Illumiglow is a renowned manufacturer of a very high quality chemical lights and marking products for military, law enforcement and emergency services. INTENSE LIGHT OUTPUT FOR UP TO 12 HOURS means you can get the job done when electric light isn’t an option. Each ChemLight green measures 15 cm (6 inches) and each lightstick is individually wrapped to protect it from light and moisture. The versatility of Starlites makes them first choice for anglers all over the country and the brand leader for bite detection after the sun has gone down.

All Starlites work on the simple but established principle of two non-toxic, non-corrosive chemicals inside a plastic tube separated by a wall of glass. These chemical light sticks also come with a guaranteed 4-year shelf life and individual foil wrapping. A glow stick, also known as a light stick, chem light, light wand, light rod, and rave light, is a self-contained, short-term light-source. This design, with its single glass ampoule inside a plastic tube filled with a second substance that when bent breaks the glass and then is shaken to mix the substances, most closely resembles the typical glow stick sold today.

The chemicals inside the plastic tube are a mixture of the dye, the base catalyst, and diphenyl oxalate. The idea was this would replace traditional emergency roadside flares and would be superior, since it was not a fire hazard, would be easier and safer to deploy, and would not be made ineffective if struck by passing vehicles. The hook of the ChemLight is equipped with a hole which a cord can be passed through for hanging up.

Glow sticks are also used worldwide in the marine industry, often used as fishing lures in long-line, recreational, and commercial fishing, as well as for personnel safety. Glow sticks also serve multiple functions as toys, readily visible night-time warnings to motorists, and luminous markings that enable parents to keep track of their children. It measured the secondary reactions that continue within used glow sticks, toxicity to cells in culture, and chemical reactions with DNA in vitro. It was created by the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater's Chemistry Department to celebrate the school's sesquicentennial, or 150th birthday in Whitewater, Wisconsin and cracked on 9 September 2018. ChemLights are standard issue for all US military personnel so you know there’s no better alternative available.The Starlite SL-5 Rod Tip Chemical Light includes 2 mini glow sticks and is great for illuminating your rod tip when night fishing to help indicate bites. Estas NO SON CHINAS, dice q funcionan 12h y de momento me duran entre 14h y 16h con buena intensidad de luz.

Glow sticks also contribute to the plastic waste problem, as glow sticks are single-use and made from plastic.The glow stick contains two chemicals, a base catalyst, and a suitable dye ( sensitizer, or fluorophor). Cyalume, maker of ChemLight, has been a pioneer and world leader in chemical lighting solutions for tactical and safety applications since the dawn of the technology. If spilled on skin, the chemicals could cause slight skin irritation, swelling, or, in extreme circumstances, vomiting and nausea.

This plot thus shows that the orange light from an orange glow stick (identical to the one in the above glow stick disassembly image) is created by a greenish-yellow light emitting chemoluminescent liquid partially inducing fluorescence in (and being filtered by) an orange plastic container. The ChemLight sticks provide intense, reliable illumination for up to 12 hours with 360° visibility.Glow sticks are waterproof, do not use batteries, consume no oxygen, generate no or negligible heat, produce neither spark nor flame, can tolerate high pressures such as those found under water, are inexpensive, and are reasonably disposable.
