    Tactical lamps are a good idea.

    I read recently a thread about how important is to have have a god tactic light at hand. We encourage Glow-On users to always have one at hand. For once you can't shot at something unless you can see it.
    Secondly you can rekindle the glow on your sight with the small flashlight in an instant, (not minutes like other products).
    We definitely recommend training with a flashlight and your sidearm as much as possible. Their use includes and by no means is limited to: Aligning down a shot, blinding an attacker momentarily and to direct attention away from our vital parts
    Most gun ranges have training available so contact your local gun range for that.


    We prefer to buy small waterproof flashlights like the one in the photo. They use three small batteries, they can stand some abuse and if you loose one, just pop another one and presto.
    A good strategy is to buy a ten or eight pack (less than $20US) and put them everywhere in your home. A good idea IMO is to wrap a small piece of glow in the dark self adhesive to make them easy to find in the dark(sold in our web store, one small piece is good for at least 4 lamps) .

    Glow-On gun sights paint instead of those plain white dots

    If you have tried a similar product before and you didn't get the satisfaction you're looking for! Try Glow-On. This is the stuff.
    With all the limitations inflicted upon everything artificially created under this earth, we have the edge as of today.

    Glow-On gun sights paint. Affordable alternative to plain white dots.

    There are plenty alternatives out there to make our firearm's gun sights more efficient. Lumen, reflective, optic fiber, laser, red dots, scopes, etc. are a few possibilities.
    While some purists might argue that most of this options are just "crutches", there is no doubt that some specific situations require special equipment. Rapid target acquisition, rapid fire, sharpshooting come to mind.

    The logic choice for the firearms owner depends on his needs and the challenges he/she is expected to confront. A situation that is obviously related to time and place.

    Glow-On will help the gun enthusiast, when used properly, to acquire a target and to align a shot faster in some low light conditions. If you add to the equation the fact that the purchase this product will set you back about the price of a fast food meal, we have IMO a good alternative to the plain sights most firearms come equipped with.

    Give it a try, 100 % money back guaranteed.

    How to apply and use the Glow-On gun sights paint. A few pointers

    First lets focus on the product application, as the thread move along we'll give more pointers on how to properly use this product:

    The process is pretty straightforward.
    Stir the paint, load the applicator, apply small dabs, let it dry, apply transparent nail polish.

    Clean the surface of your gun sights with alcohol (a good grade 91% alcohol, no rubbing alcohol, vodka or gin please)
    Some "tooth" to the surface will definitely help, a couple of passes with fine sand paper are welcome.
    Let it dry 1-3 hours, and cure well, 2-3 days. Before that, glow-On is a bit soft and it can be removed easily.
    A nice transparent layer of nail polish varnish will ad a smooth surface and it'll make it easy to wipe clean.

    Gun sights paint application. Military style sights.

    Glow-On can be applied successfully over any type of iron sights there is.

    We gun enthusiasts are familiar the plain iron sights most vintage firearms have as standard, just like the military-style sights found on the 1911 GI models.
    Glow-On excels when used over this type of sights. There is no need to modify the sights configuration and the luminescent component helps retain the vintage look.

    Please observe on the following photo the application over plain iron sights.

    Just curious as to how this gun sights paint looks in daylight.

    just curious as to how this looks in daylight. I had tried another paint that glows in the dark, it was greenish color. The problem was that i couldn't see the dot in daylight! Was fine at night though. Thanks.

    While most manufacturer's paint is semi transparent or translucent, Glow-On Super Phosphorescent unique formula lets light in but it appears opaque and therefore covers well without the need of a white base coat like other products require, thus adding work which we find unnecessary.

    Here are a few takes:

    Glow-On gun sights paint: How does it really look like?

    One of the more frequently asked questions we receive is this one:"How does it looks , in daylight, in the night,?


    In the beginning, we created our product to have the brightest glow possible and since the material has this properties, to be in one color: Yellowish white in daylight and to have a yellow-green glow.

    Subsequent requests from our customers for different colors gave "light" to Glow-On Colors. Here are some photos which show those colors, in the presence o light and after being excited by light.
    A few notes about the colors:
    The colors are easier to understand if we think in terms of sherbet, that's right they look like sherbet.
    The glow of the orange and red Glow-On have a green luminescence.
    The best balance between day color and glow color is yellow Glow-On and green Glow-On.
    However the blue seems to be a favorite.

    Please keep in mind also that the term paint is loosely used here. The easiest way to apply it is using the small wooden stick we provide or similar, boldly, dabbing small drops, just like in the pictures below.
    Forget about layers, apply it in one movement, if you don't like it start again.
    Don't over work it, if you play with it too much it starts to thicken, making it difficult to achieve a good result.

    A very important thing, the time it takes for it to charge is but a couple of seconds, not minutes. so I guess we'll take a video camera and show that next.

    Thanks for your support.

    Sweet!
    What does a small bottle run?

    This gun sights paint will adhere to anything

    Unlike solvent based paints this is a water based product, however keep in mind that it won't come off your clothes with anything. To remove it, just pry it off with a plastic or wooden object like a brush handle, not to scratch your firearm finish. Other method is to soften it with acetone and then, yes pry it off.

    Gun sights paint: How many firearms can I take care with a small vial?

    Some of our most budget conscious customers have asked how many sets of gun sights can be enhanced with a small vial of Glow-On. So we grabbed a small vial of our product and started dabbing. The results are displayed below.

    Please keep in mind, if you are going to paint the white dots over, you might as well make them bigger for major visibility.

    Gun sights paint turotial #2 by Glow-On

    This example shows how to create glow dots for gun sights.

    Hint: The adhesive layer will not hold the glow material permanently, it has to be rubbed off and Super Glue Gel is used carefully to set it over the gun sight.

    On the next example we deal with the design of a rear sight application
