Top of the line chem-sticks,
These are top of the line light sticks. I used cases of the military version in the Army and these are the same thing made by the same company just the civilian version.
The civilian version (SnapLight) is better then the military version (ChemLight) as the civilian version has all the latest composition and chemistry updates allowing for more brightness and shelf life longevity (5 year as compared to 4 for the ChemLights). This is because ChemLights are required to meet a DoD standard that locks them in to an older chemistry configuration.
I keep them in my camping and emergency kits.

|Great for emergencies or camping,
So I wanted some decent snap lights for my car, camper, and home. You know the drill, the power goes out and the flashlight batteries are dead because you forgot to check them. No problem, you’ve got SnapLight by Cyalume. These put off a nice yellow light the is plenty to illuminate a stairway or small room. Two or three can illuminate a big one enough to see obsticles and people. So why by Cymalume rather than the “cheaper” brands. First off, they aren’t that much cheaper. Seriously, $3??? You’ll waste that at the snack/soda machine today at work. Next the brightness and life. As I said, I personally opted for yellow. It’s a pretty well known fact that humans see yellow light brighter than any other color, so it just makes good sense. Next these are brighter than the cheapies you get your kids at the fair. And finally, although they steadily loose their brightness as the chemical reaction rages on, they put off a stong ammount of light for about 3 hours and good light for about 7. By 11 their pretty dim. The shelf life on them is five years so it’s a cheap investment should you not need them, but trust me, you will…

|Great in power outages, safe for kids,
I always keep Cyalume snap light sticks in the house for power outages and sleepovers. We’ve had every color, but we like these yellow ones the best. The white ones are our second choice, but their light doesn’t last as long. The yellow ones last up to 12 hours and we haven’t had any “duds” in the pack. We bought some of the cheap ones at Walmart once, and half of them had either been snapped at the store, or they were duds. Since you won’t know if they work until you snap them yourselves, it pays to avoid buying them from stores where people can handle them.
These snap sticks help take the scary out of the dark – I give them to our kids when they have friends sleeping over, or when they sleep out in the yard in the tent, to save on flashlight batteries.
Because they’re sealed and basically unbreakable, and they don’t get hot, they are safe for kids to use unsupervised. From a power outage standpoint, they’re safer than a candle or a lantern for getting around a dark house. We give one to each kid when the power is out, and it helps them feel secure and able to sleep in their own beds. An added bonus is the hole at the end, which allows the user to attach a lanyard and free up their hands.
