Glow Sticks Bulk Wholesale, 25 6” Industrial Grade Purple Light Sticks. Bright Color, Glow 12-14 Hrs, Safety Glow Stick with 3-Year Shelf Life, GlowWithUs Brand

The terms “industrial” and “military” grade seem to be used quite a bit as a selling point, this item included. These are definitely NOT industrial grade. These would NOT be suitable for a survival bag or emergency lights in the car or house. After activating a few of these, they didn’t create enough light to do any meaningful work or emergency repairs. They’re barely visible at 20 feet. If this would have been advertised as a children’s novelty item instead of “industrial grade” I would have given this 4 or 5 stars. This is a cheap party favor made in China.

Mine barely glowed. If you had tried to use this to navigate in the dark, you'd get about 3-4 inches of light before it would be too dim to see a surface. I immediately replaced this purchase with one listed as US made competitor, and received a product VASTLY times superior for an extra ~$1 per stick. The sticks I received were instant landfill - NOT HAPPY IN ANY WAY.The pictures show both size varieties that both came from the seller: Glow With Us.I'll be posting a similar review for the other item in the picture.**IMPORTANT NOTE** Both pictures were taken days after receipt with items being held at room temp for days (72-74F) BEFORE activating the group (3 large red, 1 small orange), with picture taken with 5-10 mins of 1st stick activation... This should have been their best performance period (after ~60 seconds of shaking activation/mixing compounds). I mention this due to the item listed as having a 3yr shelf life & for party like events. The small orange sticks were undetectable at ~5 feet away and were difficult to snap/activate.

i had also purchased yellow ones from another seller, i did a test to see which was brightest and both were about equal. after 24 hours i threw them in the garbage, and another 24 hours later, i saw a glow from my garbage, the blue one still had a glow to it and the yellow did not! i will purchase from this seller again! (i use them when camping to mark the tent stakes so people don't trip...its good to know one will last for 2 days!)

My daughter's January wedding will end after dark and the traditional getaway sendoffs with bubbles, birdseed, rice, etc. will either not be visible or are banned by the venue. Why not use glow sticks in vibrant blue and green to wave the bride and groom on their way? After a thorough search I found these quality sticks. I tested one and after 12 hours there is still a faint glow. I think the newly-weds will be happy and expect the photographer can capture some interesting photos. Now back to the wood shop and the table I need to finish for the wedding ceremony.

It was halloween. my wife goes overboard, of course, and hung about 20 plastic pumpkins from the trees. "i want these to glow at night on halloween", she said. "lets get some glow sticks", she said. so we did.these are good glow sticks. they lasted for over a day (though faded after the first night), and glowed their little hearts out. they worked fine. i mean you can read with one of these things in a dark room. but an orange plastic pumpkin needs a little stronger light source, and the lamp post across the street washed out what light was emitted, so my wife didn't quite get the effect she wanted.that saying, i'd still buy these again when I need glow sticks. keep a couple in the car, toss them in the camping equipment box, for those times when you need some light and your kids have discharged all the batteries doing shadow puppets on the walls. but putting them in a solid container and expecting the light to shine through is a bit too much :)

Used these to illuminate decorations for Halloween. Orange had a strong initial glow for approximately a minute and quickly dimmed within 10 minutes to a very dim glow. It was barely perceptible at an hour after activation. Green was a little better than orange regarding duration of glow intensity, but still not near what the chart indicated. The green lasted about 1/8 of the time advertised. The orange lasted about 1/16 of the time advertised. Have used military and civilian available glow sticks and these have by far been the worst regarding intensity duration. Would not recommend.

I purchased these as part of our emergency kit. The funny thing is, I now need to reorder them! We went out to a camping trip a week back and I figured I would crack one. The people saw them and next thing you know everyone had to have one. Now, tonight Halloween I gave them to my son and his friends to keep them safe.A few things about the product: They are extremely bright. They are much brighter than anything I have used previously. They will ruin night vision but can be seen from an extreme distance. They lasted at least 8 hours at the camp. The come with a relatively cheap rubberized string you can loop through a hole and use to tie it off to a person or item. I see the string as something that would quickly rot in the heat of a car. There is also a hook shape on the end you can use if needed ie, hang from a clothes line, a nail a necklace etc.I will certainly purchase them again to replace what I used.

I bought these for Halloween, but used one as a test. The sticks are NOT the skimpy ones you get from some sellers, and their glow is a really bright, pretty green. I checked the glow every hour and it looked great for at least 4 hours (then I went to bed!). They came packaged properly with instructions on how to store them to ensure they don't activate accidentally. I am very happy with them.
