Green Emergency Glow Sticks - Ultra Bright Long Lasting Industrial Grade Glowsticks for Survival Gear, Camping Lights, Power Outages and Military

Living in an area prone to hurricanes and power outages, I like this brand the best because the expiration date is shown on the wrapper of every glow stick. Over the years I have found that it takes extra effort and time to contact the manufacturer and find-out and record the expiration date of emergency products. These wrapped glow sticks, however, clearly show the expiration date -- a very convenient, time-saving and cost-saving feature.

I am building up my emergency supplies and got these glow sticks based on apparent value for the price. These come in a box and each stick is individually wrapped, which is nice. Of course I had to try one out and cracked one to see how it did. I got the green color. First impression was that these are actually very bright. It isn’t the same as a headlamp or a flashlight, but in pitch black you can definitely make your way around. They are easy to crack and also seem very well made (no leaks). I figured they would last a good 12 hours or so based on how they are advertised. This one has lasted that long and then some. It has been going for almost 48 hours (no joke!) and although it has faded, it is still working. I’m not sure if this is a fluke but this was at room temperature of 73° F over this entire time. Based on the value for the price, and how long at least this first one has lasted, these are perfect for emergencies, a bug out bag, or anything where you might need light or visibility (ex: walking around during Halloween). You can’t go wrong with these!

These are a great addition to the emergency kit.....I keep these and a flashlight(s) around various points in the house...esp. in the bathrooms....it really is a pain when you are on the Throne and the power goes out....esp at night!

I got these glowsticks to have as "Light Up Nametags" with my friends while hiking the Ape Caves (a cave system in southern Washington.) Since we were in a group of 5, we each were given our own color to use. We all opened our glowsticks at the same time, cracked them at the same time, and this gave us a unique opportunity to test each glowstick. This is what we found: Green is the brightest color. By far. I could tell exactly where my friend was at all times. Blue and Red are tied for second place. They're very vibrant and bright, but they don't provide much light. For our intended use, they worked great. But, don't go thinking that they will light a path for you. Yellow comes in at third. Not impressed, but not the worst. White is last place. My boyfriend wore this color, and oh my goodness I kept looking for him when he was right next to me. Trust me when I say the white color is WEAK. It looked like someone was shining a flashlight into a gallon jug of milk. Now, with that being said, these suckers last a LONG time. We hiked the entire cave system and were back to our car in about 3 hours. But, even after the hour drive home and getting dinner, they were STILL glowing bright 6 hours after we cracked them. All in all, I'm happy with what I received for the cost I paid. In the future, I might see about ordering all green ones or all blue (if they come up with that option). If you're looking for some great glowsticks, then look no further. Even with my qualms about them they are still the best glowsticks I have used.

Can never have enough glow sticks. I keep them in the car for emergency lighting or to mark a break-down instead of flares or in case of power outage. The uses are too many to list and quite obvious but these are all individually wrapped, glow for the entire night and give off a good amount of light. For the price it's worth getting a box just to have them around. Getting cheap "dollar store" glow sticks is not a good plan. Spend the few extra dollars & get lights that will actually work when you need them.
