Glow in the dark is fairly disappointing

Depends on the quality/brand.

I got a glow-in-the-dark skeleton-print apron at Joann's a few years ago, and that mf is BRIGHT. I'll be painting or doing something in the kitchen, step outside for a moment (say, to take trash to the dumpster) and then upon stepping back inside from sunlight to a more 'comfortable low-light' indoors environment, be reminded that indeed yes my silly skeleton apron GLOWS.

I also got some of the culture-hustle glow powder for mixing with pigment, and similarly, that shit puts out some LIGHT when it's charged. I like to mix it with clear acrylic and apply it to patches and such to hide secret glow messages or features (eg, light-up eyes).

Yeah, my partner's mom bought a pyjama for our daughter without realizing it was glow-in-the-dark, and it's crazy how bright it is. Makes it easy to spot her at night though!

Similarly my sister got us a really big set of glow-in-the-dark stars that included a giant moon, and if I hold a book close to it when it's "fully charged" I can actually read it, and I've woken up a few times at 3 AM with the stars still mildly glowing.
