Infared Flashlights and glow in the dark stuff?????

[Mykl Clark]

Hi guys, I don't know what made me think of this but will infared lights (such as the photon) charge glow in the dark stuff. If not then Ihave zero need for one and if so I'm not sure it warrants buying one just to make stuff glow but who knows.

------------------
Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get me.

I think ultraviolet light charges glow-in-the-dark stuff.

Infrared (IR) is at the low energy end of the spectrum. You need the high energy ultraviolet (UV) to charge those glow-in-the-dark items -- like TV screens!

There are UV-Photons also.

Check with your optometrist or ophthalmologist; companies give out disposable flashlights with a UV filter (it passes UV light only) on the end; they are used for examining the cornea with a UV flurorescent material. (S)He may have an extra or two. You could have mine, but the batteries are long dead, and not replaceable.
