CyalumeSnaplight Safety Lighstick Orange

The light sticks work good. Snap and shake to get light. Last for 12 hours, tested one . Use for work

I bought these for part of an emergency kit. You never know when you're going to lose power. The light up well (in the dark) and last quite a long time.

I knew exactly what i was looking for with the intended purpose of these light sticks. The price listed from this seller is on par with local retailers, perhaps a few cents more expensive. once i placed the order (of which i purchased two boxes), it was a short two day wait until they arrived. No fancy packaging here, just a box shaped like a pencil box with ten individually wrapped light sticks in side. My package arrived with obvious bends in the box, i wouldn't say crushed, perhaps "stressed". Despite the exterior however, all ten light sticks in the first box i opened to test were in perfect condition. upon removing one light stick from the box, you will immediately notice how thick and strong the foil they are individually wrapped in is. Absolutely no light or moisture is going to get into this packaging without a puncture. I was particularly interested in this feature, as i intended to keep these around for awhile prior to use. i unwrapped the first stick, which was easily accomplished thanks to the perforated edges of the foil wrapper. The stick itself is bent to activate, i believe breaking a glass tube on the inside and releasing the necessary chemicals to create this chain reaction. When bent to activate, it initially felt like i was going to break the entire stick in half, but after applying enough force, that satisfy snap occurred and the light stick sprang to life with a bright orange light in my hand. Im not sure why these light sticks are labeled as industrial grade, but do not be fooled into thinking your buying a portable torch. they are bright enough to be seen for extremely long distances, but not really bright enough to use as a source of light to do things much more than 5 or 6 inches away from the light itself. If your going to use this for safety in mind, it should fit the billet. I give one to each of my three cousins when we go trick or treating, just in case they start wandering of the sidewalk into some dark yard. Spotting a glowing orange light is much easier than spotting a 7 year old dressed up as a fireman at night. Another useful way i use these lights is to mark where we keep our trash bag while we are camping. usually placing the trash bag outside of our camp (to keep animals from getting too close), we tie one of these up with the plastic hook on top to the bag, and bingo, easy to spot your destination. I imagine you could use them perfectly well for spotting things in the dark, but they aren't what your looking for as a flashlight replacement. The plastic tubes are sturdy, they are not going to accidentally snap, the foil wrapper is well designed and perfectly suitable to protect these light sticks, and the product is fairly priced. If your not fooling yourself into thinking that these sticks will turn night into day, im sure you will be just as satisfied as i was with this purchase.

Great product, bright and last long!

as advertised and delivery was reasonable
