The Cyalume SnapLight is a blue industrial grade light stick measuring 6″ long, for providing instant 360 degree illumination, that can be seen up to a mile away for up to 8 hours in optimal conditions. The SnapLight is waterproof, non-toxic, and non-flammable. To activate the light stick, bend, snap and shake the tube. The light stick has a hook and gate top, for hanging or attaching the light. Each light stick is individually foil-wrapped for protection from light and moisture, and has up to a five-year shelf life from date of manufacture.

The durable, waterproof, external body of the light stick is made from low density polyethylene (LDPE), and is phthalate free for safety. The internal illuminating substance is non-toxic and non-flammable, and the components of the light stick are recyclable. The light stick floats in water and works best between 40 to 80 degrees F (4 to 27 degrees C), and although the light stick works at higher or lower temperatures, it is less effective in colder temperatures.

All sticks are tested at a temperature of 72 degrees F (22 degrees C) to determine the illumination duration. Each 10-degree C (50-degree F) increase or decrease in temperature doubles or halves the reaction rate, and therefore the brightness and duration. For example, the same light stick that emits approximately 30 lux (a unit that describes how much light is visible over a square meter) at 15 minutes after activation at 24 degrees C (75 degrees F) will be half as bright but glow twice as long at 14 degrees C (57 degrees F). At 34 degrees C (93 degrees F), the same light stick would be twice as bright, but glow half as long. Storage at elevated temperatures (above 120 degrees F or 49 degrees C) will decrease shelf life and start to soften the plastic tube, and increase the risk of a leak. Exposure to cold temperatures will not affect the light sticks if they are warmed above 40 degrees F (4.5 degrees C) before activation, unless they are frozen (which occurs at -15 to -20 degrees F, or -26 to -29 degrees C). Once light sticks have been frozen, they will still produce some light, but performance will not be as reliable. Humidity and atmospheric conditions do not affect the light sticks.

Have the right expectations… I was not sure what to expect when I purchased the Cyalume SnapLight Industrial Grade Chemical Light Stick. I figured I would get about eight hours of dim light as they are advertised. Well, I received what I expected. The Light Stick lasted about eight hours, but for the last few hours there was only a small amount of light. I think these are good as a novelty item. I’m not convinced they would be much use in an emergency situation or if the power goes out. On the other hand, they do produce…

Stick These work as you’d expect. They’re Cyalume brand, so they’re the real thing. I keep a few for emergencies, but mainly it’s for my son’s baths. If you have kids, try a glow stick bubble bath. They love it. They aren’t battery/nuclear powered. They’re glow sticks. Why do people think they can crack one and signal planes or hang it from a tree and mow the lawn? It’s a freaking glow stick people. It does exactly what normal people would expect from a glow stick.
