Unsure what color is the Tritium vial but not dark enough yet?

But have a blacklight flashlight or a BLB (Blacklight Blue) fluorescent lamp?

Tritium vials have outrageously sensitive heavy-metal phosphors, making it easier to see what color they are so you can sort them out quickly, by simply irradiating it under any source of 365 nanometers ultraviolet light (be it a LED flashlight fitted with Nichia 365nm LED or your favorite old school blacklight fluorescent fixture).

Most notably, Green vials would be pretty obvious because our eyes are sensitive to 555 nanometers yellow light, however, due to peak sensitivity of our eyes, we can't see red and blue vials nearly as well, so blacklight lamp may be necessary when sorting them under white light such as picking which you like to be put in your knives or some sick flashlight builds (just be sure to have UV curable glues sealed in the light-block container such as cookie tin or something similar before you whip out anything with UV emitter until after you have made your picks, it would suck if you accidentally cured the whole syringe of that expensive glues).

If you guys know that, that's fine, just wanted to make it known for a few peoples who don't know this fact. That's all folks. :wave:

And did I mention that... lovecpf
