Mike, Sunlight will charge it, but the best results are from a flash, or the little UV lights used to cure those UV patch materials. Of course during daylight this isn't going to have much visible (to us) effect unless you are fishing very deep. OTOH, there is still some question as to exactly how a fish's eye responds to phosphorescence-generated light, so it may even have some positive effects in full daylight.
