New bottle with tip appicator

For the new bottles with tip aplicator, the procedure is explained on the picture to the right.

The product is the same, please clean the surface and let it dry and cure.

Keep the tip clean, clear any obstruction wit a paper cip.

How does it work?
Expose Glow-On for a few seconds to a bright source of light to charge it like an LED lamp. Energy is slowly released in the form of afterglow.

This cycle can be repeated indefinitely for the median life of the product, about 15 years.

How does Glow-On compare to others

Glow-On is opaque, there is no need to paint a white background to cover dark surfaces.

Glow-On is dense. Itoffers great tolerance to high and low temperatures.

Great adherence to most surfaces.

Glow-On will stick to most surfaces as long as they are free of oil residue.

Clean the surface with alcohol and a clean paper towel.

Let it cure for a few days for the adherence to become permanent.

For how long will Glow-On glow after exposure to light?

The product absorbs light and then it releases that energy slowly for a long period of time. Obviously, the glow then is a lot dimmer than the source of light used to charge it. But it only takes a few seconds to charge it.

A few tips for the use of this product:

What is this "Night Vision"?
Night vision is the natural adaptation of the human vision which allows us to "see" in the dark.

It usually kicks in after 30 minutes in a dark environment.
How does night vision help?:

The glow on this product is very bright for the first fifteen minutes, brighter than tritium, the intensity dims down after awhile and at a slow pace.
When the intensity falls under the luminance level of light in the room, then it only can be seen in complete darkness.
Then our human vision also adapts to this darkness and we can "see" in the dark.
The vision, at this point works a bit different, focusing on the peripheral vision because the cells at the center of vision are "burned' by daylight.

At this level, color cannot be appreciated so regardless of the product, what we see is a whitish glow.

To help your eyes, focus your vision slightly to one side from the glow. Since the center of vision losses sensitivity with years of use, the correct way to "see in the dark" is to use your peripheral vision.

How our eyes perceive objects in the dark?

Human night vision enhance peripheral vision in th dark.

In the night contast is perceived better than color.

The center of vision is a bit blind during the night, direct yur vision slightly to one side to 'see' clearly.

Complete decay happens @1800 minutes approximately, the human perception range is between 5 and 10 hours, depending on the individual and conditions.
