Is it possible?

Now that I have heard of the reliability of Tritium vials..

Is there any way that one could fasten a tiny tritium vial into the bezel of a E1l in the little ring-like depression. THAT WOULD BE COOL!! An e1l with a Tritium vial locator.. Do such tiny vials exist?

( If so.. where would I get one without getting into trouble? )

There is a guy on ebay that is selling some really small ones. I dont have a link, but search for 'tritium'. I believe some people here got some.

This seller has old style Glow Rings on sale. It is easier to remove the tubes from these.

Or you could use BabelFish and go HERE.
This seller used to have his listings in English. I posted him on CPF here

from what i seen, try and get the largest that will fit.
they may glow forever, and in the dark stand out like a sore thumb, but they are not very high in output.

Yes.. I am a camper and dont want to lose my precious lights. How would you recommend I glue them into the bezel? Is there a particular glue that works best?

Two-part clear epoxy is what I would use. I would also lightly sand the surfaces to allow the epoxy a better grip.

If you drop your light out in the woods you'd have to be pretty lucky to be able to see that tiny tritium vial unless you where close, in complete darkness, and the vial was pointed straight at you. The glow is quite dim. It does look pretty sweet though /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
