Hit up candle power forums. There some dudes who sling those over there, or you can find the vials and make your own. If you use them, make sure to drop the coin on the uv optical adhesive that dries under uv. It dries clear, all epoxy yellow with age.

How the fuck does one buy one of those? The beta light website doesn't give me any options to give them my hard earned money.

Yeah I guess due to tritium being radioactive our laws are pretty strict on how it is sold. I haven't dealt with buying tritium for a few years so I really don't remember what the laws are anymore though. But if you need any tritium follow the links I posted above and search that forum a little bit and you will probably find what you seek. |

I bought some tritium lamps (4mm x 25mm) a couple years ago from CPF user merkava. They are awesome.

Do you have night sights on your carry gun? From what I read a few years ago the tritium vials are really safe. You just don't want to breathe in the gas if you break a vial. |

Beta doesn't penetrate the glass (from the inside). I seriously doubt I could even detect the presence of the tritium with the (crappy, old, but functional) geiger counters I have access to.

Quote HistoryI want to order some of those yellow disks of uranium, stick it in a lead box labeled yellow cake uranium, and in the radiation warning put "Will strip the paint off your house and give you a permanent orange afro".
ETA: Awe they used to sell pressed disks of uranium ore that had a yellow color. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: My radiation safety officer gets visibly nauseous when i talk about bringing one of those things to work. Beyond that the low energy beta radiation can only travel about 2 feet in the air. Up close, a piece of paper will stop the beta radiation completely. It is so low energy, it's difficult to detect without special equipment. Your 'radiation safety officer' should know that. Tape one of the glow capsules to the underside of his chair, and then show it to him months later.
