This is more of a toy, but what do you expect for this price. They dont shine much light. I used a couple of them as a nightlight inside the tent for my small kid. You can also attach them to guy lines as to not trip over the lines in the dark.
Chemical lighting is a light source that does not require any power supply. It can illuminate for 8-12 hours, providing the ability to signal, mark positions or illuminate an area.
The plastic container contains a glass capsule with a chemical substance which, when broken, reacts with the dye in the tube. The combination of the two substances causes a reaction, resulting in the lightstick emitting light.
Product features:
- provides light without a power source,
- runs for 8-12 h,
- easy to use,
- equipped with a handle for hanging,
- waterproof,
- does not produce heat.
The set includes 10 lightsticks.

Very useful, discreet, light and takes up very little space as a marker. Don’t expect to signal with this and it’s very difficult to use as a "light" – at a push for a map very close up, but that’s not its main use. It’s really good as a beacon or area marker.

Perfect choice for preserving night vision I picked up these red mini glow sticks to go along with the green ones in my car’s emergency kit. While the green sticks are reserved purely for signalling and getting attention, these red ones are great for low-profile lighting. Red light is well-known for being the best option when you need to read a map or check your gear in the dark without ruining your night vision. The entire 10-pack is incredibly compact—with each stick measuring just 4.5 cm—so the bundle easily tucks into a backpack side pocket unnoticed. The manufacturer promises a shelf life of several years for the unopened packaging, so you can confidently leave these in your bag until they are needed. A fantastic, lightweight, and above all, reliable addition to any emergency setup, as you don’t have to worry about draining batteries or cold weather affecting battery life.

A compact and reliable light stick for emergencies I bought this 10-pack of mini glow sticks (green) for my car’s emergency kit, just in case it gets dark. Green is the colour of light that stands out best to the human eye in the dark. It provides good visibility for signalling, but doesn’t dazzle or blind your own night vision when reading a map or checking your gear. I haven’t personally tested or activated the sticks yet, but I chose them purely for emergency preparedness. At just 4.5 cm long, the entire 10-pack fits very easily into a small pocket of my backpack without taking up unnecessary space. In their unopened protective packaging, the sticks remain usable for years, making them a great “forget-in-the-bag” item. According to the manufacturer, they’re best suited for signalling, communication, navigating in the dark, or close-up reading. An affordable, lightweight, and reliable addition to your car’s emergency kit when you need a dependable signal light without worrying about the batteries running out.

The emergency light sticks are a practical addition to any kit. They are lightweight, compact and easy to store, making them ideal for outdoor activities, camping or as part of an emergency and prepper kit. The build quality appears reliable and they are easy to use. I especially like that in an emergency you have a source of light available quickly, without needing batteries. Overall, a useful product with a very good price-performance ratio.
-
Miniature lightsticks are great for anglers and also for camping on tent guy lines. The price matches the features. I definitely recommend this product.
-
It's a simple and inexpensive solution for marking lights, short-term signalling or gentle ambient lighting. The small size makes it convenient to carry, but compared to regular glow sticks, the light is weaker and lasts for a shorter time. They work well as a backup and disposable light source, but they are not suitable as the main light for more demanding outdoor activities.
-
These light sticks are really small, they look more like a gadget or a toy. They shine quite well, but their size is very small. For this price, however, you shouldn't expect miracles.

Mil-Tec Lightstick Mini 10 pcs - Blue are small light sticks that are highly visible in the dark and are perfect for marking various things. Their small size makes them easy to carry and pack. It's an interesting and inexpensive gadget that I can recommend.
-
Very small, glowing sticks. They are truly miniature. They are not suitable for lighting the way, but they work great for marking something in the dark. The packaging is compact, you can easily put it in an organiser.
-
I own several of these types of lamps in different colours. The green ones shine quite well for their size. I use them to mark fixed points in the dark. Due to their small size, they are not suitable for lighting up the road.
-
I must admit I didn’t pay attention to their very small size. Nevertheless, the product is fine. Thanks to its small dimensions, it can be easily stored and always kept at hand.
-
When buying them, I didn't pay attention to the size and was quite surprised by how small they are. These are really very small so-called light sticks. I think they will be useful when staying overnight in one place.
-
Miniature glowing sticks. Really tiny. Not suitable for lighting a path, but they're useful for marking something in the dark. The packaging is small, so you can easily put them in an organiser – they may come in handy.
-
I would rather recommend the product as a curiosity, as its effectiveness is really minimal. For marking in the field or for slight illumination, it will work only on tent guy lines so they are visible at night, or on a line by a tarp, so you don’t trip in the dark.
