Review on Stay Safe Anytime With Cyalume Yellow Emergency Glow Sticks - 10-Pack Of 6” SnapLight Survival Glow Sticks For Emergency And Hiking by Ben Rodriguez

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.
