What a rip off!!
I paid $25 for this thing?! WHAT WAS I THINKING?? Man this was a stupid impulse buy and I fell for all the high tech BS. There is no special extra glow effect about this UV charged rod. It has the same glow effect as a trinket out of a gumball machine. All this "TEC EMBRITE" talk is a load of crap. It's just a resin piece of plastic with your average GITD powder mixed in. The glow is about as minimal as you'd expect for something this small, and of course it doesn't last any longer and isn't any brighter than any other GITD plastic. 12 hour glow my A. This will glow strongly for about 10 minutes, start to fade, and will hardly have any glow left after MAYBE 2-3 hours. Nothing special!
Yes the housing IS stainless steel and the plastic "cutting edge Embrite technology" rod is held in place on the bottom with an O-ring. You can slide it out of you want. It's not totally a piece of junk, but it sure isn't worth $25. Maybe 3 bucks. Seriously you could take any little glow in the dark trinket, put a keyring attachment ring on it and get the same exact benefit out of it...that MAYBE it'll help you locate your keys or whatever it's attached to in the dark. If you're within 5' of it.
Well, I was stupid so you don't have to be. Do not waste your money on this, there are better keychain charms inside a box of Cracker Jacks.
