Bright after 12 hours, usable shine after 26 hours! See photo.

Wow. They far exceed the specs. See photos - still emitting a useful glow 26 hours after activation. photos after 26 hours; at 12 o'clock it was quite bright. At 26 o'clock there was enough light to see the pictures and read the small text. Of course it fades, but okay - 26 hours, and it is designed for 12? It's just insanely good. Important: The stick was kept at room temperature (about 75F) the whole time; There was NO artificial cooling (e.g. in a fridge/freezer) or temperature reduction…

Pros
  • Practical item
Cons
  • So far, so good

Terrible. Other brands (Lumistick) are better

As Lumistick is currently only available in bulk I bought a 10 pack instead. Based on the Revain reviews and other online sources, I assumed they would be at least as bright and durable as the Lumistick. The size of the room (dressing room) is approximately 6ft by 10ft. The walls of the room could hardly be seen. A candle lit in the room gave more light. I left the stick in the room and checked during the day. After only 6 hours it got noticeably dimmer, after about 12 hours I estimate it lost…

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Damaged

Not the best product of its kind in my test. See pictures.

I bought 20 of these sticks because I thought American Cyalume branded sticks would be better than lesser known Chinese brands. The expiration date on the packaging is July 24th. In the same order I also bought a pack of 12 Glow Mind Safety Light Sticks (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GTU597I/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) for comparison. They expire on July 23rd. I took photos of each package at the same time and checked them at 4, 8, 12 and 16 hours. At each stage…

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
