I read a few threads about glowrings, but they aren't available I guess in the good old US of A. Seems like a great way not to lose your keys. Are there any equivelent gadgets out there?
 
Just because Glowrings aren't publicly available doesn't mean that you can't get them here in the US. :D If you look around here on the BF, Knifeforums, or the Candlepower forums, they pop up for sale/trade every now and then. I got a couple of green ones from a friend of mine up north.
 
you could try this product called "half life." texasknife.com sells it.


it's like powdered luminova. you mix it with clear epoxy to make a nice, luminescent resin. it works fairly well. not tritium, but good enough.



you have to be careful though. i got a pack and was so freaking excited i made all my EDC glow. the idea was because in the dark i have to fumble for items. now instead of fumbling for my knife/phone/watch in pitch black, i'm fumbling through all these glowing globs on my desk. go figure. :/

I have been putting off asking this question for quite a while now. I don't want to look stupid, but I just got to ask. What the hell is a Glowring????

There are no stupid questions; only stupid people who ask questions ;) Just kidding. I didn't know what they were either and I don't have a link. Basically, they are a little cylinder with some glow in the dark stuff in it that you attach to your keyring in case you drop your keys in the dark. Probably more uses than that, but thats what I was looking at.

You can find more info on Glowrings at this site here and here.

There is also a new model Glowring out called the X2.
