Functional principle

See how our unique technology works

trigalight® are tiny glass tubes which are coated on the inner side with a thin layer of phosphor powder, then filled with a minute amount of tritium gas and sealed airtight. Once the phosphor powder is exposed to the electrons from the tritium gas, it excites the phosphor to emit light in different colors. The light is visible in both low light and complete darkness.
