A glow stick is a single-use, translucent plastic tube containing isolated substances that, when combined, make light through chemiluminescence, so does not require an electrical power source. Glow sticks are often used for recreation, but may also be relied upon for light during military, police, fire, or EMS operations.

Famous quotes containing the words glow and/or stick:
“Sport is the bloom and glow of a perfect health. The great will not condescend to take anything seriously; all must be as gay as the song of a canary, though it were the building of cities, or the eradication of old and foolish churches and nations, which have cumbered the earth long thousands of years.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I get a little Verlaine
for Patsy with drawings by Bonnard although I do
think of Hesiod, trans. Richmond Lattimore or
Brendan Behan’s new play or Le Balcon or Les Negres
of Genet, but I don’t, I stick with Verlaine
after practically going to sleep with quandariness”
—Frank O’Hara (1926–1966)
