Location: Lincoln Park, Mi | To an extent. Definitely with the green super glow. That doesn't take much pigment to light it up like a xmas tree. The purple takes a bit more pigment and tends to give the lures a frosty look.
Here's some Bare Nakeds and other painted lures wrapped in a glow clear.

| Does the purple glow require more "juice" to charge? Some of the super-glow salmon stuff in purple seems to charge much better in sunlight or UV lights. Regular spotlight will work, just not as intense. Beautiful work on these and the odther post you have up. |

Yep, the purple definitely takes a bit more "juice" to charge it. I'm still experimenting with the different lighting sources and getting feedback to see what works best with that pigment. Natural sunlight defintely works well. I thought LED worked good, but it depends on the LED light itself. My daylight flourescent lights charge them really well. The standard or cools, not as good. I think the difrerent temperatures(K) of the light makes a difference more than anything. Any light that burns toward the blue/UV spectrum, as you noted, seems to work better.
The green though, that stuff is amazing!!!! Hold it in daylight for a few minutes and it visibly glows. ANY light works with that pigment and only takes maybe 30 seconds with an artificial source to get a good charge. If you've used Moonglow lures for salmon, this green is the next level. |

| how long does it glow? The glow purple I have only glows for about 10 minutes. I need to try a camera flash cause all of the handheld lights for glow lures never make the purple glow. |

Once you get it fully charged, the purple will glow for a good 3+ hours. And I don't mean barely visible after that time like most of the glow ratings are. I rate mine by what I consider still 75% charged. When I go out trolling for 3-5 hours, I'll generally only have to recharge the bait one time.
I still haven't found anything better than natural sunlight for charging purple glow. If you troll glow during the day like me, it makes it easy.
Those million+ candle power spotlights work well for night use. Any other light source does seem to take a while to charge. With a bright LED flashlight, it takes about 2 minutes per side to charge them. It's just something about blue and purple glows. Greens, reds, and most other colors charge with almost any light. Green being the easist to charge by far. |

Location: Lincoln Park, Mi | Finally found the perfect light for charging purple and blue glows. A black light! After trying all kinds of light sources, everything kept pointing toward blue spectrum lights. So, I figured no other light is further in that end of the spectrum than a black light. Works great. Charges them up in 30 seconds to a minute. |
