Eternal Light (Kind of)

[rorymax]

As far as I know this kind of thing is not here yet an everyday price that will last for 15 years, technically and price wise it may be just around the corner though, if it is, what uses would you folks use it for.

How do you mean Rory, I've been using tritium stuff for quite a few years. Nite Gloring markers and a couple of watches

As Shewie said, used the keychain markers for a few years. I have one on my pack that I can see if leaving camp, or in the night. I also have one on my keyring. Great help if keys dropped on the floor at night, and a useful marker in the door at night - I keep the key in the lock - and can find it quickly in case of an emergency.

Ah, I did not explain properly Shewie, oops.

I meant when something as tiny - ish, (as in the ad), gets down in price to say three for a dollar.

Maybe I have missed the boat already and they are already everyday penny affordable items,

Shewie, snozz,

I need to check out the interweb for those items.

Thanks,

I'd go for one from a reputable company. Mine have lasted at least a couple of years now with no sign of falling apart or the keyring falling off. Mine is one of these in lime green... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nite-glow-keyring-illuminates-colour/dp/B000EXZNAA

The radioactive tritium has a half life of around 10 years, meaning it will halve in brightness every 10 years.
