Charging Luminova

[ref1655]

while I am assuming that most folks accomplish this via daylight or LED exposure, some might go to extremes to achieve a longer & more brilliant glow.

case in point...a co-worker had been using quartz halogen lamps (similar to the old Cibie Z-Beams) & over a period of time, fried his GMT to the point where the crystal eventually warped, the internal gaskets melted & the lubrication all but dried up. on the other hand, that watch sure could glow... even in daylight shade or on an overcast day.

when he eventually took it in for repairs, the RSC asked him if he had been to the planet Mercury.

moral of the story...for some folks, a Timex Indiglo is more than sufficient.
