Pros: Really nice to look at, often becomes a talking piece. A nice gadget to collect, not a common product which "everyone" has got. It's small and therefore no problem to carry it around with your keys. 
Cons: Only visible at night (in the dark), so it's a bit to dim. Compared to the general price level at dealextreme, I think it's a bit to expensive. 
Other Thoughts:  
Bottomline: My keychain is a bit more than a keychain after I got this one. Would have bought it again, and will buy another in a different color. 
					

Sorta neat, don't expect too much illumination

Pros: Good conversation piece. It does noticeably glow in the dark. 
Cons: The glow is very weak. Don't expect to use it to light up anything or to use it to find objects etc. All you can see it the keychain itself glowing. Nothing around the keychain will be lit like a book or keys etc. 
Other Thoughts: Simply a novelty item. Good conversation item. Plus how many people carry around a radioactive compound with them?

However, the glow is extremely weak. Know this before you buy. 
Bottomline: Interesting item, very small keychain and weak glow

Pros: - This is a Cool keychain.
- Radioactive Tritium in your hand :)
- Some of your friends could be afraid near you, because you have an object with radiation!! :D
- Build Quality is ok. 
Cons: - The tritium have poor bright, you can only see the light in very dark zones.
- Perhaps a little expensive.
- The quantity of tritium could be better. 
Other Thoughts: It's the first time that I'm a little sad with my new keychain gadget. Perhaps it would be better if could bright more. 
Bottomline: It's not very useful and the bright isn't as in photos. However, it is a cool gadget to show to your friends and girls ;)

Pros: A very unique keychain, with a cool story behind it. Everyone who has noticed it has asked where to get one...I got the yellow one, when the green and blue are back in stock i will most likely order them too for my other car keys... 
Cons: Not as bright as in the DX Description photos... 
Other Thoughts: It may not be as bright as a led but it is still cool, and i would re-buy it if i lost it. Now when i leave for work at 5am it is much easier for me to find my keys in my still dark house... 
Bottomline: If you are into unique gadgets and keychains get this!!! Its kinda cool to have a Slightly Radioactive Keychain, lol !!!!
