GITD Lanyard Hole Lume Insert - Spyderco Paramilitary 2/3, Para, Military, Manix

Description: These lume inserts install into the lanyard holes of knives, providing rapid identification and visual flair in light and darkness. The best application is a lanyard hole exposed at the top of the pocket, where it can pick up charge from ambient light, giving it back as glow in darkness. But it is also a great way to find your knife on the nightstand, for all those midnight cutlery activities. These are powered using strontium aluminate,* the brightest and longest lasting glow technology. Performance varies dramatically by color, however green is the brightest and longest lasting. Charging is best done with a bright light source. We recommend UV lights (320-400nm), the common 365nm LED lights are great. Sunlight or UV is important to fully charge purple color. Each lume insert is a tri-oval, made of a temperature and solvent/lubricant resistant rubber, allowing simple press-fit installation and adaptability to a range of different hole-diameters. No adhesive or tools are required. (although if your knife has picked up a bit of pocket lint, we recommend cleaning the hole with a q-tip prior to installation) The material can be readily cut with a sharp blade, so if you see a version which is too tall, but otherwise has a similar hole-diameter, it can easily be trimmed to fit. For holes on the snug side, a little alcohol or soap mixed with water can be used to lubricate the insert for easier installation. The colors are shown in the 2nd picture in order and roughly in order of performance are:Green - daylight pale green - This is easily the brightest and longest lasting color. If peak brightness and glow time are your primary considerations, this is an easy choice. A good charge can still be visible after 24 hours in darkness. The glow is so bright and intense that the “actual” color is slightly off white, but upon charging it will turn pale green while still under a light source, even daylight. Aqua - daylight semi-translucent off-white - Somewhere between green and blue glow in terms of brightness and duration, this color is also popular for its glow performance and beauty. Blue - daylight semi-translucent off-white - White with maybe just a drop of gray in it under light gives way to a gentle, pure, and beautiful blue glow. A very special color for sure. Biohazard Green - daylight biohazard green - This has that unmistakable “radioactive waste spill” look to it, day or night. A louder more vibrant shade of green than our regular green. Gold - daylight neon orange - A very bold neon orange under light gives way to a bright gold in darkness. It really makes things pop under any light. Yellow - daylight orange-gold - Very pleasing colors all around. The bright electric yellow glow though is something to behold for sureWhite - daylight ivory - Somehow this color just sticks in your mind as special and unique. Perhaps it is because it plays a bit of a trick on the eye if moved slowly from charging to darker areas? Initially it doesn’t register as “glowing” so much as just getting purer, cleaner, and brighter white…. until eventually it becomes obvious that it is actually emitting light, not merely reflecting it. Ultra Purple - daylight alabaster - Photos don’t do this justice. Lightly speckled deep purple-blue, when glowing it almost looks like a blacklight, like it is right at the edge of the visible spectrum. Unique and very cool. The disadvantage of this color though is that it is the least bright of all our strontium aluminate colors and takes the most energy to charge so is best charged in direct sunlight or UV light. Very much one of the coolest colors we offer (in our opinion anyway). Currently we have confirmed these sizes fit with these Knives. 6.3x11.5mm - Spyderco Para2/3, Manix, Military (large hole version), Military2, Tuff6.3x13.3mm - Spyderco Autonomy, Autonomy2 4.8x12.2mm - Busse/Swamp Rat/Scrapyard rivets, Spyderco Phil Wilson South Fork, Techno (trim length), Zero Tolerance 0301/Strider, 0456/Sinkevich5x12.2mm - Spyderco Caribbean, Native 5 FRN, Gayle Bradley, Rocklobster (trim length), K2 (trim length), Butch Vallotton, SpydieChef (trim length)* Note many of these will fit additional knives, but these are the versions we’ve measured/tested. These inserts have a little squish so hole diameters slightly smaller often fit, and can readily be cut to accommodate different lengths.
