Cyalume - tactical glow sticks

Cyalume tactical glow sticks are the best lightsticks on the market - it's no coincidence that they are the first choice of soldiers in the American military and emergency services, such as the Navy or Air Force. They are used primarily as light markers for lighting, signaling, marking or identification.

The powerful Chemlights are particularly popular because of their intense and reliable luminosity.

With a long-lasting light duration of up to 12 hours after activation, the bendable rods serve as a reliable light source.
