When I saw DJTT’s new Chroma caps I was stoked! Glow in the dark is super cool. The only problem is these things don’t last anything other than a short amount of time. Currently I have them under a lamp and they will last around 10 minutes in darkness. I assumed they would last much longer. Anyone else have any problems with them. I think I am going to send them back. HUGE disappointment. I know glow in the dark is gimmicky but I didn’t expect that for 3 dollars a piece from DJTT.
maybe try a uv light to charge them, or even to leave on your controller at all times. They might glow better under Uv, but Obviously they should glow longer than 10 mins
Ordered a slew of chroma caps recently for the F1 and S4 and tossed a few of these in the order just for fun. When exposed to direct sunlight, they’ll glow pretty good in the dark for like you said, about 10 min. I think they are primarily designed to react to a UV light source and I’m guessing they’ll do pretty good.
Been meaning to pick up a black light just to toy around with, I’ll keep you posted on the results.
UV light works great! They are super bright and so far are lasting! The hard plastic just feels better than the rubber on the faders especially the X-Fader.
This is better for some of us. I have both fluo orange and glow in the dark. I hate scratching on the rubber faders and prefer the glow in the dark much better for scratching. The rubber on knobs is nice but like 0notice said, they are nicer on the faders and especially the xfade.
Is the colour of the non-glowing faders very close to the grey knobs/faders? I am curious to know as I would like to have the knobs match the faders, as I am very OCD and I think that two different colours wouldn’t mix very well.
