Abstract: An illumination chamber for activating a photoluminous object includes a chamber assembly defining an interior, substantially fully enclosable chamber defined by a chamber assembly inner margin, the chamber assembly including an illuminator port opening into the chamber and a substantially sealable object port opening into the chamber, the object port having a hingedly shiftable lid, the lid presenting an inner margin defining in part the chamber when in a closed disposition, and the chamber assembly inner margin, including the lid inner margin, presenting a substantially contiguous reflective surface to the chamber, the reflective surface defining substantially the full chamber, exclusive of the illuminator port. A method of illumination of a photoluminous object is further included.
