Self-Luminous Tritium Tube

About Self-Luminous Tritium Tube

The Self - Luminous Tritium Tube, Excellent quality assurance. It can self - emit light continuously for 25 years without external charging, providing a long - lasting and stable light source.

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

Q: What precautions should be taken during installation?

A: The neon tubes are made of glass, so special care is needed during the installation process. For example, situations such as the product slots not matching the size of the neon tubes, using excessive glue which causes the glue to expand and crush the neon tubes after solidification, pressing the neon tubes with hard objects, and the presence of small burrs in the slots can all lead to damage to the neon tubes. For novice users, we strongly recommend that you operate with caution during installation!

Q: How bright are the neon tubes? Do they also light up during the day?

A: Neon tubes are weak light sources. They will continuously emit light both day and night. However, the ambient light during the day is relatively bright, which will overshadow the weak light emitted by the neon tubes. Therefore, you can only see the light from the neon tubes in the dark.

Q: Can neon tubes be cut?

A: No. Neon tubes are glass tubes filled with neon gas. If the glass tube is cut, the neon gas will be released, and the product will be irreversibly damaged.

Q: Are neon tubes harmful to the human body?

A: As a low - energy beta - ray emitter, the electrons emitted by neon have very low energy during propagation. In water, they can only penetrate a distance of a few micrometers and cannot even penetrate the outer layer of human skin. Therefore, when neon is encapsulated in a glass tube, the emitted electrons cannot penetrate the glass layer. This ensures that neon tubes do not produce harmful radiation to the human body and guarantees their safety.

Q: If a tritium tube is damaged, how much radiation will it produce to the human body?

A: If 10 tritium tubes of 1.5*6mm are damaged simultaneously, they will produce approximately 0.01 mSv of radiation, which is equivalent to the radiation from smoking 10 cigarettes. In comparison, a single abdominal CT scan will produce approximately 10 - 25 mSv of radiation.

Q: How long can a tritium tube emit light?

A: The half - life of tritium is 12.3 years. Theoretically, it can continuously emit light for nearly 25 years. However, after 12.3 years (one half - life), the brightness will be reduced to half of its current level, and the effect will also be diminished.
