bascule Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 This company claims to have combined tritium gas with tiny spheres of a phosphor gas which can be mixed into paint-like coatings. They claim 12+ years of lighting at $0.35 for an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper's worth (or 0.25 Euros for an A4 sheet of paper's worth, to use more ecumenical units): http://peswiki.com/index.php/Directory:MPK_Co%27s_Litroenergy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 "Exit" signs (and perhaps others) have been available with tritium and a phosphor for years. Tritium is useful because it's low energy, beta only — there's no gamma. No batteries needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Thats cool. I wonder why they didn't have a picture of some one reading with white light. Make nice emergency lighting/escape route thingys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
