An option is tritium vials. They’re pretty cheap on eBay and last something like 7 or 8 years.

They’re typically used in gun sights to make them luminous and visible at night.
Not a whole lot of other uses where a small, relatively expensive glowing dot is particularly useful. In most other applications, you’d rather just include an LED and a battery or wiring to power it.

Just about every gadget on Kickstarter these days has the option to add tritium vials. “Find your tool anywhere any time” -kinda thing

Remember: If you’re not part of the solution you’re part of the precipitate.

Cherenkov radiation
You know sonic booms? This is basically like ‘optical booms’ from radiation in water that’s traveling faster than the speed-of-light-in-water (which is less than the speed of light in a vacuum)
