I don't recall Mike(Mont) mentioning tritium. Nor do I recall tritium as being a standard ingredient for the average power load used in an LRL. Apparently this is being offered by a dowsing rod salesman, without implying what the psychological effects or amount of tritium is. Most other power loads I read about are a mixture of odd salts and sands, or a sample of target material placed in the hand or in a sample chamber -- quite inexpensive for an average dowser to rig up.
But if you did coat certain parts of the rod with tritium and phosphors, it could improve a user's ability to see where it is pointing at night without carrying extra lights, whose metal parts and current flow could interfere with the forces from the magnets.
Also the improved visibility when using triitium at night could be proven by demonstrating it in a repeatable way.
And if this rod was well balanced, It's ability to always align toward the magnetic north pole could also be demonstrated on a windless night.
