now up north in the winter, they're out before midnight but... now that i'm in the south they last quite a while.

Plus they really DO look nice in the glass lantern cage thing they're in.

The glow tape though... really just a couple of hours for it. It's really more for emergency exits if the lights go out. That's why Navy ships also have "Battle lanterns". Cos those glow tapes eventually fade.


Though, I use to have fun with the tape & paint when I got bored. I'd "graffiti" smiles on them with a flashlight in the dark. ;-)
