I'm a Luminoid!
on: March 29, 2024, 08:19:13 AM
I've always liked glow in the dark stuff, especially watches. The glow, the magical luminescence and seeing it light up something was fascinating.  I have a Timex Indiglo and I like it but it's not the same.

I remember reading about radium and then tritium but the long term durability wasn't long. Recently in the past few years (since 90's) they seemed to have really improved this technology and I'm reading it's called: "Lume" and it's making watches amazing~! LumiNova and Super-LumiNova are words I'm seeing and now C3 and BGW9! what-daah!  :think:

I just got a super inexpensive watch: Infantry (brand) MDC


(stock photos)

it was 25 bucks on Amazon! I like it but the luminescence only lasts about 5 minutes (brightest) and fades real fast.

Now I've ordered (the wife did actually for our anniversary) a "Wise Hitman Hit66" full lumen Special Edition:

(more stock photos)

and this is suppose to last hours! and it's perdy :drool:  It's also suppose to be the brightest glow of all.
Tons of videos on youtube about it if you wanna see it compared.
I will post pictures when I get it  :salute:
