OPERATION: Illumination of our devices is provided by
innovative Technology that harnesses gaseous tritium
activation of phosphore cent powder within a sealed tube
to generate a continuous light-sour-

requiring no batteries or secondary
lightsource. They require no main-
tenance or spare parts and provide
absolutely reliable, continuous
service. Betalights operate normally
Betalight b.v. is the leading supplier of Gaseous Tritium Light Sources (GTLS, known also as Betalights) and
Gaseous Tritium Light Devices (GTLD). Betalights are unique, providing a highly reliable and continuous light
source throughout a long service life without the need for any kind of electrical power. In this document,
we provide you with an overview of our range of Betalight tactical devices. Each device described below is

Betalight b.v. is the provider of Trilux Sights and can also supply source betalights to
manufacturers of optical equipment such as scopes and night sights for graticule and
reticule illumination. Trilux Sights incorporate absolutely reliable Betalights and have
a continuous, illuminated service life of 10 years. Rated for operation between -60 C
and +80 C, (-94 deg. Fahrenheit to 250 deg. Fahrenheit,) not only for a short period
but for several years if needed. the lamps require no on/of switch, contain no

Aiming a pistol under normal daylight conditions and hitting the target requires
minimum efort. But, under low light conditions, standard sights become inefective.
FBI statistics indicate that 80% of ofcer shooting injuries take place in low-light or
no-light conditions. Painting three white dots on the sights ofers only marginal
improvement. Betalight's solution is to supplement or replace the painted white dots
with small self-contained tritium lights that enhance shooter capability under
low-light conditions.
Performance
Trilux Tritium Sight Illumination ofer a handgun sighting system for improved rapid
instinctive aiming which requires no transition from day to night use. Day and night,
the shooter's aiming reference are three solid dots, identical in appearance and
location under all light conditions.
Add no weight Occupy zero space - critical in external design Withstand prolonged
immersion in commonly used solvents and cleaning compounds.
Never before has such quick, accurate aiming been possible
with such little efort. Just try it and see.

Optimized performace for reading
Supported by a 5 year warranty
Operation temperatures from -20C to 60C and underwater to a depth of 50 Meters
Good protection against hard knocks :
the smooth fnish feels soft in your hand, and it will not slip, even if it is wet.
Outstanding legibility of the card, with one-degree graduations.
No parallax error : a prism projects the reading of the bearing to infnity. This also
contributes to a more comfortable operation, as you do not need to alternate
close-reading to read the card and infnite-reading to take bearings.
Optimum conditions to take bearings, thanks to the superb card stability and the
wide 20 feld of view, which will accommodate the roughest sea conditions.
Most accurate bearing : the pivot and very hard stone are a guarantee of long life
and shock resistance of your compass.
Soft bottom cell : engineered using ultra-sonic welding, it acts like an expansion
diaphragm, preventing the formation of bubbles and leaks.
Built-in Tritium illumination, completely maintenance-free, impervious to
corrosion, operates without batteries and a life-time of more than 15 years.
Course reading from above the compass : you can read your compass like a
standard compass, with no need to look through the prism.
