Pelican Emergency Flashlight with Photoluminescence

Pelican Emergency Flashlight with Photoluminescence If you've ever had your power go out in the evening and found yourself stumbling around in the dark to find your flashlight, you may be interested in a glow-in-the-dark flashlight like this one by Pelican (that also happens to contains a 4-hour backup bulb). From the site:

...outfitted with a lens ring that emits a bright glow in the dark. The new generation photoluminescent material in the plastic absorbs the energy from any light source - fluorescent lights, the sun, or even the flashlight's own beam

As useful as charging the photoluminescent matierial on the flashlight with the beam from the flashlight itself sounds, one might be better off storing the flashlight in the garage rather than a broom closet to expose the material to some light, both natural and artificial, during the day. The description suggests the material is 'new generation' - and it would have to be, as the stuff found in toys and trinkets never lasted long enough for any practical purpose. Perhaps Pelican used something along the lines of this material that is both brighter and longer lasting.

Something to think about before the next late night power outage.
