How to make glow stick


Everywhere you will find people that always want to do everything themselves. Glow sticks are not an exception. But before to roll up your sleeves it is worth to know why the heck glow sticks glow.

No matter what their form, glow sticks depend on a chemical reaction known as chemiluminesence to produce their light. This chemical reaction causes a release of energy. Electrons in the chemicals become excited. It makes them rise to a higher energy level. When the electrons drop back again to normal levels, they produce energy. This energy has a form of light.

Hydrogen peroxide is the usual chemical used to create this reaction in glow sticks. The mixture of phenyl oxalate ester and the fluorescent dye are chemicals that give glow sticks their color. In a small glass is contained hydrogen peroxide that floats within the mixture inside the plastic glow stick. You must bend a glow stick to make it start glowing. When the stick bends, the glass vial breaks. Then hydrogen peroxide is released, the chemical reaction begins and you get your desired glow.

The duration of your glow stick's glow depends upon the exact composition and quality of the chemicals inside. You may know that you can preserve your glow stick by sticking it in the fridge. Cooling a glow stick will slow down the chemical reaction for sure. The glow will not be as bright, but it will be spread out nevertheless over several hours. Conversely, you can also heat a light stick using warm water to speed up the chemical reaction. This way glow stick produces a much brighter light, but glow stick glows less cause the reaction will use up all of the available hydrogen peroxide much more quickly.

The glow light is made of two parts. To start chemical reaction it is needed to mix them. The chemical reaction makes them glow.

Look at chemical components for glow stick.

4 g sodium carbonate

0.2 g luminol

0.5 g ammonium carbonate

0.4 g copper sulfate pentahydrate

approx. 1 litre of distilled water.

50 ml of 3% hydrogen peroxide.

As you see it is a great entertainment for a chemist. But do you really want to plunge in this whirlpool instead of having fun from glow stick?

May be you invent the fantastic glow party instead of known by everybody another glow stick? I think it is much better to use your brains to impress your friends this way. Glow stick for your party you easily find in the net and it will be not expensive.

Take Berkley glow stick. It is not a simple glow stick. It is a glow rod. When everybody else had to use bells to be alerted when a fish hit you do not need a bell cause you could see the rod perfectly. Yes it is the rod you clearly see in the dark.

This rod is made form super-strong and durable E-Glass. Unlike most glow in the dark rods that only the tip glows on Berkley rod the entire rod (except the handle) glows in the dark.

Glow necklace


What else is great from glow products for any party or event? Glow necklace! Light up the party with glow necklace around your neck.

Common size of glow necklace is 22 inches. It works the same way as glow stick. You must bend your glow neck lace just enough to break inner glass ampoules. To get immediate maximum glow effect shake up glow necklace to mix chemicals. After that you push each end of the necklace into connector and you have it ready around your neck. Glow necklaces can be of one, two or three colors.

Quality glow necklaces have usual safety parameters. ”Glow juice” in glow necklaces is not toxic. Nevertheless it is not recommended to give them to children under 5 years old. Don’t break the tube. In any case there are chemicals within glow necklace. And these chemicals are definite danger to your eyes and clothes.

In many cases customers want to have a logo on glow necklaces. Using of some technologies to imprint logo damages 1-2% of glow necklaces. From the other side connectors have small place for logo. Browsing the net I stumbled on different type of connector that has larger flat area where can be imprinted corporate logo. You can find it in the net without problems.

Glow necklace has usual glow life between 4-12 hours. From that side its close competitor is light necklace operated by batteries. Light necklace can be switched off for further use. Glow necklaces can not be switched off. The only way to prolong their glow life is to place them in freezer. Chemical reaction will slow down cause of low temperature.

But as for me glow necklace is cooler.

China glow stick


It is unnecessary to talk a lot about China economy. You can hear about it every day in the news. China produces everything. Do China factories produce glow sticks? The answer is clear. Of course yes.

Let us browse the net and look at some China companies producing glow sticks and other glow products. All needed information can be found from their sites in the net.

First about prices. For glow sticks they are very competitive. For example one company offers wholesale price for glow sticks - USD 0.16 for quantity not less than 10 000pc. You can easily contact any company (as I did to check) for details and receive quick answer.

China companies offer to get samples of their glow sticks free when total value is under USD 5.00 and customer has FedEx or DHL account. For samples with value more than USD 5.00 they ask to pay for them and cover courier freight in advance. Some companies have warehouses in USA, Canada, Australia and UK and ask you to contact them for samples.

Almost all companies offer to print your logos on their glow products. It costs something like USD 0.01/pc for whole amount of USD 5000. For logo printing they ask to send them a logo example in JPEG or TIFF format.

As per payments terms they are a bit strange for online business. You are offered 3 options:

- Western Union for amount less than USD 1000

- Wire transfer for amount more than USD 1000

- L/C (letter of credit) for amount of USD 15000

China companies not accept credit cards due to rules of Bank of China.

Transportation described in details. It includes sea, air and track (for domestic delivery) transportation. Some companies can ship glow products from their warehouses abroad as was mentioned above.

There are no affiliate programs from China companies. You can become a distributor on following terms.

