Gear Aid Ni Glo Gear Marker - Green
Gear Aid Ni Glo Gear Marker - Green
The Ni Glo Gear Marker is a rechargeable glow-in-the-dark marker about 2 inches long that clips to whatever you need to find in the dark. It runs on stored light, not batteries: leave it in the sun, hold it under a headlamp, or set it by a lantern, and the photoluminescent core soaks up the light and gives it back as a steady green glow. Ten minutes under any light gets you a usable glow; two hours of direct sun tops it off for the full run.
Once charged it glows up to 10 hours. It's brightest in the first minutes, then settles into a constant glow you can pick out from up to 25 feet away in full dark. That makes it a find-your-gear marker, not an area light: clip the green one to a tent zipper, a pack, your keys, or a headlamp so you're not patting the ground at 2am. It's also IPX8 waterproof and submersible to 164 feet, plus dust- and weatherproof, so rain, snow, and a dropped-in-the-creek moment don't faze it.
No batteries to swap, no tritium, nothing to wear out. The green marker ships with a split ring so it's ready to clip to gear straight out of the package.

Does it need batteries?
No. The Ni Glo is photoluminescent — it stores light and re-emits it. Charge it from any light source and it recharges indefinitely. There's no battery and no tritium to wear out or replace.
How long does it glow after a charge?
Up to 10 hours. It's brightest in the first few minutes, then settles into a steady glow that lasts through the night at a lower intensity.
How do I charge it, and how long does that take?
Hold it under any light — sun, headlamp, lantern, or indoor light. Ten minutes gets you a usable glow. Two hours of direct sunlight gives it a full charge for the longest run.
How far away can I actually see it?
Up to about 25 feet in full dark. Be realistic: it's a marker for finding small gear up close, not an area light. It shines on a zipper pull or headlamp, not as a campsite beacon.
Is it really waterproof? Can I take it diving?
Yes. It's rated IPX8 and submersible to 164 feet, plus dust- and weatherproof. Rain, snow, and dust don't bother it, and divers use it to mark gear underwater.
What can I clip it to?
Anything with a loop or zipper pull — keys, pack zippers, tent doors, dog collars, or dive gear. It comes with a split ring, so it's ready to attach out of the package. </content>
