I want to recreate this key chain, hopeful wishing id want it to permanently glow and not have to be recharged.
The easiest way i would imagine would be to use a tritium light but i cant find one ball shaped.
Im open to other ideas, but does anyone know where or even if i can get a ball shaped tritium light?

Get a bunch of these, then encase in a ball of epoxy or whatever, then encase it in a bigger ball of epoxy then sand to sphere shape, or whatever

Thought about it, would be nice to have a sphere shaped light but if not then that'll have to do.
Wonder how i can hide the vials, maybe a milky resin encased in a clear resin?
>>984424
That's pretty much what you'd want to do, yes. Although layering transparent and translucent layers will allow more light through than a solid translucent chunk.
>>984432
good point, i'll either do that or line the vials along the inside of the ring and make the sphere completely clear

There are no "spheres", the best you can get are tadpole/teardrop shaped ones. Oh, they are also, FUCKING EXPENSIVE.

There is a reason it is prohibitively expensive...
>>986834
And what is that reason?
>>987117
They are really rare and not made anymore.
>>987119
Huh, why not?
I know tritium is rare but its not so rare that i cant buy vials of it off ebay.

Because in large amounts, it makes a bad day into a terrible day once some rag head gets their hands on it.
>>984404
Look up strontium aluminate. You can get it in crystals, powder, or all kinds of mixed and molded shapes. It's cheap too.
>>987325
I have some paint made with that and its nice and all, but i want something that glows naturally.
>>987401
you could hide a UV LED or have it sit on a UV led charger.
YOu won't be able to see the UV but it'll keep it bright as fuck.
