No everyday carry is complete without the perfect premium keychain accessory. The A3 Series Embrite™ Glow Fob is the aluminum version of our unique glow-in-the-dark (GITD) keychain fob, now manufactured with our proprietary Embrite™ glow pellet. Embrite™ is the TEC Accessories proprietary glow technology, affording the brightest, longest lasting 'glow-in-the-dark’ effect available in a tiny, rugged Glow Fob. The A3 glow fob features a precision machined, highly protective, lightweight aluminum housing with a black anodized finish. When exposed to sunlight or UV light, the proprietary Embrite™ pellet will glow for hours... the longer the exposure time and the higher the light intensity, the longer and brighter it will glow. Glow times can last as long as 12 hours! This cutting edge technology will outlast and outshine anything on the market.

The process used to provide the desired glow feature is based on a charge/discharge cycle. You must first charge the internal pellet with light, which is then stored and slowly discharged. In order to achieve the best possible results from your unit, please review the following tips regarding light exposure and charging times.

The proprietary Embrite™ glow pellet is manufactured using a "trade secret" process and the brightest glowing material available anywhere on the planet to ensure we provide the brightest glow pellet possible. The pellet itself charges most effectively when exposed to the UV portion of the light spectrum. Sunlight does an excellent job as a charging source, as well as UV lights and CFL bulbs but the material will also absorb an appreciable charge when exposed to indoor room light. Increased exposure time to a light source will increase the initial brightness of the glow and extend the time the pellet remains glowing.

A pellet that is charged in ordinary sunlight or room light for an extended period will have a noticeable glow when the lights are turned off, and will diminish gradually over the course of several hours. Although the glow intensity will fade considerably over a long duration of time, it is not uncommon to still see a recognizable glow after 8-12 hours, especially with dark-adapted vision. This charging and discharging cycle can be performed an infinite number of times. It is important to note however, that if you view the glow fob in normal room light IT WILL NOT GLOW! It must be dark in order to see the glow effect.

The TEC Glow Fobs are designed to allow easy replacement or exchange of the glow pellet by simply removing the o-ring at the end of the housing. This allows you to change the green glow pellet to one of our aqua replacement glow pellets.
