Alla tillverkare har lyspasta från samma ställe. Finns tre olika ”styrkor”, men i princip alla använder den näst starkaste, som kallas superluminova. SEIKO använder ibland den starkaste, till vissa Prospexmodeller.
Så för att sammanfatta har Sinn samma lyspasta som alla andra i branschen. Bredd och tjocklek på lyspastan är det som påverkar lysförmågan.
Edit: Nästan all info står på Tritec’s hemsida.
Men om man läser recensionen som jag länkar till så står det att Sinn har en egen spec. på sin lume så något skiljer sig.

I received a lengthy reply about Sinn's lume specifications and that's when I noticed how complex designing a watch from scratch really is.
First of all, the compound Sinn use isn't just regular Super-LumiNova C1. The specifications for the U1 for example read, that being a diver's watch, the lume should rather be long lasting instead of super bright at first (one of the more common things U1 owners seem to complain about). That's because Sinn can't just assume that every diver "charges up" their passively lumed watch right before entering the water. Rather, e.g. some special force members might go diving in the middle of the night, in which case the watch probably hasn't seen any kind of light for hours, yet they need a clearly readable watch. A luminous compound that's bright at first might look cooler but in fact it wastes so much of the stored energy at the beginning that this wasted energy is missing to keep the watch illuminated in the long run.
That's why Sinn have a luminous compound made just for them that meets their specifications.
There even is a specification for the application of the lume. In this case the spec. reads that the hands and the bezel pip should always be brighter than the dial markings to assist the reading of the most important functions underwater. That's apparently especially important since the diver's cognitive abilities might be reduced at times, while submerged.
I think it's pretty impressive what Sinn included in their lume spec. sheet and again, it just all makes sense.
