Glow in the dark Chroma Cap help?

Glow in the dark Chroma Cap help? Posted on: 18.01.2013 by Valeri Millstein When I saw DJTT's new Chroma caps I was stoked! Glow in the dark is super cool. The only problem is these things don't last anything other than a short amount of time. Currently I have them under a lamp and they will last around 10 minutes in darkness. I assumed they would last much longer. Anyone else have any problems with them. I believe I am going to send them back. HUGE disappointment. I know glow in the dark is gimmicky but I didn't expect that for 3 dollars a piece from DJTT.
Wilbert Kulczak 21.01.2013	Originally Posted by paulm Does anyone know when they'll release glow in the dark knobs? Not really sure tbo, they might be in the works but who knows. Like 0Notice said, the issue you run into with making them glow is the material is hard plastic, not the normal rubbery/soft the Chroma's usually are. Personally, they work fine as a fader, but I wouldn't like them for a knob strictly for the tactile feeling.

Wilbert Kulczak 21.01.2013	Originally Posted by HamSammich Is the colour of the non-glowing faders very close to the grey knobs/faders? I am curious to know as I would like to have the knobs match the faders, as I am very OCD and I believe that two different colours wouldn't mix very well. :P Grey Chroma/Glow in the Dark fader pic if it helps.

Valeri Millstein 18.01.2013	Originally Posted by stevohill Excellent! I may have just ordered two UV fixtures on amazon...I've been needing an excuse I'll admit, I'm a sucker for lights and shiny things... They are not perfect but I am about to order four more of them for my F1!
Wilbert Kulczak 18.01.2013	Originally Posted by 0Notice UV light works great! They are super bright and so far are lasting! The hard plastic just feels better than the rubber on the faders especially the X-Fader. Excellent!

Michell Wehrmeyer 18.01.2013	Originally Posted by The Twin I was so close to ordering the glow in the dark faders till I realizes they're plastic and not the rubbery material the others are. I decided against them, went fluo orange instead. This is better for some of us. I have both fluo orange and glow in the dark. I hate scratching on the rubber faders and prefer the glow in the dark much better for scratching. The rubber on knobs is nice but like 0notice said, they are nicer on the faders and especially the xfade.

Valeri Millstein 18.01.2013	Running up to lowes to get a UV light, I want one on my desk anyways. Seems like a great fix. I will be sure to post the results!
Wilbert Kulczak 18.01.2013	Ordered a slew of chroma caps recently for the F1 and S4 and tossed a few of these in the order just for fun. When exposed to direct sunlight, they'll glow pretty good in the dark for like you said, about 10 min. I believe they are primarily designed to react to a UV light source and I'm guessing they'll do pretty good. Been meaning to pick up a black light just to toy around with, I'll keep you posted on the results.
Geri Jarra 18.01.2013	maybe try a uv light to charge them, or even to leave on your controller at all times. They might glow better under Uv, but Obviously they should glow longer than 10 mins
Noriko Lebowitz 18.01.2013	ahh, I was just about to buy some...
