I wanted something a little different than a glowring attatched to my Arc. I decided to add a flush mounted Tritium capsule in the powerpack. The unit is now mounted in clear industrial silicone and countersunk to prevent any damage. VERY easy to find now. Thought you might like a picture. web page web page

Thanks very much Bernhard..It turned out better than expected. The capsule is the perfect size for this mod and more than bright enough. I only have a couple capsules left though. Glad you like the look.

Jets22,

Good job and application! Those little vials look very promising indeed!

Jets22 · Oct 21, 2003

Thanks Don...I'm thinking the PR head needs one of these also.

Very nice! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Did you use the small tritium "dots" found in gunsights?

Jets22 · Oct 21, 2003

Actually Bart this dot is very close to the size of a tritium night sight capsule. Maybe slightly longer than the Meprolite version.

B@rt · Oct 21, 2003

Cool! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
Do you have a source for those or did you "cannibalize" them? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif

Jets22 · Oct 21, 2003

I only have a few left Bart and I'm still checking on availability of more.

Very nice...I think you've got a winner here!

I'll be in line if you decide to start offering your services /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

If there is enough intrest in having it done..I just might do a few for CPF members.

TOB9595 · Oct 21, 2003

Nicely done, Jets22.

Thanks Tom

Xrunner · Oct 21, 2003

Very nice. How deep is the hole?

-Mike

d'mo · Oct 22, 2003

I too would like to know where to purchase the Tritium markers.

Jets22 · Oct 22, 2003

XRunner...The hole depth is a shade under a 1/8 inch. The marker is set back slightly to prevent any capsule damage. Silicone is used for added shock dampening and retention of the marker.

EchoSierraTwo · Oct 22, 2003

Im sorry I do not see it. Is it that little tiny, tiny, minute speck towards the tail end?

Jets22 · Oct 22, 2003

Well, I can tell you in a dark room, that tiny tiny speck looks very bright. If you are truly having a problem seeing that one....you could always glue one of these to the side. Much easier to spot but not as clean looking. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif web page

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gifVery nice. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif
I too would be in line for one.
How about on a ARC "AA"?

Beretta1526 · Oct 27, 2003

I've been toying with the idea of routing a channel in the side of a light and using the capsule out of a glow ring. It just seems that the wall thickness on most lights is very thin and it would be difficult for me to rout out the channel.
