Just a quick update, I won a box of Grauvell mini tip lights at the Yaverland meet and greet raffle and they are much better than any of that ebay shite, and on par with the ones that Andy was selling a while back. I don't know who it was who donated them but thanks anyway

I bought a load off Ebay last year, Glow brothers i think it was, they were also poor quality. luckily i was able to sell most of them to me fishing buddies still getting it in the neck six months on.

Avoid anything that isnt in a sealed foiled pack. My mate was chuffed as nuts when he got 500 tip lights...... that came in a single plastic sealed bag Next to useless.

I know what you mean Dave but that ebay crap was all in sealed individual packages with nice little bags of silica gel, the problem was that the actual product was toss! Any moisture getting in couldn't have made it any worse

Ah right. The ones my mate got were from askari. I think they do some good stuff on offers...... but there tip lights sure aint!

We got stitched up with some ones once that came in a CARDBOARD packet and although the pic on the packet was green, the actual lights were PURPLE
The glow was so dim, you couldnt see them even with night sites on!
Still got a full box of them if anyone wants them

The best lasting ones are the ones that you can see a single cell glass pod in (through the main liquid). Used the same one for 7 days once, but if left in a cool dry place (ie a rod bag) they will glow for 14.

[maxwell]

Maybe thats the powder tube Dave, the ones i've got dont have that, maybe thats why they are crap

[greysfanboy]

Yeah the powder is sealed in that little glass tube and reacts with the liquid, which is why they need a good shake. The crap ones I have used are just semi-transparent and you can't see the tube inside. They look more like what those idiots in nightclubs shake around when they dance, except they don't actually glow

Yeah, the ones like the starlight ones you get from most tackle shops are toss. Those night club twonks sure waste a good few starlights
