Lumistick 6 Inch Premium Glow Sticks | 15mm Thick Flat Bottom Illuminating Glowing Sticks | Waterproof & Non-Toxic Light Up Neon Sticks with Hook for Camping & Hiking (25 Glow Sticks, Purple)

Purchased these to use intact inside a gatorade bottle turned into a firefly, and to cut open to use in fairy jars.Durability: specifically purchase the "premium" lightsticks because I read that sometimes glowsticks will break apart. Had no trouble with these. These are definitely thicker and very sturdy.Glowing power: These are advertised as glowing for 8-10 hours. The ones I received definitely glowed as advertised. We "broke" these lightsticks at about 7:00 p.m. These glowed throughout the night and into the morning. Later, at about 2:30 p.m., I found some in a dark closet and they were still glowing. However, the ones that I cut open to pour into a jar for my fairy jar did not glow as long. When we woke up in the morning, they had already stopped glowing.Colors: I received all 5 colors in my pack. However, they don't look quite as they do in the photo. My blue was more of a purple (which I loved). The green was much more flourescent green. The pink one was a dark fuschia. Overall, I liked these a lot and will definitely purchase these again.

I have been getting these for my daughter since she was 6 months old or so. They have strong walls so I was not worried about her biting them and breaking them open. (I still tried to make sure they did not go in her mouth, but there is only so much a parent can do without hovering.) We mostly used them for car rides when it was dark out, or walking home from the park or store in the dark. She would get bored if she just had to sit in the dark (and therefore SCREAM) but with one of these she was very happy the whole ride/walk.Now at age 2 she still loves these glow-sticks! I will sometimes give them to her for longer car rides when she is not ready to nap/sleep, but mostly we just play with them. In the evening I will turn most of the lights off and we will activate a few of them and have fun dancing with glow-sticks.When first activated they are SUPER bright and then dim a bit after 15-30 min. They still stay quite bright for at least a few hours. Her patience runs out long before the glow-stick does.

We purchased these for our 3 yr old grandson's visit & were pleased. They are bright & not flimsy, and have many uses. He loved tossing them in the bathtub with the lights off to make the water glow. We used them as a nightlight by his bed, and we hung them from his stroller at a theme park for a quick ID in the stroller parking area. They easily glowed all night & even had some glow the next day.

When reviewing glow sticks, brightness and length of glow are key. Sticks glow brightly for about 5 minutes, then go into very consistent medium glow for good 12 hours. The green sticks seem to be brightest longest, but all look great. Would give 5 stars, but one of first 12 in box didn't work at all. So for box of 25, may get 2 duds. Still, for brightness and length of glow, pass test very well. Checked after 24 hours, still slight glow. Expect at least 1 dud in box, that's pretty standard after serving in Army and using a lot of yellow, industrial strength glow sticks. Good product at great price.

I purchased these for camping and emergencies - and am very happy. They provide just enough light to see around in the dead of night when nature calls, or you need to find something buried in your pack. They're dim enough that they don't disturb others like a flashlight would. Obviously they're very safe - no heat or flame. They're also great for halloween for the kiddies. The usable light lasts about 8 hours, and they continue to glow dimly for another 12-16 hours. If you put these in the freezer after you crack them, it extends their life for about 4 more hours. Consequently, their lives will be shortened if they are heated.Do NOT throw these in the fire if they have not been cracked - there's a glass ampule inside the stick that WILL explode if it is heated too quickly. . . I'm speaking from experience here (I know, I know). I escaped unscathed, but there is a real danger of red hot glass fragments.Overall I'm pleased with my purchase.

After a very extended power outage, I thunk "maybe some glow sticks would be nice". Yes - I have solar lighting, crank lighting, candles, battery stuff galore and am fully prepared. Having a few glow sticks would have been nice.These were the ones I tried first. The price and number of sticks were just right.I tried one just to see how it would work for a night and it lasted perfectly. Even on the second night it could be used as an 'effect' light (not bright enough to do anything with). I especially like the thicker flat bottom that allows it to stand upright.With a 2-year shelf light, one box is perfect for that rare power outage. At the end of two years, I can buy another pack and give these to some kids to play with - a win-win.

So I bought these for a camping trip I’m doing and I use glow sticks for other survival things. Usually I buy the expensive military grade ones which are great don’t get me wrong. I got these as a let’s see how they are and I’m pretty shocked. I can’t say really how durable they are but to crack them it takes some force so I believe they can take a beating. I cracked one at 430 pm yesterday and 28 hours later it is still glowing. It isn’t as bright as it was but it’s still pretty decently bright. I will def buy these again because for the money you can’t really beat them. Also the tie it comes with for a necklace works great to tie them to a carabiner and pull off quickly when you need one instead of having to unhook it from the carabiner.

These glow sticks were a perfect addition to our backwoods camping trip. We used them to guide the way to the boom box for my kids. They lasted from 8pm through the night

Does the job nicely

Ok

I love these glow-sticks. They are very bright and last just as long as advertised. I keep them in my emergency kit, and I would recommend everyone do the same. They could potentially come in handy one day.

Very disappointed as I’ve just received a completely different product to this picture & description! I thought I was buying the glow sticks in picture!! What arrived we’re just bog standard straight glow sticks you could buy in Poundland!
