Glow Stick

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:

    Sensuality reconciles us with the human race. The misanthropy of the old is due in large part to the fading of the magic glow of desire.
    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    The Indian remarked as before, “Must have hard wood to cook moose-meat,” as if that were a maxim, and proceeded to get it. My companion cooked some in California fashion, winding a long string of the meat round a stick and slowly turning it in his hand before the fire. It was very good. But the Indian, not approving of the mode, or because he was not allowed to cook it his own way, would not taste it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
