Betalight b.v. - Tritium Illumination for Mortar and Gun Sights and Other Tactical Devices

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.

BETALIGHTS - GASEOUS TRITIUM LIGHT SOURCES AND DEVICES

Illumination of our devices is provided by Betalights fixed securely within the units. Betalights use innovative technology that harnesses gaseous tritium activation of phosphorescent powder within a sealed tube to generate a continuous lightsource.

Betalights are self-illuminating, requiring no batteries or secondary lightsource. They require no maintenance or spare parts and provide absolutely reliable, continuous service.

Betalights operate normally in temperatures from –60ºC to +80ºC and in adverse environmental conditions, even when immersed in water. No heat is generated. They are ideal for hazardous situations, such as ammunition depots or fuel storage areas.

TRILUX SELF-ILLUMINATED MILITARY WATCH

Designed for the professional soldier, the Trilux self-illuminated military watch is compact, slim and tough, combining an exceptionally high-quality specification with remarkable value for money.

Trilux Betalight wrist watches use sealed gaseous tritium betalights to illuminate the dial (12 green lamps) together with second, minute and hour hands, making immediate visual acquisition possible when the lights go out.

ILLUMINATED MARKERS

Betalight spot markers are illuminated markers used for marking switches, vital equipment and hazardous obstacles in the dark.

SELF-LUMINOUS HAND BEARING COMPASS

The Betalight self-luminous hand-bearing compass is a highly effective tool for day and night navigation, with no parallax errors or bubbles or leaks. Tough, lightweight construction makes the self-luminous hand-bearing compass ideal for field operations.

BETALIGHT TORCH

The Betalight torch is a self-powered lamp for map-reading, setting fuses, adjusting radios or any operation during darkness. The torch provides a secure light source that is eye-night-vision friendly and therefore highly suited to covert and combat situations.

SELF-ILLUMINATED AIMING POST MARKERS

Betalight self-illuminated aiming post markers enable establishment and retention of covert infantry and artillery weapons alignment in the dark. A viewing angle of just 7.5º ensures security and makes them ideal for use by mortar and GPMG teams. The units are visible for up to 200m.

ILLUMINATED TRILUX SIGHT UNITS

Betalight is a 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 continuous, illuminated service life of 10 years. The lamps need no on / off switch, contain no moving parts and are maintenance-free.

SELF-LUMINOUS PEGLIGHT AND ROUTE / DEFILE MARKER

The Beta-Marker is a compact, self-luminous marker-peg to provide visual reference points by day and by night. The Peglight is a heavy-construction marker-peg, utilising a cast aluminium shell to provide the user with the highest level of durability in the field. Typical applications for both are: arc of fire marking, trench identification, path and spot marking and mine marking.

Self-luminous route and defile markers can be mounted to almost any object along roads and through forests. Typical applications are minefield safe lanes and bridge defiles for vehicles and troops, where secure route marking is needed in daylight and darkness. Functional differentiation is available by using a variety of arrows and lamp colour configurations.

SELF-ILLUMINATED PATROL MARKERS

The self-illuminated patrol marker is a self-powered, continuously illuminated device enabling personnel to remain in covert visual contact in the dark, effective in close operations and visible up to 25m.

SELF-POWERED KIT MARKERS

One of the most popular products supplied by Betalight is the Betalight kit marker. The kit marker is used primarily to locate key items of equipment which must be readily available to the soldier at all times but which are easily lost in the dark. Kit markers can also be used as hazard markers and for personnel marking. A range of colours is available to enable differentiation.

SELF-ILLUMINATED SIGNS

Betalight self-powered illuminated safety signs are designed for safe and reliable signage without mains power or batteries. They provide excellent visibility, legibility and illumination in adverse and specialised environments.
