Glow sticks are fun to play
with when used properly. They
offer hours of light and
entertainment, and come in had
during natural disaster, for
emergency lighting. Light
sticks make a perfect safety
light because they are
portable and lightweight.
Light sticks are also popular
for dancers, which can be worn
as necklaces. Glow and light
sticks make an ideal lamp for
divers and campers during the
night time. Lightsticks or
glow sticks are used by
trick-or-treaters during
Halloween and for a party
decoration. In order to
activate a light stick, you
bend the plastic stick, which
breaks the glass vial. This
allows the chemicals that were
inside the glass to mix with
the chemicals in the plastic
tube. Once these substances
contact each other, a reaction
starts taking place, and the
reaction releases light
causing the stick to glow.
