Any one mounted or fixed any kind of tritium bar or the like to a scope bubble level for night use? I know accuracy 1st offers the capability in their level to do so but was wondering about anyone's home brew version. Not sure where to get small tritium vials but don't think it would be hard to make it work on about any level. I have a particular need for being level after dark so using the force isn't an option.
 
a couple of "home brew" things come to mind, using one of those mini light sticks -http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=mini+glow+stick&tag=googhydr-20&index=aps&hvadid=11404073507&hvpos=1t5&hvexid=&hvnetw=s&hvrand=3331918142605257841&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_6baiswbvuk_b (I don't support amazon other than to find what I'm looking for, then buy anywhere else). Or buying a tritium front sight from whomever then fix it to the level in center on back side away, from viewer, if it contacts the level tube, the whole thing should glow.

These are WAG's with ZERO experience nor proof of concept.
 
Use to have one of these (I broke it): DLG2x2

Going back and forth focusing on the crosshairs with one eye and then on a bubble-level with the other gives me a headache. With the electronic level, you can keep the dominant eye on the scope and open the other eye to see the out-of-focus LEDs (green for canted to the left, red for canted to the right, no LEDs for dead-level (or your batteries just went dead!)).
There's high and low brightness settings so you don't totally blow out your night-vision. The box is rugged but the switch is a bit delicate (that's what broke on mine). Battery life kinda sucks especially if it gets bumped on in your bag.
