Roger,
You have no idea how many torches and other glowing, blinking, flashing and all other manner of light emitting trinketary I've owned over the years.... I know that cause I don't either!
I can tell you that as I sit here typing I can lay my hands on 6 different torches without leaving my seat! :lol:
It's an addiction! :loco: :)
Jari,
Happy to have helped a little.... This might prove to be quite a fun thread once a few more designs get posted up.... I'm assuming that a few of you will add some photo's to it? ... You better had! :worthless:
Hi Wes,
Glad you like the idea too. Pic's expected from you as well (if you do try one) :thumbup:
Ralph.

Oooow!
This holder would be just great for a tritium glow tube. It glows continuously via safe alpha radioactive decay. I have one on my key chain, but your holder would be wonderful.
I can't buy the tritium tubes here in the States because our Atomic Energy Commission have ruled that it is frivolous use of atomic energy (no sense of humor at all).
But, one can buy them on ebay from China and I believe you can buy them in stores in the UK.

Hi Dick,
Yes. The radioactive ones are available here.... Without the plastic keyring too :)
The link is in the first few replies under the main post. A UK based company but will ship abroad. Would work out very expensive though!
But no reason why you can't transfer the one you have into a brass holder. If you encase it in acrylic tubing then it would provide protection too... Not too sure how fragile they are?
China might be cheaper too.... Just hope they don't use depleted uranium or something instead :bugeye: :lol:
Pictures of anything you do make eh? :thumbup:
Ralph.

Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen. During WWII, a vial of this material was mounted next to luminous dials in the cockpit. Made them glow like crazy. Unfortunately, the glow is rather dim. Your powder would initially beat it by miles.
That's by the by. Very nice turning on this project. I am jealous.
