With us, you receive your customized light source that works without batteries, power or maintenance for years.
Upon request, we support your integration project at every stage: feasibility assessment - prototype production - series production with assembly. Thanks to decades of experience, you benefit from in-depth knowledge in development, production, and regulatory requirements surrounding tritium applications.

KNIFE
WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR KNIFE AT NIGHT?
A knife is only useful if it can be found quickly and safely. In low-light situations, for example in the forest or during a night operation, trigalight can make the decisive difference. Thanks to good visibility in the back lock, users do not reach for the open blade and always know where the blade locks into place. A trigalight in the blade stop in turn indicates whether the sharp edge has come to rest in the correct position.
Our trigalight self-powered illumination technology works seamlessly in folding knives, fixed blades, and multi-tools. mb-microtec holds an SSD license for these applications, enabling knife companies to access the US market without having to worry about a tritium license. How does it work? Entrust us with the assembly of trigalight and contact us for a tailor-made solution!

PEPPER SPRAY
SECURITY FOR YOUR CUSTOMER THROUGH BETTER VISIBILITY.
Self-defence situations are often accompanied by stress, causing a person to react faster to stimuli rather than keeping a cool head. A pepper spray must be correctly oriented in just a few seconds, even in total darkness. Thanks to trigalight, an automatic reflex is triggered even in panic situations, using optical stimuli to reduce the risk of misorienting the pepper spray.
By integrating trigalight into the spray head or the body of a pepper spray, manufacturers offer their customers a product that is not only effective, but reliably locatable and correctly orientable at all times. No charging, no activation — always ready.
- ILLUMINATED FUNCTION FOR CORRECT HANDLING
- LOCATABLE IN COMPLETE DARKNESS
- NO BATTERIES OR CHARGING CYCLES
- SUPPORTIVE REACTION

MARKER
SAFETY IN AN EMERGENCY THROUGH BETTER VISIBILITY.
The trigalight Marker is a compact, self-adhesive safety marker designed for manufacturers and system integrators who need a reliable, long-life glow indicator that requires zero maintenance and zero power. Measuring just 16 × 7 × 3.2 mm, it attaches in seconds to virtually any surface and glows continuously for over 10 years.
Typical integration points include fire alarm call points, fire extinguisher handles, emergency stop buttons, first aid equipment, safety system controls and escape route hardware. The trigalight Marker gives end users the ability to locate critical safety equipment instantly in darkness or smoke — without relying on powered emergency lighting.

EXIT SIGNS
ALWAYS SHOWING THE WAY — WITHOUT POWER.
Emergency exit signage and escape route marking must remain visible precisely when conventional power fails. trigalight-based exit signs and escape route markers provide continuous self-powered luminescence for decades, with zero dependency on electrical infrastructure, batteries or photoluminescent charging cycles.
Unlike phosphorescent materials that fade within hours and require regular exposure to light to recharge, trigalight glows at a constant level regardless of prior light conditions. It is the ideal solution for tunnels, underground facilities, server rooms, ships, aircraft, and any environment where power continuity cannot be guaranteed.

DOOR HANDLE
A GRIPPING SOLUTION WHEREVER LIGHT IS NEEDED IN THE DARK.
Finding a door handle in complete darkness is one of those deceptively simple tasks that becomes urgent in an emergency. trigalight integrated into a door handle tip or recess provides a permanently glowing reference point that guides the hand instinctively — without any electrical connection, battery or sensor.
For manufacturers of architectural hardware, hospitality fittings and emergency exit hardware, trigalight offers a compact and elegant solution that adds genuine functional value and product differentiation. The integration footprint is minimal and compatible with standard handle geometries in aluminium, stainless steel and polymer.
- CONTINUOUSLY GLOWING ORIENTATION POINT ON THE HANDLE
- NO ELECTRICAL CONNECTION REQUIRED
- MAINTENANCE-FREE FOR THE LIFETIME OF THE HANDLE
- COMPATIBLE WITH ALUMINIUM, STEEL AND POLYMER HANDLES
- MINIMAL INTEGRATION FOOTPRINT
- SWISS MADE
COLOURS
Green is the preferred integration colour for maximum night visibility. Blue and white are popular choices for design-led hospitality and residential applications where aesthetics are equally important.
INTEGRATION POINTS
trigalight can be placed at the handle tip, along the shaft, or recessed into the rear face of the handle depending on housing geometry and design intent. Custom integration engineering available.
MATERIALS & COMPATIBILITY
Designed for integration into aluminium, stainless steel and high-performance polymer handles. Compatible with standard architectural door hardware dimensions. Temperature-resistant for indoor and outdoor use.
LIGHT SWITCH
FIND IT IN THE DARK. EVERY TIME.
A light switch is the first thing you reach for when a room goes dark — yet without a power indicator it becomes invisible the moment it is needed. The trigalight Light Switch integrates our self-powered illumination technology directly into the switch body or rocker, providing a permanently glowing reference point that guides the hand without any LED, electrical indicator or standby power draw.
For switch manufacturers, this represents a meaningful product upgrade: a long-life, zero-maintenance glow indicator that works even during a power cut — precisely when an LED indicator would go dark. No wiring, no additional circuitry, no maintenance interval.
- PERMANENTLY GLOWING INDICATOR — WORKS DURING POWER CUTS
- NO LED, NO STANDBY POWER, NO ADDITIONAL CIRCUITRY
- MAINTENANCE-FREE FOR 10+ YEARS
- MINIMAL INTEGRATION FOOTPRINT
- COMPATIBLE WITH STANDARD SWITCH BODY GEOMETRIES
- SWISS MADE
COLOURS
Green is the standard choice for switch orientation in darkness. For design-led residential and hospitality applications, blue and warm white are also available, offering a subtle ambient glow that complements interior aesthetics.
FORM FACTOR
Available in cylindrical and flat formats for integration into rocker switches, toggle switches and push-button formats. The minimal outer diameter (from 0.5 mm) allows flush integration without modifying standard switch plate dimensions.
KEY ADVANTAGE
Unlike LED indicators, trigalight requires no electrical connection and continues to glow during a power failure — the exact moment a switch indicator becomes most critical. A genuine functional differentiator for product manufacturers.
