Tubes is funny things.  They're just so consistent!

Conventional lume is MUCH brighter that 1st 5 or 10 minutes.  But a few minutes later as the lume fades tritium tubes compare pretty well.  And after 30min or so the tubes are brighter than the lume.

Two or three hours later there's absolutely NO comparison.  Tubes are WAAY brighter, and they last.. and last.. and last.

Just depends what you prefer.. that initial nuclear glow type lume?.. or the slow but steady, always dependable glow of tritium tubes.
