andreww Posted November 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 And btw, am currently runnin a little side by side with the UPO and the CS SFSO. Initially the SFSO was brighter, but after 5 minutes they are about even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted November 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 After 15 minutes moth watches are easily readable, and at about even brightness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted November 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Final result. After 30 minutes both dials were easily visible in complete darkness. Any external light source pretty much negates any lume effect. My final conclusion is that the aftermarket C3 Glows a little brighter initially, but after a minute or two performs about the same as my factory UPO.

deltatahoe Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 a couple thoughts / comments -- my uPO has the best out of the box lume hands down compared to my other reps (and pretty close to superluminova in brightness, lasting time, etc); sounds like your uPO is one of the ones with good lume as well andreww. i think ziggy is right in saying the most notable thing about lume relates to the surface area that is lumed; obviously watches with large hands and/or markers such as a pam 127 or 217 are going to be most noticeable. this is why i (personally) think getting pams relumed w/ superluminova is a very worthwhile modification -- one that i enjoy quite a bit. deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyster Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 i (personally) think getting pams relumed w/ superluminova is a very worthwhile modification deltatahoe I agree, A 127 of mine was my lume king, I would have another modded in the futrure as the results are good, as others have said must be the thickness/ammount that can be applied to the Pams. That said, like all lume, it still fades over time and certainly loses its initial brilliance quite quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
