Say you were to purchase Glow-On, which is a glow in the dark gel used typically on gun sights... would this be sufficient to "invisibly" recharge it?

I know what Glow-On is, and it's a fantastic product! (In theory, I don't own it, but I see the potential.) However, I honestly am not entirely sure if this would 'recharge' it per say. Glow-in-the-dark materials require bright, visible light in order to activate their molecular fluorescence. I can only GUESS that the answer is no, but I could be wrong.

This is not a "true" night vision device. The reticule is powered by tritium so it can be clearly seen in the sight but if the is no ambient light you will not see the target.

Not this pack. There are glow in the dark packs, but I'm not really sure how strong those actually glow.

You are right. It does not glow no matter how much is sprayed on. I will never buy it again.

it works off reading the shadow of the bullet so it may or may not work. You could take a portable incandescent lamp to shine on top of it, using the included shade shields.

You can visibly see the illuminators glow but it is faint, as is their usefulness. It will work if the object you're trying to illuminate is very close (within 4 feet or so) but outside of that the LED lights are very ineffective.

No, it won't. The ones for the shield have not been released to the general public. Check with your local gun supply store. We were able to find the Apex trigger kit and tritium night sights.

It should glow right away. Check to make sure your plug is 'live'. Otherwise, you got a defective unit.

It comes off easily. I've tried it on two different pistols. I left it on a full sized pistol and am satisfied with the outcome. I also tried the paint on the sights of a small concealed carry pistol with very small snag free sights. Those sights were too small for what I was attempting to do, so I removed the Glow-On with no damage to the stock sights.

My Meprolight sights do not "glow" in daylight. They are just visible white dots. My guess is that is true of all the tritium sights, but I do not have any direct experience besides the ones I have. It's not clear to me why you would want a glowing light sight in daylight.

I sprayed it on a rock (twice) some time ago. I haven't seen it glow. It could be that it's a rock. Good luck!

Glow under a black light I'm not sure about that but they do sell uv eyeshadow that will definitely glow under a black light

I doubt it. I use them on paper for highlights on doodling art on paper and I've never seen them glow in the dark.

Yes, you can we used to put them on young solders backs for night training. They glowed great in NVGs. There is a lot of thin sharp glass in side. we pour them through a screen.

Ive got several sets. They all glow well in the pitch black. No trouble finding sights in dark. Only front sight glows

The front green dot (tritium) glows at night, but you can't see the big white ring around it though, and you can't see the hash mark on the rear sight. I bought these in a rush, and purely on a recommendation. While I agree that the sights are super effective in daylight-to-low light conditions, when it comes to usage at night I wouldn't feel confident with them. I feel more like I would be guessing where I'm aiming, which is the last thing someone would want to do. If you'd like a recommendation, I'll let you know how I make out with the TruGlo TFX Pro tritium/fiber optic sights.

No. They recommend a glue that you ant even find. I installed a set screw on mine and it works fine. Very bright sights. As good as the expensive brand.
