Impressive performance of the superluminova

Probably the best lume picture i ever saw. The first picture is comparing tritium to superluminova.

For similar performance, simply hold your Rolex in front of this light for approximately 10 seconds.

Your explorer has good lume but how can somebody make his watch have a lume like the sub above?

That's the Luxor Hotel in my hometown of Las Vegas. The laser lights at the top can be seen from outerspace and there are airspace restrictions for overflying. Although helicopter flights will take you right up next to it. (It zaps bugs in milliseconds)

Frostie, look at the second hand sweep on that photo.....That's an exposure of about 30 seconds. My Explorer shot is less than 10 seconds... The longer the exposure, the brighter the lume appears to be.

Here's one of my Sub with an exposure of 7 seconds.

Luminova is darn impressive for the first 30 minutes, but try 6 hours later, thats when Tritium gives Luminova a run for it's money

Too true.

Step inside from a sunny day and you can see bright lume in a crowded pub.

Get up in the morning to see what time it is, and your eyes better be pretty clear
