Cyalume - tactical glow sticks

Cyalume's tactical glow sticks are the best light sticks on the market—it's no coincidence that they're the first choice of U.S. military personnel and emergency services personnel, such as the Navy and Air Force. They're primarily used as light markers for illumination, 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.
