Do they still make/sell Beta lights anymore, you know the one's that were Tritium, or someother isotope based light source

I quite fancy something completely battery free

Well as i recall the radiation emitted was totally harmless, but any and all forms of radiation have restrictions placed on them

I remember seeing a flashlight that's basically a giant tritium sphere sitting in bottom of a reflector, don't remember exactly how much but it made me cringe.
