Luminox vs Traser lumes?

[Lenny_Goofoff]

I assume they made by the same manufacturer? soo is Trasers have tritium tubes and Luminox something other? thanks

As far as I know, they are identical in everything but the branding. Both use the same tritium capsule system.

Thanks, Esav… Ive seen an ad with lines "our swiss illumination system" and it made me think they use smth different.

Luminox, Tracer and I think H3 are all the same and all have tritum capsules.

Out of interest here is tritum markers Vs regular charged luminescent markers in the dark.

Luminox (tritum markers)

Tag-Heuer (regular markers)

They both use tritium capsules made by a company called MB Microtec. It appears that MB Microtec markets Traser watches itself while Lumonox is a rebranded Traser.

I like the tritium system because you don't have to charge it with a seperate light source and its light output is constant. Super Luminova markers can be very bright right after you charge them but will fade out if they are not recharged by exposure to light. The Wenger watch that I had became tough to read after about an hour. I ended up with a Luminox 3001.

My regular EDC watch is a Traser. The bezel has always been "sticky" so I just keep it with 60 at 12, but the timekeeping's fine and you can read it in pitch blackness.

I have this H3 Traser. Best watch I've ever had.
