Tritium Key Lanterns

Anybody know of anyone still making tritium key fobs on the forums. I used to see them listed in the "Makers" sales threads but haven't in a long time.

They are getting hard to come by. Its a pain to ship them, they are expensive, and I think the market has just gone to small LEDs. I've wanted one for a very long time, but I have never been able to justify the price, shipping, and another thing I cannot fly with, depending on the rules.

I've found a few sites on the web that sell them but your right....they are expensive. I'll probably order one but I thought I'd give the business to someone here on the forums first if I could find someone who made them.

Market must have dried up. I could not justify the upgrade of my membership to continue with my skull lanyards because the sales dropped so much.
Love the trit fobs. I have a few from different makers on my keys. The first one I ever got was a mini nuke pod from Tom Anderson.
The lowest priced one came from ebay I removed the glow stick it came with and replaced it with a trit tube from a Nite glowring.

I may try to cobble something together as well. I really want the housing to be titanium with a tritium insert.

I've got the one's from over 15 years ago on my keys. I used to order from England before the ban, I remember a package coming, taking it in through my dark garage and it was glowing, maybe 20 pieces in it. I'm impressed that they are still glowing bright.
