The Cyalume ChemLight is a white military grade chemical light stick measuring6″ long, for providing instant high intensity 360 degree illumination, thatcan be seen up to a mile away for up to 30 minutes in optimal conditions. TheChemLight is waterproof, non-toxic, and non-flammable. To activate the lightstick, bend, snap and shake the tube. The light stick has a hook and gate top,for hanging or attaching the light. The ChemLight meets Defense LogisticsAgency (DLA) and NATO Maintenance and Supply Agency (NAMSA) specifications,and National/NATO Stock Numbers (NSN) are printed on each product. Each lightstick is individually foil-wrapped for protection from light and moisture, andhas up to a two-year shelf life from date of manufacture. The durable, waterproof, external body of the light stick is made from lowdensity polyethylene (LDPE), and is phthalate free for safety. The internalilluminating chemical substance is non-toxic and non-flammable, and thecomponents of the light stick are recyclable. The light stick floats in waterand works best between 40 to 80 degrees F (4 to 27 degrees C), and althoughthe light stick works at higher or lower temperatures, it is less effective incolder temperatures. All sticks are tested at a temperature of 72 degrees F (22 degrees C) todetermine the illumination duration. Each 10-degree C (50-degree F) increaseor decrease in temperature doubles or halves the reaction rate, and thereforethe brightness and duration. For example, the same light stick that emitsapproximately 30 lux (a unit that describes how much light is visible over asquare meter) at 15 minutes after activation at 24 degrees C (75 degrees F)will be half as bright but glow twice as long at 14 degrees C (57 degrees F).At 34 degrees C (93 degrees F), the same light stick would be twice as bright,but glow half as long. Storage at elevated temperatures (above 120 degrees For 49 degrees C) will decrease shelf life and start to soften the plastictube, and increase the risk of a leak. Exposure to cold temperatures will notaffect the light sticks if they are warmed above 40 degrees F (4.5 degrees C)before activation, unless they are frozen (which occurs at -15 to -20 degreesF, or -26 to -29 degrees C). Once light sticks have been frozen, they willstill produce some light, but performance will not be as reliable. Humidityand atmospheric conditions do not affect the light sticks. Light sticks are chemiluminescent substances in plastic tubes that providehours of illumination in a number of safety, industrial, and militaryapplications. Light sticks are waterproof, non-flammable, and non-sparking,which makes them useful in hazardous situations where sparks or flame couldcause an explosion. Duration is determined by the chemistry of theformulation. Brightness is affected by temperature: the warmer thetemperature, the brighter the light will appear. All sticks are tested at atemperature of 72 degrees F to determine the illumination duration. Viewingdistance can be affected by temperature, moisture, and other elements.Exposure to direct sunlight can reduce shelf life and effectiveness. Cyalume Technologies manufactures chemiluminescent products used for safety,industrial, and military applications. The company, founded in 1970 andheadquartered in West Springfield, MA, makes products under ChemLight andSnapLight brands. ChemLight products meet military specifications, and thecompany meets ISO 9001 standards. What’s in the Box? 10 individually foil-wrapped light sticks
