Cyalume SnapLight Industrial Grade Chemical Light Sticks, White, 6 Long, 8 Hour Duration (Pack of 10) Color: White, Model: 9-08006

I bought these light sticks to go in my bug out bag and vehicle. I bought ten red and ten white. I tried out one of the white ones last night. They're activated with the standard "snap and shake" like virtually all glow sticks. These take a little more muscle to break than a recreational glow stick. That's one thing I like, I feel confident carrying them in a bug out bag without fear of accidentally setting one off. The light produced by these allegedly white lights is actually extremely pale blue. The stick itself looks white, but the light it casts is obviously blue, similar to those blue halogen headlights or a poor quality LED flashlight. The light is fairly bright. In a dark room, I was able to easily read a typical paperback novel by its light. I recommend using the wrapper as a reflector to keep from exposing your eyes to the direct light. It makes the projected light appear brighter. These would make a sufficient emergency work light. If you had to read a map, cook a meal, or bandage a wound, these light sticks would be sufficient in a pinch. I would keep them around for power outages. The one I tested was still giving off a useful amount of light after 10 hours, so I'll accept as fact the 8 hour rating. Bottom line: These are the real deal. All preppers should have a box of these.

You won’t believe that 2 days after I got these we had a power outage. I knew if the kids woke up they would freak out because their nightlight was out so I put one in their room and one in the bathroom and they totally saved the night from panic attacks!! I will always have a supply of these on hand. They were a little brighter than your average night light and in the bathroom it was perfectly bright enough for our needs. Lasted all night.

Muy buenas luces, buen tamaño, no son lámparas, excelentes para emergencias, buen brillo, excelentes para iluminación en ambientes muy oscuros, particularmente las recomiendo, a mi me gustaron mucho

a good almost white light - more yellow. But worked great where I needed to see colors. brightness started to fade after 6 hours but still of use for a couple more hours.

Have pretty much always used these. They are fairly bright, last quite a long time and come in a ton of colours. Quantity for price is the only thing lacking. At only 10 glow sticks, it puts them a little on the pricey side. But you get what you pay for, and these are quality.
