DEF CON 34 - Embrite™ BEACON Glow-in-the-Dark Morale Patch by TEC Accessories
DEF CON 34 Embrite Glow-in-the-Dark Morale Patch The room goes dark at the end of the talk. Somewhere in the pile by the door is your bag, which looks exactly like nine other black bags. This one glows. The DEF CON 34 Embrite Morale Patch by TEC Accessories is a 3" x 2" patch printed with this year's DEF CON 34 design and built around an Embrite glow slab that holds a charge for up to 12 hours. Unlike the evergreen DEF CON logo patch, this one is dated: it marks DEF CON 34 specifically, which makes it the year's entry in the collection rather than a piece you could have bought any year. What Makes Embrite Different Most glow patches are printed with glow ink, which fades within minutes. Embrite is a solid slab of glow material built into the patch itself, and it stays lit for up to 12 hours after a full charge from sunlight or UV. More light in means brighter and longer output. It recharges indefinitely and needs no battery, no switch, and no maintenance. Built to Mount Anywhere The patch is built around a rigid Embrite core in a slim profile with hook-and-loop backing, so it attaches to any bag, backpack, cap, or pouch with a loop panel. A loop-backed adhesive strip is included, which means it also mounts to flat surfaces that have no loop panel at all. No sewing and no rigging.

Frequently Asked Questions: DEF CON 34 Embrite Glow Patch How is the DEF CON 34 patch different from the DEF CON logo patch? The DEF CON 34 patch carries this year's specific design and is produced for DEF CON 34. The logo patch carries the general DEF CON mark and is available year-round. Collectors buy the dated one; people who just want the logo buy the evergreen one. Will it really glow for 12 hours? With a full charge from sunlight or UV light, Embrite glows for up to 12 hours. Output is brightest in the first hours and tapers from there. Charge it under strong light for several minutes before you need it. How is Embrite different from a regular glow-in-the-dark patch? Most glow patches use glow ink printed on fabric, which dims within minutes. Embrite is a solid slab of glow material built into the patch, which is why the output lasts hours instead of minutes. Does it need a battery? No. It charges from any light source and recharges indefinitely. There is nothing to power, replace, or switch on. Can I attach it to any surface? It mounts to any standard hook-and-loop panel. For surfaces without one, use the included adhesive-backed loop strip, which sticks to most flat surfaces. How big is it? 3" x 2", the standard morale patch size, so it fits caps, packs, pouches, and panel loadouts without modification. Is this only useful at DEF CON? No. It marks your bag in a dark room anywhere: a hotel floor, a conference hall, a tent, a garage. The DEF CON 34 design is what dates it, not what limits it. Can I order these in bulk with my own design? Yes. We custom print on orders of 10 or more. Email sales@mykeyport.com for pricing. Who the DEF CON 34 Glow Patch Is For The DEF CON 34 Embrite Glow Patch is best for attendees who want a dated piece from this year's conference rather than the evergreen logo version. It is best for anyone who needs to find their own bag fast in a dark room full of identical black bags. It is best for collectors building a run of DEF CON pieces by year. It is best for anyone who wants glow-in-the-dark marking that lasts hours instead of minutes and needs no battery. Produced for DEF CON 34 and available here and at the Keyport booth in Las Vegas.
