moby711's SECOND LUME TEST - MODEM BURNER many pics!!!

[rescue diver]

:thanks very much for that absolutely stunning experiment

If one watch had it's lume material applied 5 years ago and another watch is brand new, will that effect the test results? I guess I'm asking if your study includes effects of aging (assuming aging effects lune intensity).

thanks

really appreciate the lume comparison!

Love it!! The ProDiver looks great up there.

[Fatpants]

Superb shots, great test too!

The autozilla MUST be the winner in this test due to the pip on the bezel being more visible.

Thanks for taking the time for that. I have an incoming prodiver!

since we are on the topic of lume's. Would anyone know if the Omega's Seamasters made from year 2000 onwards uses the same material? or is the a difference from model to model?

I'm tempted to try this myself with the proper case and camera ... I've noticed that my watches charge up much, MUCH faster using a compact flourescent lamp (CFL) bulb, I presume because they are oscillating very quickly. If that's correct, they're probably activating the light-sensitive chemical, then during the "off" cycles that chemical is activating the glowing chemical. Accelerate that several times a second, and the CFLs in my home seem to charge up even weak watches super-bright in a few seconds.

It has more to do with the wavelengths put out by CFL lights than it does the light oscillating.
