    lume test (almost 8 hrs) It was hard to photograph the lume
    when it had faded. You could however read the time quite easily.

    Full Charge: 3:00 pm

    open shutter 2 min. High ISO; 10:25 pm

    i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn113/westlynn/DSC_0811.jpg

    open shutter 30 sec. High ISO: 10:50 pm

    This type of photography is not my forte. I would say the lume passed the test.

    Best,

    Thanks Joe ...

    ... I've tried doing the eight hour test and I know how hard it is to get a clear image on film (or chip) even it it appears brighter in the flesh.

    I thought the green lume on the bezel would have been more visible in the last image given its brightness in the first.

    Thanks again.

    Cheers from the cellar.

    PS. Looking at the lume on the dark background certainly shows that my computer screen needs a clean!!

    Joe, I almost tried it myself...

    but for similar reasons I decided that such a venture was beyond my means of affording credible feedback. I gave mine a blast of about 5 lumens over a 30 second time-period and I had to hide my watch to finally fall asleelp. Normal daylight will keep a new AT awake for hours.

    This is a typical result after 8 hours. nt
