battery in it that came with the light and the trit seems just as bright as when I bought it.
