Great product!

It's been almost 9 months since we purchased the snap lights and we finally got a chance to use them last night. During an electrical storm, our power was knocked out at around 10pm. We have a three story house, so I placed 1-stick at the bottom of each staircase. 12-hours later both sticks are still glowing bright enough to light up the floor in daylight. I'm grateful to see that the product claims made by Cyalume were kept. The Snaplight gets the job done. Photo attached.

Advertises 12 hours, which it does glow for *checks watch* going on 10 hours now, but not good for illuminating an area after a few hours. It is definitely still visible as a signaling tool for at least ten hours now. Honestly it's brighter after 10 hours than I thought it would be. I was expecting a "well it still technically glows at 12 hours even though you can barely see it" sort of thing, but it it's legit glowing at 10 hours.

Bright, long-lasting, and a good value

I bought these as a non-battery powered, non-sparking, water-proof emergency light source for adding to black-out kits I made for relatives. For most circumstances, this isn't a good alternative to a decent LED flashlight, but if you need something that can be taken into the shower, carried in the rain, or used near a suspected gas leak, this is a great option. Something happened in the non-mil-spec glow stick market in the past year and if you get these in decent quantity, they're about on price point with glow-sticks for kids that aren't nearly as bright and don't last as long. Since they're disposable and there's a lot of plastic, I'd feel pretty bad using them regularly, but they're solid emergency gear.

Fantastic Lights for Utility AND Fun

I think I've purchased this 30 pack of Cyalume SnapLight sticks 5 or 6 times by now. I love these things. I've tried the other colors, but I don't think anything beats green. I crack them open when the sun goes down, they stay bright until bedtime, and they provide great night time light for maneuvering in the dark when nature calls. The formed hook and eyelet provide the necessary connection points for tying a string around your neck or hooking to the top of a tent. The price is right for these handy little light sticks also. I've purchased cheaper ones for the kiddos to play with, but none that are of high quality and are as bright as these. Now I keep these stocked at the house and grab a handful from our stash for 4th of July celebrations, trick or treating, camping, electrical outages, random fun, etc.

Great

Perfect emergency lighting for marking your path in the woods or the Desert. They’re pretty dim after six hours, but in complete darkness you’ll still be able to see them. Not bad for the price.

Does it's job as advertised!

I also was led to these, through reviews, but found some reviews that seemed contradictory, some saying the lights lasted, other saying they were dim and did not last. Had to find out for myself! Ordered these and test fired a few, and found that they light up bright, and stay lit. Obviously, they are not nearly as bright at hour 12 as they are the first moment you crack it open, and it's unrealistic to expect such. As one reviewer said, and gave me a great laugh, these are not meant for landing aircraft ahahaha. So, yup, lights up bright, and I'd say it stayed at that initial brightness for a number of hours. I didn't really notice it start to fade for a few hours, and then it was a slight fading to where it was more like a dim flashlight as it neared its end. As a testament to this brand, after the successful test firing of these new ones, I was putting a handful in my car, and I found one in my trunk that I'd long forgotten, that had been in a box of car tools that I'd passed from car to car that I've owned over the years -- meaning the light stick was at least eight plus years old. Cracked it open, fired it up, and it remained lit until the next morning. My summary: Highly recommend!!!

Same great quality I’ve come to expect!

I had just let my kids use the last of these for a sleepover. They were at least 7 years old! They put out an awesome amount of useful light for at least 12hours. They actually stayed illuminated for approximately 16 hours. So I ordered more from Amazon, and when i received these, I was equally as pleased as I was with the ones I was replacing. See attached images for packaging and lot number/expiration dates. I would definitely purchase these again. I will update after using about 50% of the package I purchased.

Bright after 12 hours, usable glow after 26 hours! See photos.

Wow. These have far exceeded specifications. See pictures - still emitting useful glow after 26 hours since activation. Photos are at 26 hour point; at 12 hours it was plenty bright. At 26 hours there was enough light to dIscern pictures and read fine text. Sure, it is fading but, c'mon - 26 hours and it is rated for 12? That's just crazy good. Important: Stick was at room temp (about 75F) entire time; there was NO artificial chilling (e.g., refrig/freezer) or dip in temp (e.g., outdoors --> a cooler night) to prolong chemical reaction. Lowering the temp is a "trick" that can be used to extend life of light. This was not done. Sympathy note: I truly feel sorry for the people who wrote one star reviews because the sticks they received seem to have expired and faded quickly. I believe you, I do. What a tragedy if a person went to use (and rely on) one of these in a dire emergency, only to find it fades to zero after 90 minutes or so. That is criminal. Because of those one star reviews I tested one of the ten in my batch. It glowed right away, was "bright" (as bright as a glow stick can be, I guess!) and was strong at 12 hours. I wanted to vouch for this product and also thank the "bad batch" reviewers who prompted me to test these BEFORE an emergency. I'm so sorry yours were the rare sticks that were no good.

Green Calume Light Sticks

Bought these "snap" light sticks to mark our campsite post at night for taking unexpected trips in the middle of the night to the latrine, showering and marking nite time danger zones like guide lines from tents, rocks and uneven ground on our site. They are advertised as 12 hour, but they stayed illuminated for 72 hours but gradually not as bright as the first night. (I think this was because we had a full shade site, and the sun didn't degrade the chemical inside the stick) Still glowing on the last nite. Great for making a kid friendly glo-lantern . Always a family camp favorite!

Great Power/Light Supply (reliable)

We are happy to have these on hand in addition to batteries, flashlights and lanterns. There is a bonus to having them. They last way beyond the expiration date listed on the packaging. Also, one of them lasted nearly two days when suggested life is 12 or so hours. This same type of light stick was left in the basement and forgotten 10 years past the expiration date and they still worked as well. We had a power outage and I put one in the bathroom. It was still glowing the second day. I recommend having these. I gave several to friends and acquaintances to try them this year. They are also good for kids on Halloween. This is a pack of 30. I plan to buy more soon.
