I want to paint some bobbers for night fishing. Will this work? How long does the glow last? Can it be seen from 50 feet away?

It will last as long as anything else there is out there, and it's as bright as anything else there is. Having said that the brightness is best at first and then it fades over time but this type lasts with at least some glow for hours. It's not the same as a light but it's paint, so at least there is some slight glow after quite a while. If you want it to continue being pretty bright then you will have to recharge it often with a bright flashlight or the sun etc.

I attempted to do this very thing when I first received the wireless presenter. My large LCD television would technically display the green laser dot, but it was very tiny and virtually impossible to find beyond about six feet distance from the TV. It definitely wasn't "glowing" like it appears when pointing it at a painted surface. It's simply not practical for this type of use. Works great on a projector screen though!

I am fairly sure the nightlight function will allow the run time to last longer. Maybe you can look into another product if you need a flashlight for longer than two hours, but for my needs, that time frame of usage is perfect.

Yes, anything flourescent or bight white will glow, it works just like a regular blacklight.

I used it to paint shells and it looks great and glows pretty good as for painting glass jars it paints clear just don't glob a bunch on. I recommend the green for the longest glow it does glow for awhile.

Absolutely. I haven't tested for various distances, but they're good bright little lights. They lit up neon stickers 5-7 feet away; they could possibly have done more; I just never tried.

How far? Not sure how to answer. It puts out a lot of light at short distance for working on equipment after dark. I can put it on a metal cabinet about 4 feet away from the generator and have plenty of light to service the machine. When using it as a flashlight, it works as a flood light, wide beam but not "bright", plenty of light to see what you are walking through and provides enough illumination to tell the difference between a cat and a skunk at 30 feet.. The kid steals it all the time to walk down and feed the horses, overall a good light to have, especially when the power goes out.. How far? Not sure how to answer.

Sorry,but,I have never tried to ascertain if it actually glows in the dark or not...Or may be like the so called solar watch`s,at least those in the 1990`s...may be it got fried by the sun...may be the company`s web site might help.

There's a couple of problems with this idea, unfortunately. For one thing, this particular light has a halogen bulb, and has a duty cycle of 10 minutes on/10 minutes off to prevent overheating. It's not automatic, so you'd need two to keep one on at all times, and also, you'd need some kind of timed outlet device to alternate them. In addition, the duty cycle might be even shorter near a tree on the ground because of the decreased airflow. I used a light similar to this one at a party and had it sit on a table, and I smelled smoke only halfway into its duty cycle. It didn't actually flame up, but these do get really hot. Another thing, unless the tree is very skinny and bare, I doubt the light would be visible past the bottom. I've never used tinsel, but I don't know if the light would go anywhere to make it noticeable. It wouldn't be the same effect as traditional lights in the tree. If you still want to try, I'd at least recommend you search for an LED light; those run cool and the bulbs last for a much longer time.

With the moonlight setting on it should give you the effect you're looking for. A dark background and surroundings will help them glow during the day too.

It has 48 red eys and it indeed does glow. And I seen it to about 5 ft away.

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.

Starting at dark, we noticed a low glow until we went to bed so how long after that I don't know. I know at least two hours then after that, don't know! :) You won't be covering much with one package of this. So far we have gotten two & will be adding to it as we can.

The light should be bright enough to be able to see probably a 3-4 ft. swath around it. Probably need to replace the bulb. about 2 times a yr. I take mine out and wash it with a rag to get bug residue off. Might want to try that first. It's a simple process only takes about 10 min. Hope I've helped ya a little.

Daytime its excellent. I use it to cover my yard sale out the window about 150 feet away. (yes somtimes people try to take things if Im not right there to watch it. At least this way I get a view of their car so I can report it.) At night beyond 7-8 foot it gets more and more faint the further away you are. Finally about 10-12 feet away its totally black again. It could pick up a person walking by or sneaking in but you would not be able to see many details beyond about 8-10 feet. Check out my video demo on YouTube. Search for video ZPqF25zfC5k or check out the video demo from Amazon fan,in the reviews section. Any background light at all really helps this unit with distances beyond 8 feet. A nightlight on, even moonlight coming in, or a streetlamp outside the window can make the room still be light enough. Hope that helps. Nick- onlinenterprises Just click this link to get one from me.

I believe it will. It is more ink than paint and is really meant for silkscreening. I have used it to paint on glow in the dark skeletons on t-shirts. As with slot of glow in the dark stuff, it is very bright immediately after being exposed to light but then fades relatively quickly. It recharges very quickly. 5-10 minutes.

Tough to answer because it all has to do with how much glow you want. For bright glow, my guess based on past use would be two ounces for 20-25 sq ft. Another concern, even application: Don't expect an even glow; expect to see brush strokes and drips (in glow mode). The best way to minimize that is by doing several thin coats, not just one application, and to mix your batch constantly - stuff settles really fast! I use clear acrylic paint. Also, it is very bright, not suitable for a bedroom. Great fun is to stand next to your wall in the dark, turn on and off the light and see cool silhouettes.
