My SPG isn't glowing in the dark

[sontek]

I bought my first SPG used on craigslist and its gauges glow in the dark perfect, but I just bought a brand new SPG and I noticed tonight when it was sitting out that the gauges weren't glowing... Do I have to do something special or do not all gauges glow in the dark?

I bought these gaugues: Genesis 3 Gauge Inline Console with Max Depth Indicator CG5336 with reviews at scuba.com

Did you shine a light on them? Most gauges will only glow in the dark for a few seconds after you shine a light on them.

Hi Sontek,

Stating the obvious maybe, but have you tried shining your torch on them for a few seconds ~ as my mares gauges don't glow until I've done so, and I wasn't aware they did until an instructor advised me on a night dive.

Cheers

Some glow better than others. One of my SPGs seems to glow the whole dive just getting hit by ambient light from torches. Others you really need to put a light face-to-fact to get a few seconds glow.
