Blue LED Glow Stick / Emergency Flashlight

[jetpo27]

Is this thing rechargeable?

[zapper067]

Change the LED to Infrared.

Can you glow string with this?

@Eatyoshnitzel

no

@Eatyoshnitzel if you are looking for good cheap or more expencive lights for glowstcking go to liquidEmotions . com and use code airstrx when you are finishing your order (you have to fill out your order and its one of the last steps it asks for a code) they have so may lights ranging from gloves glowsticks and a few types of led light sticks including flowlights!

@Eatyoshnitzel well, he's half right. As they are, they can't be used for glowstringing. However, with some MINOR modifications, you can glowstring with them. I know because i've done it myself. They're a little heavy, but they are so worth it.

Dancers be warned:

I was gifted one of these and originally I was very excited. Before I bought another one to freehand, I tried glow sticking with it. The intensity, size, and multiple functionality made me very excited, but once i tried some throws, I was immediately turned off. Any small bump (like a catch) will turn this device off.

@Oneironaut72

What about taping the switch on or something?

[sonicoliver]

@Oneironaut72 it's probably the battery contacts momentarily loosing contact, friend had that problem with some LED double staffs... you could solder it or put some padding in there to secure the batteries a bit more.

very cool...get my kids each their own color.

[GearBuyersGuide]

thats a good idea

[TC38Cole]

They are a bit better than chemsticks (glowsticks) since you can use them more than once. Obviously the con to that is the need to carry/buy batteries for it, but like I said new batteries are better than a new chemstick!

[puntedcat]

Glowsticks are a dollar.... This is basically useless except for the flashlight I suppose.

[TC38Cole]

And glowsticks last 8-12 hours, then it's garbage, and you can't turn a glowstick off when you aren't using it, to conserve the light. Half dozen of one, six of the other, it's all about personal choice I suppose.

[GearBuyersGuide]

Good points

[TC38Cole]

Thanks!

I picked up a few of them at Home Depot a few months back. Not a bad item to stick in your bag. Only down side is its something else that needs batteries.

5/5

I think this would be best for a child's survival kit. I don't know whether I'm thinking that because of the simplicity or the low price.

[unclearless]

@AndrewXAnarchy, It is very possible that the price/simplicity would effect your view of these. My girl and I bought some before camping in the Southwest winter, and they really came in handy! When we got our "Night-vision" from being in the dark, these really seemed to be more than enough for a trail. I wondered what other use they could have, besides light, and I thought that if a small party had separate colors, you could look back at a trail, and see "Who" is "Where." Just a thought.
