So I was troubleshooting my outdoor motion sensor floodlights, which I brought inside to my basement workshop. At least there its warm, dark, and not 10 ft up in the air..anyhow that's not the weird thing. I turned out the lights to make the room pitch black.. then I was startled by the pressure gauge on my 2240 pcp. Weird or what? Anyone have, or see a need for, glow in the dark pressure guage on PCP? Both the high and low pressure gauges glow in the dark.

And the Mpa units really bug me, but that's another story, The symbol is correct on the high pressure guage.

I have been ratting for just of 2 years and my gauge on the hand pump came glow in the dark. I was able to shine a light momentarily and then pump in the dark. The last gauges I ordered to replace the ones on my guns are also glow in the dark.

Some clocks and watches have had glowing dials since the early 60's. Mine did, that's why I are OK now. :rolleyes:

OK, cool - I was freaked out for a bit when i saw the guage glowing like Homer Simpson's end of shift plutonium rod. i will have to go charge up all my gauges now and see which ones glow - maybe there are others.
