FIND IT FAST IN THE DARK!
This range of self-illuminated markers and tactical devices is designed to make it safer to operate in the dark. Whether it’s locating an essential piece of equipment quickly at night, or finding a tunnel exit in a hurry, these devices enable you to stay safe when the lights go out.
ALWAYS READY … our markers utilise radioluminescent light sources which require no battery, charging or switching. Firefly markers can be taken straight out of your Bergen and put to use - no need to charge them with a flashlight or worry about whether the battery is charged! They operate normally in all environmental conditions, even underwater, over a service life of 10+ years. These are seriously useful devices for those who operate in darkness.
Tritium is Expensive! Cost: $30,000 per gram. Gaseous Tritium is also used in self-luminous fire safety signs which offer users the most advantageous life-cycle cost of any permanantly illuminated fire safety sign. Typically having a service life of 10+ years, self-luminous signs need no technical maintenance or spare parts during that time....
What is Tritium? First discovered by Mark Oliphant, Ernest Rutherford and Paul Harteck in 1934. It is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen mainly used in research activities, neutron generators and fusion reactors. Tritium is an isotope of Hydrogen with 2 Neutrons & 1 Proton, Deuterium has 1 neutron & 1 Proton and Hydrogen has 0 Neutron & 1 Proton. Our devic...
Radioluminescence Luminescence is the emission of light by materials that are relatively cool. This is different from the light emitted from incandescent materials, such as burning charcoal, wood, paper etc., as the light in those cases results from heat. Since the emission of light is done by relatively cooler materials, luminescence is also called cold-body radiation. Gaseous Tritium's...
