If very low to no light shooting is what you want, then a Tritium pin is what you're after.
My VBG single .029" pin slider is bright, but nothing compares to a 24 hour glow of tritium. I've had 2 in the past & there is no way around it, Tritium wins in low light.
I think Cobra or Tru-glomakes a slider with a Tritium option.

Everybody's eyes are different I guess. For me, a really bright sight pin blacks out everything behind it, and that sux. The brightest I've found that still lets me see what's on the other side is my oldArchers Choice Grizzly.But it's not a verticalpin sight.
The very best low light sight, actually best for all light conditions,is none at all. When you learn to shoot that way, barebow can't be beat for hunting.

Single pin HHA. Brightest pin I have seen/tested. They also have a light for it but you won't need it. If you can't see the pin on that sight, you won't be able to see your hand in front of you.

In heavy cover where the light fades fast you just can't beat a tritium pin. No recharging, no batteries, it just glows. It's not too bright so it won't glare out your sight picture, it justworks great.
I have them on both of my hunting bows.

The Cobra Sidewinder, as Leathal Diamonds was speaking of, is the brightest I have tested. Although I would like to try the Black Gold Flashpoint witht the "Sky Coil". It has similar fiber optics that are wrapped like the Sidewinder, but they are covered with a photochromatic shell that is supposed to change from clear to purple depending on light conditions.
