NEW APPLICATIONS

UPGRADE YOUR PRODUCT WITH SELF-POWERED ILLUMINATION.

trigalight self-powered illumination technology opens new possibilities well beyond traditional watch and tactical applications. We partner with forward-thinking manufacturers to integrate our Swiss-made GTLS technology into everyday carry products, precision tools and personal safety equipment — adding a decade of maintenance-free glow with no batteries, no electronics and no compromise to existing form factors.

Below is a selection of new and emerging applications where trigalight delivers a decisive product advantage. If you have an application in mind that is not listed here, we are ready to develop a custom solution together with you.

trigalight® works with manufacturers across any industry who want to add self-powered illumination to a product where no established solution yet exists. We approach every new application as a development project: we assess feasibility, define the right light source format for your product geometry, support the integration engineering, produce prototypes and supply series components once the design is validated.

We do not supply new application products to retailers or end consumers. Our business is B2B exclusively: if you are a product manufacturer or OEM integrator exploring whether tritium illumination can add functional value to your product, we want to hear from you. Many of the applications on this page started as exactly that conversation. Regulatory advice for tritium in non-traditional product categories — including consumer goods subject to national tritium activity limits — is part of the service we provide to all new application partners.

YOUR PEN. ALWAYS READY.

A tactical pen is a precision everyday carry tool designed to perform under pressure. With trigalight integrated into the body or cap, it becomes immediately locatable in complete darkness — on a desk, in a bag, clipped to a pocket. No searching, no fumbling. Just instant visibility, 24 hours a day, for over a decade.

For tactical pen manufacturers, trigalight adds a meaningful and durable functional differentiator. The integration footprint is minimal, compatible with standard pen body geometries in aluminium and titanium, and requires no modification to the pen's core mechanism. The result is a product with a genuine operational advantage for military, law enforcement and professional carry users.

VISIBLE WHEN IT MATTERS MOST.

An emergency glass breaker must be findable and usable in the worst possible conditions — smoke, darkness, panic. trigalight integrated into the body of a glass breaker means it can be spotted and grabbed instantly without any active light source, without power and without prior charging.

Whether mounted in a vehicle, installed in a public transport seat pocket or issued as personal emergency equipment, a trigalight-equipped glass breaker is a product that genuinely performs when it is needed. For manufacturers of emergency safety equipment, this is a functional upgrade with a clear, communicable end-user benefit.

FIND YOUR KEYHOLE. FIND YOUR COMBINATION. EVERY TIME.

Unlocking a bike in the dark — outside a restaurant, at a late train station, in an unlit car park — is a small daily frustration that trigalight eliminates entirely. For keyed locks, trigalight placed directly beside the keyhole makes the entry point instantly visible without a torch. For combination locks, trigalight integrated next to each digit disc allows the user to read and set the combination in complete darkness.

For bike lock manufacturers, this is a product upgrade that is immediately communicable, visually striking in product photography, and genuinely appreciated by end users in everyday use. It requires no batteries, no LED strip, no waterproofing complexity — just a compact, self-powered light source that works for over a decade.

ALWAYS ORIENTED. DAY AND NIGHT.

A compass with trigalight-illuminated cardinal points, degree markings or bezel indices is readable in complete darkness without a torch, without a battery and without compromising the instrument's precision or form factor. For outdoor, military and survival applications, this is not a convenience feature — it is an operational requirement.

trigalight is already trusted by leading compass manufacturers. The technology integrates into standard compass housings without modification to the needle mechanism or dial geometry, and delivers reliable, consistent luminescence for over 10 years under the most demanding environmental conditions.
