Sometimes it's difficult to distinguish between not glowing at all or the faint whitish glow that is sometimes seen. Honestly I think that it depends on the UV source and maybe on who is looking at it. But FWIW, 70s lume generally won't glow very much. Beyond that, you really need firsthand experience. If the lume is dirty or moldy, that can also affect the response in my experience.
