is the orange suppost to glow in the dark, still in package, exposed to bright light see the green, but no orange, what up

No. The orange is used to acquire a sight picture during daylight. At night all you will see are three green dots from the tritium tubes. Best sight on the market for daylight and night time.

The orange is "glow in the dark" (that's what " photoluminescent paint" means) but like all phosphorescent materials, it needs to be charge in direct light, and discharges over time. It's best not to rely on that at all. It is, however, VERY visible in direct sunlight, which is the main purpose of it. In daylight, the orange dot is your sight. At night, the small vials of tritium (a radioactive isotope of hydrogen) glow with a faint, green-tinted light and are ideal for sighting in low-light situations. (Okay, they glow all the time but you can't seem them in daylight!)While the phosphorescent orange paint will glow... it doesn't glow enough to matter, especially compared to the tritium vials.

The Orange dot on the front sight is for day time use. If you look closely you'll see the both front and back sights "glow" green in the dark.

To be honost I don't know I got the all green sights and they super bright at night and appear white in the sunlight

The orange doesn't glow in the dark. Whenever the sights are on the gun, you'll have green dots on all 3 spots. In light, the front sight will show orange. In night time, it will just be green.

The orange does not glow with tritium. I thought it would too. you need to put it into direct light for a few seconds to charge it up. Not very practical when you need it. :( Of note, on mine anyway, is that the front appears to be slightly vertical and the rears a bit horizontally oblong. This can help with sight placement.

colors will glow at the same rate meaning the green and orange should look the same only different colors.tilt to look at angle at sight straight.

The green will always glow to some extent as it is actual tritium. The orange is a phosphorescent paint. It needs to be charged. Grab a flashlight preferably a higher lumen tactical one and shine it directly on the orange post. Then go into darkness with it. 10 seconds should be good for a minute or two. Any which way I have used alot of the sights on the market and to be perfectly honest. As far as combat sights go these are the best on the market. I am an experienced shooter and have served in the military and LEO. Stick with these sights you won't regret it.

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 orange doesn't glow in the dark so you only see the green tritium in complete darkness. But in normal light the orange jumps out at your eye and on your target.

Yes, they really do glow in the dark. They are pretty pastel colors in the light!

I have glow in the dark pebbles. Black lights never seemed to do much to them. I think the Light has a hard time penetrating through the water. But that's just a guess. Go buy yourself a black light poster. Then if the pebbles don't work out you've got yourself something sweet

I bought the black and they do NOT glow in the dark. Not sure about the neon yellow pair.

No. There are a variety of colors, but no glow in the dark according to my kids.

The high frequency violet ray should give off a violet glow. If yours is glowing orange and you ordered a violet ray then they sent you the wrong item. jlw

I put mine in strips on the stairs so the kids wouldn't trip when coming down at night. The stairwell is pretty dim during the day, but the strips still seem to glow bright enough through the night. If it's still dark-ish when I go up to wake them for school, I can still see the faint green glow. I'm happy with them.

Mine does not glow in the dark. But still I recommend it. I have had it for a year now, It is a very nice addition in my backyard. I am very pleased with it. It is very well built, It looks and it spins great. I absolutely recommend it.

I didn't get them because they got lost in the mail and I, yes ME had to contact the seller to find out just where the heck my sights that I paid for were. I did however get a refund and have checked these out at my local dealer and in the day time, they may glow, but the white around them would make for better acquisition, but in the dark, they're AWESOME! This is a great price (if you actually GET them) how this helps. Sorry for the delay

White does not glow in the dark..I don't recall how many were in the package..I found EBAY prices much less for these bands

Honestly, I cannot see it in the dark. My ++ review was based on ease of installation. Maybe if it was exposed to light it would glow. Unfortunately, how do you expose it to light in the dark? Sorry I could not help. I am staying with the factory sight.

hello and neither did mine. It did arrive in a sealed package. When you hold down the button it turns on and glows... when you let go, it turns off. I guess thats all there is to it lol. I did find that depending how hard you held down the rather firm button it glowed brighter and therefore worked better, but because of this it was tough to hold down when wanting to get at certain angles of the things you may be working on. Hope this helps and best of luck!

yes, you would still be able to see the dark blue ball underneath. As long as you charge the glow paint it will glow. Ultra-green is much brighter and glows longer.

hi, this stickers are shining in the dark but almost invisible in the daylight. stars glow in your dark bule wall, that's a amazing picture~

The Jelly PAR have a translucent case (see the white in the picture) so some of the light glows around the cans. Not alot, but enough with haze to make it look cool around the lights. With the others you have a black case and no light escapes out the back.
