Luminescent (Glow in the dark) Self Adhesive Film (Green) - 1200mm x 200mm
Luminescent Film (1200mm x 200mm) - This large sheet of self adhesive glow in the dark stuff is great for any application that needs to..............glow in the dark! Ideal for car shells, heli canopy's, night flying and UFO hoaxes. This is not the ordinary stuff that fades after a few minutes, oh no, this is super-mega glow in the dark stuff that can last hours with enough exposure to light, now you no longer need to decorate your model like a Christmas tree for night flying, charge the film with a flashlight and drive/fly!
* Non-Toxic, Non-Radioactive Self Adhesive PET Film * 30 minutes charge will give up to 5 hours glow! * 5 Years life used outdoors, up to 8 years life when used indoors.
Just be careful though UV is bad for your eyes, heh so don't look into the light as you're charging it, and UV has a tenancy of breaking plastics down. So Im not sure what effect using pure UV light on it would have over the life of the stip..... Not that it really matters at $4.58 for a massive rectangle you get.....
Depends on what surface you want to stick it to. I have found that this works well on the body of my 250 helicopter, but is not bright enough for blades. Most surfaces just need to be clean or even lightly sanded with 600-800 sandpaper.
Depends on who you talk to, I just simply stuck it on the aluminum arms of my Quadcopter. Seems to be fine. Although, some people like using an ammonia based window cleaner, or rubbing alcohol, then wiped dry before application.
I absolutely totaly need them but that packing weight... Did they come rolled on some tube or what? They should sell bigger or smaller version. 1.2x0.2m is too much and too less.
it will print : yes ..... but it will not last becasue the surface of this adhesive is not prepared for printing. I suggest you to use a cutter/plotter do make any lettering.
best way to charge GID material is UV light. It all depends on spectrum of light. Lower wave lenght (UV, blue), more energy to GID. But higher wavelenght (red, IR) discharge GID.... So: UV, violet, blue light is best... Green is not too good, yelow don't charge... Orange, red, IR discharge GID... But it's not that simple becase most of sources have multiple wavelengh from booth sides of spectrum.
mine was nicely rolled and then pushed into a small little box. When you order make sure you order with a large item so there is plenty of room in the box.
Mine was folded in the bottom of the box with the rest of the order on top, Tiny wrinkles where the backing came off, but absolutely nothing to worry about.
OK a honest answer here is this really bright enough to fly with no other lights? at any distance???? I like the idea but is it bright enough for real?
Going to test it. The question is if it can be seen at a distance of 2 km horizontally as well as vertically. Though I believe it depends on weather, Moon et alia.
Friend, it's really bright, flying in the dark if you can expose any kind of light shining bright (10 cm car headlight for example) for one minute that he will be quite bright but for 40 minutes. Tested and approved!
Try this sheet with and UV LED pointed to it. if it is the "right" glow material it will light up madly! I don't need it now or else I would test it...
Friend, this is a tape that glows in the dark, does not have any kind of electronics and you can cut in the desired format.
Amigo, isso é uma fita que brilha no escuro, não possui qualquer tipo de eletrônica e voce pode cortar no formato que desejar.
It doesn't matter for other uses but for RC planes the actual weight is very important. I've backordered some anyway and I'll decide how much to use on planes depending on weight and the rest I'll use around the house beside light switches and door knobs etc.
The weight is 106 grams for the sheet. The backing paper is 1/3 of that weight, so 69 gram for the film itself. I measured a pice, 26 x 39mm and separated the backing (0,147 grams) from the film (0,276 grams), so those numbers are for real.
Quick way to add more WOW to the night flyer. Different colours would be nice but it is a easy start. Put a sheet in my next order for sure. As for charging, I will just put it on the front seat of the truck in the sun while at the field. I sure am not going to last 5 hours of night flying the bugs would finish me off long before that.
I can do the math, but that would include the assumption that the charge time and the glow time are linearly related. Doing the math does not yield a trustfull answer if you are based on assumptions! I would have thought that the said relationship is exponential, since decay rate is usually exponential...
Yea.. assuming your power could last 5 hours... so really.. 5 hours = 300 minutes. If you fly for only 10 minutes, divide 30... so 30 mins divide by 30.. you only need to charge 1 minute for 10 minutes flight. 2 min charge enough for 20 minutes glow...
Sounds like my broad band, that's up to something that you never get. Whats more important is the half life intensity. not 5hrs, I guess the initial brightness will decay fairly rapidly.
Brown outs are when you fly a heli way to close to yourself and nearly cut your own head off. When this happens you need a light so you can check your pants and see if any brown came out, hence the term brown-out. This is 100% fact
Yep. Wasting half an hours free daylight out of around 12 hours worth every day is a lot. Or you could be realy extravagent and expose it to some electric light if there isn't enough in a day for you.

Great product, arrived not so nice packed, like all decals at hk, verry bright. You must charge with an smd led is better than normal flashlights, do not apply on big surfaces because you need something big to light it up, also remember 30 min of charging will last for hours.

Ottimo prodotto. molto luminoso!
Basta anche un solo minuto per raggiungere la massima luminosità. Non è necessario tenerlo per 30 minuti, ma è importante che la luce sia molto forte anche per pochi secondi.

Does this adhesive sheet get all crushed and wrinkled in HobbyKings desire to stuff it into the postage box?
