Today I learned that it is illegal to sell tritium in the us but it is not illegal to buy it in the us...so here is a website selling tritium trinkets that come from taiwan!

They are like glow sticks that last for 10 years, it is perfectly safe unless maybe you were drinking liquid tritium for a few weeks.

  • Since when is it illegal to sell tritium in the US? Gun companies selling tritium glow in the dark sights all the time.

    • Actually now that you mention it I think you are half right after looking into it more.

      It does seem like it is actually heavily regulated and not necessary illegal, but I guess this would mean illegal for unlicensed people to sell.

      If I had to guess most sellers in the us with tritium in their products aren't selling tritium but rather selling procured items with tritium and thats probably a legal workaround for that.

  • I've have one on my keychain for years, it's great. Not visible during the day, but just bright enough at night to make them easy to spot.
