Help needed on glow in dark front sights

[Brokennock]

can you recharge the glow paint with any light or is it light specific? years ago i had a fiber optic pin on a bow and it required charging, as stated night time hunting is not a problem in a blind as i have a red head lamp shining on front sight plus my red night hunting lights illuminte the hogs. during the day if im in a tree stand or climber i can see my painted white front dot just fine its the transition from dark blind to sunlight

A flashlight will do it. Not sure if a light with a red lens will do it.
My headlamp has a red lens on one side. I will try it later.

I tried recharging that painted front sight with the red lense of my headlamp. No good.
But, that headlamp doesn't have very high output to begin with. Your mileage may vary.

You may want to look into Tridium sights. Saw a LEO working some at the range recently. A lot of potential if you find one that can be made to fit, though definitely not traditional.

I use the Glo on every sight except the flinter. It uses a sliver blade only.
Never had a problem seeing it.

These XS Bigdot sights are of good quality and are excellent for their intended application, fast shooting with a pistol.
They have a couple problems that limit their use for other things, I am thinking particularly for this application.
They are quite low. This will limit poa/poi options with a fixed rear sight muzzle loader, especially given "problem" #2. They have a round top, as opposed to a standard tritium pistol or rifle sight, including the Trijicon HD, which have flat squared off tops. The rounded top can make it difficult to get correct elevation (and for some people windage) when trying to line it up with the rear notch for a "finer" more precise shot, not using the dot as a reference.
Might work okay with a ghost ring rear aperture sight.
