Left it outside for one minute

Ran inside and took picture

Now compare it to the one after exposed to UV blacklight

Conclusion, mine is defective!  :)

I don't think it's defective, a UV light will always make a GID cap glow brighter after a short exposure than sunlight will. If I had to rank these new BKs and Moondrops against my other GID caps I'd put them towards the bottom as far as GID charge time goes. Some GID caps just take a little extra effort to get decent brightness out of. My 420 Noct has always been my best GID cap, I don't know what clack did but the cap takes almost no light to get a bright glow while some of my GID blanks will only glow after a few minutes outside in direct sunlight.

I think it also depends on the color, the light blue/teal on my BK charges faster than the purple on my Moondrop.
People in the 1980s, in general, were clearly just better than we are now in every measurable way.

The dumber the reason the more it must be done

Thanks! I'm glad the scp fugu bronze streak seems to match the quantum Nuka bronze for that effect. Was thinking the uv-b (violet) BK might've matched better since it's also has a nickel base but the purple throws it off versus the blue.

Yeah it is, just the picture though!  Chilldblue is definitely one of my favorite caps and probably my favorite set (tied with Frank Miller set) but it's always so hard to choose!
