Glowsticks
 
Where do you guys get your glowsticks from?

I'm thinking of buying a combo-box online of both long lasters and high output sticks...

Just want to hear about potential retailers.

Dollar store battery operated and three different color LED's and the also have different flash times. 1 Stick does the job of about 6 different ones

coach May 27th, 2010 13:26

marks work warehouse has electric ones for $5 - 3 modes: glowstick on, glowstick flash, white led flashlight on

dollarama has chem sticks 2 for $1 depending on the location you might get 5-6" long ones or the 7-8" long ones that are skinnier

canadian tire also has chem sticks but are more expensive.

to signal a casualty or dead-man-walking in the dark.

The Chad May 27th, 2010 15:06

I can understand a flare alerting people, because...well....its a flare. But honestly, unless your right next to the mechanism, how the hell are you going to use this effectively. I just dont see it being useful unless your using IR chems and you and/or your team is using NVGs, and if your possibly in a more urban enviroment.

Glowstick activated? Then you're dead, the grenade exploded.

Touche....

If you've got cash to spend... Get Blackhawk! ones... They're amazing quality.

DarkAngel May 28th, 2010 23:20

I can only find blackhawk chem sticks, not electric.

Bleh I wish Jeroon had the red ones. Ive been meaning to replace mine.

Ideally id like to get a set of 3-4 diff colours, blue green red and if possible, IR.

13Fido13 May 28th, 2010 23:24

Jeroon has them in stock at the store. I was just there a few days ago.

You can always get the glo-toob. It's battery operated, many colours available.

DarkAngel May 28th, 2010 23:26

Ooooooooooh *browses*

13Fido13 May 28th, 2010 23:30

They are gorgeous devices, but they are larger around then a glowstick. Brighter through....

DarkAngel May 28th, 2010 23:30

Im sold on em.

But I cant buy it from their site? Nor does it show prices.

Lerch May 28th, 2010 23:59

Funny this thread pops up, I found a couple packs of IR chemlights at work when I was browsing empty lockers...
