Stuart Semple LIT - the world's glowiest glow pigment, 100% pure LIT powder

I tried a few different glow paints recently for neck markings on a couple basses. While others are decent and also market as being super bright. This stuff is legit. Do buy the acrylic base to go with it, and it's worth mixing your own and loading it with as much or little powder as you like. Note that you'll have to balance ease of application with how intense your paint will be, how many coats, etc. It far outpaced several other available brands/types of glow paint both in glow and in 'charging'. Some notes:-have care in mixing the powder. It can get all over stuff. put something under the container when you open it for the first time and then use that to scoot the overflow back into the jar. Mix in small quantities. You can't hold onto it once mixed. One use at a time.-Buy a decent UV flashlight for charging if you're not using it for decoration or whatever or if it's in a location that won't get good natural light to charge. Spend the $$ for a good 6-10w LED handheld.-Initial glow can be very strong, and it's persistence does indeed last hours. I tried this out with 5 minutes of charging and then used in complete darkness for over 2 hours and it was plenty bright. I would suspect that yes it would be good for 12+ hours, but obviously will dim substantially.-The super-base they suggest is a good option. It's stood up to wear and tear and regular handling now for a month or more without chipping, peeling or wearing off. As a test I did scrape off a bit to see if it caused damage and it came off with some work and left no marks or damage. It adheres well and seems to stay put.The attached picture is obviously in a well lit room with about 1 minute charging and about 30 seconds after charging so it could dim down a bit. So yeah, bright enough to see in light.

This is, as it is described, a loose powered pigment. It isn't for someone who is unfamiliar with mixing paints. I mixed it into clear polyurethane, at the ration suggested, for three coats. And it worked great. But you have to constantly mix it to keep it from settling. Not a problem, just part of the process. Also, that mixture, when dry, is rough. I lightly sanded it and put 2 coats of clear, straight out of the can polyurethane for a glossy finish.And man is this stuff bright. I got some of the mixture under my nails, and for days, I had a glow in the dark French manicure. It would startle me every time I walked into a dark room.The mixture works well on fabric in a dry brush technique. I don't know how long it will last, but it is going strong at 6 months. That was a random impulse, I spilled some, and turned it into a heart on my t-shirt. Happy accident.

This stuff is easily the brightest glow on the market! But you will need to charge it with a significant amount of light and heat to make it attain its maximum luminance. I let the small jar of the powder sit out in direct summer sun for a few hours. Afterwards the product was so bright it would cast shadows on objects even indoors with all the lights turned on, and I have super bright 2,000 lumen light bulbs throughout my home! It will maintain that maximum brightness for about an hour nd will hold half its maximum brightness for 6 hours or more and reduce to very low around 8 hours but still very visible in a dark space. I've found it will hold some measure of a glow well into 10 hours before needing to charge again. I suggest mixing it with clear nail polish for surface applications and have a super bright flashlight on hand to give it a quick charge as needed.

I have done extensive experiments with this and here is what I found. It’s glowy. Really just a good, nice, glowiness. I compared Lit with Gluminous and they are indistinguishable; both are commendable glowers. They will glow all night from any ordinary charge. I find my slippers and my phone in the predawn morning using this paint. I must advise that the best results have been from using the Stuart Semple Superbase, either with Lit or Gluminous. Other bases just don’t seem to work as well for some reason. The price seems reasonable because a little goes a long way.Oh, and the other guy’s review about being careful when you open the jar - yeah, that’s no joke.
