Chemical lights serve very well as an alternative light source. You can use them for fishing, outdoor activities and also for airsoft or paintball. They are often used for navigation, to keep track of team members during night movements. The form of a glowing stick is the most common shape of chemical light.
It is a plastic transparent tube with a liquid inside, in the liquid there is a capsule with another substance. The light is activated by bending the tube and shaking it, the capsule breaks, and the tube emits light of a certain color and intensity. The light is the result of luminescence during the chemical reaction of the two substances contained in the tube – no heat, flames or sparks, no batteries. The stick is durable, shines even in the rain and underwater, and does not suffer from self-discharge like batteries. This chemical light is also harmless, non-flammable, non-explosive and non-toxic.
Chemical lights, not just in this form, are used by all integrated forces including the military. Chemical lights are ideal in all emergency situations, for camping, for fishing, for diving, and have become popular for celebrations and parties (birthdays, New Year’s Eve, etc.). They are also suitable as a supplement to motorists' equipment for emergencies, road hazards and traffic accidents. Equally well, they serve tourists and nature and outdoor enthusiasts. This stick is very resistant to accidental breaking and therefore unwanted activation thanks to its tapering shape and size.
Sticks emitting classic light of various colors are intended, for example, for marking targets or outlining paths. They also find use in the military, with integrated rescue system units, or during night airsoft or paintball competitions, night games, for long-distance signaling, and in other previously mentioned activities and situations. The loop at the end of the light allows threading a string for tying and the integrated hook for hanging wherever needed, for example on a tent loop.
