Strontium Aluminate - 100 grams - 300 mesh powder - £9.70 including P&P.
An initial 10 lots of 100g for those who want to make their own everlasting nightlight, camp marker, gear marker etc.
Lasts waaaaaay longer than Zinc Sulfide, 12 hours at least. Much brighter, lasts forever and non-toxic. Most effective when the rod photo-receptor cells in your eyes are activated for night vision. Should be effective as a tent, shelter, hammock nightlight.
A bit of practical fun to try out and way cheaper than normal.
BACS or Paypal if you cover fees. Lead time will be a good few weeks.
Endless things you can do with it including add it to paint or make your own glow in the dark moldable Oogoo (Sugru) for your kit. On second thoughts, I'm not sure it works in Silicone due to the acid content but it works great in Epoxy.

This can be used in epoxy, varnish, latex, resin, vinyls, plastics etc., the 300 mesh powder is particularly good for this.
You get over 7x more for your money than the 1-2mm stuff in the initial GB post so the GB is swapping to this by popular demand. The boffins conservatively estimate this stuff will last more than 20 years, it doesn't wear out. This stuff even gets mixed into concrete to make the pavement glow!

If your eyes are allowed to adjust to the dark then it is claimed it will glow all night.
The spec on this stuff is good, intensity at charge >10k mcd/m2, after 5mins >1k mcd/m2, after 30mins >200 mcd/m2 and levels off after one hour to about 100 mcd/m2.