“If you could order our products for USD5000-USD10000 per month, you could be one of our distributor in your city or area; if you could order our products for USD 10000-USD30000 per month, you could be our sole distributor in your country. The exact amount depends on the area/country size.”

China glow sticks have different “shelf life” parameters. Some companies offer 1-2 years, some offer 2-4 years. Glow life has also range from 4-12 hours to 24 hours depending from producer and type of glow stick.

One offer of powder glow sticks attracts my attention:

1. The light could last for longer time, more than 30 hours

2. More luminance than traditional liquid glow sticks.

3. No weak. The traditional liquid light sticks glow weak by weak since it start-up. But the powder glow sticks will not. Even the 10th hours since it start-up, the powder glowsticks still offer same luminance as the first hour.

China companies’ representatives readily discuss details of the order such as connectors of glow bracelets and necklaces and so on.

Usual safety standards are also supported by China factories.

In summary one san say in glow stick industry China goes very confidently as in other economical spheres if not to take in to account strange payment terms.

Browse the net, read offers try to find out more about sellers. Try to know how long they are in the market? What customers’ responses they have? How they describe goods they sell?

Let us look close to problems you may have with low-quality cheap glow sticks.

- You may easily have couple of “duds” per tube/case while purchasing cheap glow sticks/necklaces. To check them all is a sort of “headache”.

- Quality products must glow from 4 to 12 hours when low-quality glow sticks may fade out within 20 minutes after activation.

- All glow sticks have so called “shelf life”. Quality products have (with proper storage) shelf life of 1-4 years. Inexpensive glow sticks and other glow products may have “shelf life” measured in months.

- It is a pity but there are dishonest suppliers in our world. And these suppliers can ship you expired glow sticks with month or less “shelf life”. When to have a discount you bought plenty of glow sticks and other glow goods you hardly use them at once. If your glow sticks are expired you will have no time to use them again or to sell to others. Instead of bright glow expired glow sticks produce a very dim light or may not activate at all.

- You wear glow necklace than all of a sudden notice that there is no clip-connector in it. 3 of 50 cheap glow necklaces may have no clip-connectors. It is not a great problem but nobody wants goods they can not use. You must decide if saved couple of bucks worth glow necklaces you must only throw out and unwanted “headache” instead of joy.

- Low-quality cheap multiple colors glowsticks may fade away in 1-2 hours producing dim orange-like color. Sorry but you will not have beautiful rainbow that you expected from glow stick of low-quality.

Of course all mentioned above is a strong foundation for claims to supplier. But do you need this crazy “headache” instead of joy?

One more rule. Never look for cheap glow sticks if you intend to use them in something serious. I mean something like diving or an attempt to attract attention of nice girls.

Be clever when you buy your glow sticks.

Glow stick white


When people think about glow stick they imagine all colors of the rainbow. That’s true. Suppliers can offer you glow sticks of almost whatever colors you want. What about white color? No problem of course.

What white color may be needed for?

Imagine you came to rave party in dark shirt/jersey decorated with some stripes of white color. White glow sticks give you strong and manly appearance. All girls will notice you. You are not like others. White glow sticks push you out of the crowd.

Moreover white glow stick is close to a real flashlight. It can light enough if you want to see something in the dark. Mini white glow stick takes almost no place in your pocket. It can appear in your hand in a moment. But you must remember that glow stick can not be switched off.

What else remind you white glow sticks? Yes white glow sticks remind candles. They can take place on your table or elsewhere in the room during romantic dinner. White glow sticks as candles may decorate your Christmas tree beautifully and safely. You can place them in any part of your Christmas tree. White glow sticks remind much real candles that people used to decorate Christmas tree in old times.

All it is for joy. But if you like “horrible joy”? Remember those dreadful chillers? Weak white light of white glow sticks under some decorations can make the same atmosphere where slaves of Lord of the Dark dwell. As for me I don’t like this sort of entertainment. But many people like it. If you are one of them than take your white glow sticks and your imagination and go ahead. You can achieve great results.

When you have night diving colors of glow sticks can have definite meaning and so white glow stick. From the other hand white glow stick can be good source of light.

I hope now you see that white glow sticks are not dull and uninteresting. All you need is to turn on your imagination.

One is in plastic tube the other is in glass vial. When they blend with each other we have chemical reaction that produces light.

Diving and glow stick


What’s common between diving and glow stick? Nothing if you dive under bright sun shining in warm nice day. But if you want to dive at night? In this case glow stick is a thing that isn’t useless to get with you.

From the very beginning you must realize that night diving is much harder and it is better to do it with an experienced instructor. Check batteries for your lighting units. Choose place that you know already well during daytime diving. Get with you food rich in calories and drinks to compensate energy.

Yes it is not a simple thing. But from the other hand when and where you’ll see all these nocturnal sea creatures?

Glow stick is not a lighting unit and can not substitute them to find your way at night under water. But it is useful to mark the place where you started your night journey from. For example if you dive from a boat or have other reference point.

You may try some horrible things. Turn off your light for a moment. Only glow sticks mark you and your companions. How will react nocturnal inhabitant of the sea on this faint light of glow sticks?

Some people like night diving saying that is unforgettable. Others say they did it last the time in their life. One is for sure. This joy is for experienced divers.
