The glow stick contains two chemicals, a base catalyst, and a suitable dye ( sensitizer, or fluorophor). If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag.

INTENSE LIGHT OUTPUT FOR UP TO 12 HOURS means you can get the job done when electric light isn’t an option. The Zebco Chemical Light Float allows you to place a chemical light into it so you can fish at night and see exactly where your float is in the water. It consists of a translucent plastic tube containing isolated substances that, when combined, make light through chemiluminescence. The main advantage of the chemical light is that it illuminated the surrounding in the range of 360 degrees. This wall breaks when bent, mixing the chemicals and causing a reaction and the resultant powerful glow which lasts between four and six hours.

Cooling a glow stick slows the reaction a small amount and causes it to last longer, but the light is dimmer. The ingredients in light sticks are generally non-toxic, and most cases will not require medical attention. All Cyalume products are updated by our engineers in the US and manufactured in our factories in France and the US according to strict quality standards. ChemLight is so bright it can be seen from up to a mile away – so you’ll have no problem illuminating small rooms, passages, trails and camps with just a single light stick. Tench anglers fix them on floats to fish pit margins, river anglers wrap them to quiver tips, and carp hunters tape them to bobbins.

This light stick has a hook and gate top which keeps it secure whether you’re hanging, attaching or stringing them together. The design also included a stand for the signal device so it could be thrown from a moving vehicle and remain standing in an upright position on the road. These watertight floating lightsticks feature an eyelet for attachment to a sailing jacket and are 100% reliable, unbreakable, non-corrosive, watertight and non-toxic.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

When the outer container is flexed, the inner container breaks, allowing the solutions to combine, causing the necessary chemical reaction. Also did not come boxed, came separate in a bubble envelope - no problem for me, but would be nice to have received the box for storage. Spectral emission of chemiluminescence (green line) of mixed fluorophore and peroxide, which was removed from an orange glow stick, fluorescence of liquid fluorophore in glass ampoule only (before mixing) while under black light (yellow-orange line), fluorescence of plastic outer container of orange glow stick under black light (red line), and spectrum of reassembled chemiluminescent glow stick (glowing liquid poured back into original orange plastic vial) (darker orange line). The sensitizers used are polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, a class of compounds known for their carcinogenic properties. These chemical light sticks from Ocean Sun are small and compact and yet give out a high level of light.

Estas NO SON CHINAS, dice q funcionan 12h y de momento me duran entre 14h y 16h con buena intensidad de luz. Pero, al doblarlas para activarlas, el plàstico se rompe y te salpicas del líquido toxico,a mi me entro en el ojo y tube 1/2h de irritacion. Glow sticks using this approach tend to have colored containers, due to the dye embedded in the plastic.To activate simply bend the light stick until a snap noise is heard and then shake the light stick to mix the chemicals and the stick will illuminate. This is advantageous when the second fluorophore would degrade in solution or be attacked by the chemicals.
