Default Good portable emergency light?

3M had a lovely little filament lamp based torch made of a dayglo

pitch dark - you could even see by its glow once dark adapted.
Unfortunately it failed to sell as people could not imagine how useful
it is to be able to find an emergency light in total darkness


You can readily buy the powder itself. Can then use it in, say, PVA and achieve all sorts of results.
