Novel little safety idea

[cardiffrob]

Bought the kids some Rustoleum glow-in-the-dark paint. Looks almost pure white. I had some left over after they finished f4rting about with it and I painted the light switch, fuse box and door handles inside the (windowless) garage. Light go out...useful thingies start to glow. Simples!

If the lights go out how useful is being able to see the light switch?

 

[MattF]

At least he remembered to paint the door handle too.

Ohh I like glow in the dark paint, the white in the eyes on the faces on my car glow pale blue in the dark

Ahaaaaaaaaaaaaa! The light switch is at the 'house' end of the garage so if you drive in at night and switch off the car lights you can now find the switch in the dark.

Wonder what a car would glow like if I painted the whole body with this paint.

No need to put the lights on, it would be a ghost car, a modern take on the headless horseman

This happened many years ago, Mrs Vark till reminds me about it.
Cyalume light sticks, snap, shake and we have light.

Very useful.
I had a few beers with a friend, he not knowing what a Cyalume light stick was. we decided to cut one open and see what was in it.
All Good.
Until we washed the fluid down the sink.
The U bend was glowing all night.

Mrs Vark not happy.

Way back in day the Armed Forces used Cyalume, but did you know the old style ones would fit a 12 Bore.

I did not, along with friend, who was not there, did not remove the shot from a 12 bore cartridge.
We certainly were not on Cley Hill, we were in a pub.
We did not break, fit and fire the Cyalumes out over the hill producing a spooky green light.
That would get the UFO freaks worked up.

That's why we did not do it.
