Briefing
The technology is developing rapidly worldwide but the number of tritium applications remains relatively constant. Therefore, the main focus for trigalight is looking for new application fields and new markets to develop. As secondary focus, the production process needed for the trigalights is very complex and could also find further applications in the market. The self-made capillaries are also a by-product of the trigalights that could be used as an idea base for numerous applications.
Trigalights are typically used to illuminate things in applications where there's no space for any external power source. The applications usually also include actions that need to be carried out in dark environments or in emergency situations (e.g., like reading time on a watch dial or operating a safety-relevant item). Thinking of such typical situations that occur in darkness may help to find new applications for trigalight technology. If using an external power source (such as a battery) for illumination purposes is an overkill or simply not possible due to size, trigalight might be a perfect solution as well…
Please be aware that trigalights glow with a very low intensity and cannot be used e.g. to illuminate a whole room.

Product Properties
The different applications are feasible thanks to the many other different properties of trigalights:
Laser sealed trigalights:
Our trigalight are available in a great diversity of standard colours. You can choose between green, yellow, white, ice blue, pink, violet, orange, red and blue. The smallest size – our hairlights (0.30 mm) – are available in green, yellow and ice blue.
The standard cross-sectional shape is round. Our trigalight are also available in square or rectangular form.
Our round light sources are usually produced with an outer diameter of 0.30 mm to 3.00 mm and a length of 1.30 mm to 25.00 mm. The rectangular light sources are available with a standard cross section of 1.00 mm to 4.10 mm x 0.75 mm to 1.50 mm and a length of 3.00 mm to 25.00 mm.
Arcs and Spheres
Hand sealed bench made trigalights:
Our arcs and spheres are available in green and orange as standard.
Our arcs are normally manufactured in round or rectangular cross-sectional form.
The round arcs are usually produced with an outer diameter of 4.00 mm, an arc dimension of 4° to 174° and a radius of 13.20 mm to 32.00 mm. Our rectangular arcs are produced with a standard cross section of 4.10 mm x 2.30 mm, an arc dimension of 180° and a radius of 10.80 mm. The spheres are available with an outer diameter of 15.00 mm as standard.
