Want to paint the hands of a wall clock. Will 2 hrs room light, plus indirect sunlight "charge the paint", to be visable for 6+ hrs? 11pm-6am?

Shine a bright light and it will be glowing all night it does charge somewhat but a light just for a second does great

No. I do not think so. The effects of the daylight as well as the (harsh) weather conditions will take its toll on the painting.Sincerely.

That depends on the setting. I've never had it on long enough to go out. I usually use it on the brightest setting and have had it last >90 min without dimming. I believe the manufacturer states that it can last 2 hours on that setting. Lower settings will obviously last longer.

There's a dial you can turn it to whichever length you want from 30sec to 10min I think. Also another dial for sensitivity of light for how bright the around it to trigger the motion. If there's enough light motion will not turn your light on

I believe you gotta charge it for at least an hour if but I was impatient and only went for half. I have already done three paintings with probably 40 hours down in total. Used it for days and still haven't found the need to recharge. If I can recall correctly, it was mentioned that one full charge should last up to 800 hours.

yes, you will need to let it dry for several hours. You will need to charge the paint with a bright light source in order to get it to glow properly. It is not the brightest paint. I would recommend the ultra-green.

You can dim the clock pretty significantly from the menu. If you face it away from you (and not directly at a reflective surface like a white wall) it should be very dark. (Mine is frequently blocked by the stack of books I tend to keep on my nightstand.)

I doubt it will glow bright enough. There has to be ZERO ambient light to be able to see the glow from this paint.

There's no timer, it's just a simple LED desk lamp with three levels of brightness to chose from. I've left it on for six to seven hours straight while working and it has had no problems; it doesn't get hot or anything like that. It give off a "daylight" type of light which is easy on the eyes and I like it a lot.

I do not think the light was designed to be left on continuously. I have mine set for one minute on when the motion control activates it. I think this setting is adjustable. Even though it is powered by solar batteries, I would think that a couple of hours would be the max on time for a full charge. It was designed as a security light to come on for a short time when triggered. If you need continuous light, a hard-wired device is your best bet.

It depends how long/bright light is directly on them. By sunlight it's only a dim 10 minutes or so, but with direct ceiling light for an hour, you'll get at least 20 minutes.

The light power is adjustable. I don't know the technicality of it, but you should be at a distance where your eyes can look at it occasionally. You need to use it for approximately 30 minutes in the morning or afternoon.

The unit is activated by a photoelectric eye which turns the unit on a dusk. There is a switch to choose either 4 or 7 hours on, or on from dusk to dawn. I guess you could use the last setting with a wall outlet timer to make it time specific. Hope this helps.

Any Motion will activate the light. You should get a light with batteries that are rechargeable outside the light. This one needs a couple hours of sunlight to be usable.

I don't think you can set a specific time. Either set your desired brownness or set it to permanent on.

I've never tried to paint with it. My personal preference is to paint during the day because there are fewer shadows to deal with.
