Light Sticks are an excellent item to use in a 72-hour kit or just as an extra source of light in addition to being a source of entertainment for raves and caves. They require no batteries or electricity and are waterproof, inexpensive, and easily disposable. Because light sticks, a.k.a. glow sticks, do not require electricity or batteries they are the safest source of lighting after a natural disaster. (The chemical contents are also non-toxic and non-flammable.) Light sticks are even used by military forces as a light source or light markers. This source of light for the public typically provides anywhere from 5 hours to 24 hours of light before the glow fades out. The time you get from your light stick should be indicated on the package. Light sticks are also offered in many different colors and lengths. Light sticks are very safe products, but there are some things to know depending on your plans for using them. The warmer it is, the brighter it will glow until the chemical reaction runs out, however if you are able to freeze your light stick it will prolong the amount of time it glows. They should be stored in a cold, dry, place, and if you somehow get the chemicals on your clothes, (which would only happen if the plastic casing was punctured, which is very difficult to do), it can stain. Children are especially fun to use light sticks with. They are great to have around when the power goes out and your kids need a "nightlight" to help them to not be scared. When I've gone camping I have used them for the same reason. In a dark room it is amazing how much light they actually produce. We recommend keeping light sticks in your home, car, 72-hour kits and shelter in place.
