So if you use LED's, you can only use champy plastic? Or does taping an LED light on top of an opaque disc work?

Thanks for the useful p... oh, wait. Did you read the original post at all?
I think it's cute how everyone tries to be Prerube Jr. on this site lately.
Paranoid as I am on this subject, I have to ask -
for opaque discs, if you tape the LEDs to the top, what happens if it lands upside down for some reason? Is it still visible?
I think those with taped discs should get penalty strokes.
Man up and get some glow discs.
Yes I did. My point is that many are already misinformed about glow golf, and then are led down the path of more misinformation. If you want to use ONLY GLOW IN THE DARK DISCS...that is fine, but don't do that simply cause you believe that there is no way to make non-glow discs work for you.
UV or "black light" is the best way to light up glow discs. Don't use those discs in the daytime because sunlight kills the glow properties of those discs. UV flashlights are hard on batteries, so I suggest rechargeables that are always fully charged. Heck you can even buy UV leds, but they last a very limited time with the 3 volt lithium batteries.
I play glow every Friday night, and it runs very smooth. You don't want to have a bunch of people pulling out flashlights every time they throw...it kills everyone's night vision.Of course it depends on the course, but flashlights should only be used to stay safe.
If you are worried about a disc landing on its back and not seeing the light on the front, then I suggest a small piece of glow tape. UV lights will find it even under leaves in most cases. If your disc is a day glo type in color, a UV flashlight will find it with ease...even under leaves...actually even easier than you will find it in full daylight.
vonDrehle said:How do you feel about my black lights in your bag idea. Would that be acceptable? Don't think it messed with night vision and keeps the disc nice and charged.
I carry 4 discs in a the bag. Put them in a square, with one disc on each side of the bag, then set your light right in the center. This will keep a charge on all 4 discs at once.
2nd, plus no lights in baskets and NO FLASHLIGHTS. We have a group the plays pretty regular on a hilly wooded course in NC and we make it through just fine. Except one broken ankle (Tpro I still think you were just drunk and faking it). There's nothing sweeter then making a long putt without seeing the basket then having anyone scramble to puTT cuz they see your disc hangN. We have a jar of infractions, $2 each time you use a flashlight, then 50 cents for walking infront of pad if everyone haven't thrown, drive shorter then 30 feet and a dollar if you fall. The money buys beverages for next week. SS rules
