Lightsticks in The Works

Post by hobo »

Compared a 38cm yellow lightstick, bought from The Works for 98p against a Cyalume 26cm lightstick which cost me £2.50 as part of an eBay batch. The Cyalume one was 0.5cm thicker at a width of almost 2cm and it was 2 or 3 times brighter than the Works lightstick. After 4 hours the Cyalume is still going strong whereas the Works is starting to fade.

Given that the 26cm Cyalumes are hard to come by and much more expensive, I'd still recommend The Works lightstick and will be buying a few more.

Cut 1 open pour in to a condom shake around then blow it up and you have a big shining globe makes a great marker we used to put the IR cyalume in them saved carrying the proper marker lights

The above mentioned lightstick from The Works was still giving out light 1 week later (ok it was VERY faint!). I bought 10 more!
