Light Sticks & Glow Sticks

A chemical light also known as a glowstick, is a type of disposable light source that consists of a plastic container containing two different liquids, isolated from each other. When the container is bent, the two substances mix, which triggers a chemical reaction and causes the glowstick to start emitting light. Glow sticks are commonly used at music festivals, outdoor events, by uniformed services, tourism or the military. They are also useful during ASG games for marking players and strategic points, illuminating maps or marking hazardous areas such as holes or trenches.

At MILITARY.EU, we have a variety of chemical lights available that do not require power and provide light regardless of the prevailing weather conditions and temperature. One major advantage of chemical lighting is that it emits light in all directions (360 degrees). Furthermore, the Lightstick emits light for up to several hours, making it ideal for longer trips when an additional light source is needed. The glow sticks we offer are non-toxic and non-flammable. They are available in a variety of colours, including green, orange and white. In addition to these colours, we also offer versions of chemical lights that emit infrared light. This type of light is invisible to the human eye, but can be detected by special devices such as thermal imaging cameras. You can also find packs of light sticks, which come in different colours.

At MILITARY.EU you will find chemical lights from numerous manufacturers such as: Badger Outdoor, Helikon-Tex, Mil-Tec or BCB. This tool is useful for signalling, marking positions or notifying of danger. They can be used to mark accident sites or as an alternative light source.
