Glow products come in a wide variety of shapes & designs. The most common are glow sticks, glow necklaces, glow bracelets, bunny ears, glasses, cups, rings, earrings and many more, with glow necklaces the most popular. They are the new party gadgets these days. They also come in eight different colors including red, green, yellow, blue, pink, orange, purple and white. White color has been assumed by many to be the brightest glow stick, but yellow & green are actually the brightest. That’s why emergency and safety glow sticks typically come in the color of yellow and green.

If one has used glow sticks or glow necklaces before, he or she might have noticed that unlike other light emitting devices such as flash lights or light bulbs, glow sticks do not emit heat when the light is generated. It’s a special type of chemical reaction that is called a chemiluminescent reaction. According to Wikipedia, chemiluminescence means emission of light with limited amount of heat generated through a chemical reaction process.

Glow sticks products are typically offered online. Their prices are typically low compared with many other party products. Some online glow necklaces and sticks stores offer party packages with a combination of popular products, and some even provide the option of creating your own party packages. Glow sticks & glow necklaces are great for decoration. For example, you can attach glow necklaces to the edges of tables and stairs to add to the atmosphere. With connectors and bracelets, you can make glow balls.

Glow necklaces are typically 22 inch long. There are two kinds of width: 5mm and 6mm. 5mm ones are typically packed at 100 pieces per tube which while 6mm at 50 pieces per tube. A tube of (100) 5mm necklaces weigh about four and a half pounds while a tune of (50) 6mm ones weigh about three lbs. Glow necklaces come in three different color choices: single color, assorted colors and tri-colors. The assorted and tri-colors are the most popular. In terms of which one is brighter? They are actually pretty close. But to be more accurate, let us look at how tri-color glow necklaces are made. To keep the colors from mixing up, the three segments of colors on tri-color necklaces are separated by cottons, which do not glow. But in the case of assorted colors, which are solid color necklaces, there are no color separations. They are one continuous glow. So assorted color necklaces are slightly brighter than tri-colors.

The standard size glow bracelets are 8″ long by 5mm diameter. Not only are bracelets one of the most popular, they are also widely used on other novelty products such as glowing glasses, bunny ears, swizzle sticks, glowing balls, and glow hoop earrings. Glow bracelets are used as jewelry wears most of the time. You can also use your imagination to create your own geometric light up designs. In dark settings like night clubs, campgrounds etc, normal jewelries can not be seen well and what you need are glow in the dark jewelries like hoop earrings, rings, flashing hair clips, glow bracelets, etc. Glow necklaces and glow sticks are inexpensive toys that will give your party or event an edge in design and atmosphere. Add fun and lighted colors to your next party and event with glow necklaces and glow sticks!

Lately the rage against raves has died down mostly because its novelty has worn out. That doesn’t mean bad press doesn’t emerge against the all night dance parties. For the most part issues surrounding the drug use at these types of events has increased. However, some of you may remember the times when the ‘art’ or glowsticking was considered taboo. Glow sticks at raves were discouraged because of their association with drugs—kind of weird given the fact glow sticks are toys not drugs.

At this point you’re either following the article or wondering what I mean by glowsticking. Here is a quick summary. Glowsticking is basically dancing with glowsticks. You can use glow sticks to accent your dance moves by tying them to your wrists and waving them to and fro. Obviously in the dark this could look pretty neat.

Some people have also increased their skills by researching an ancient art called “Poi”. Poi extends past the original Māori culture where the performance technique was used. Nowadays poi spinning is done as a hobby, or to help your moves on the dance floor. Some basic glow stick poi moves include the: “Weave” and the “Butterfly”.

Of course, one of the practical reason why glowsticking was removed from raves and clubs was because some of the moves were dangerous. Not stabby dangerous, just dangerous in terms of hitting someone. Moves like orbitals, catches, and thumbsplits, require string manipulations which also require space. Space is hard to come by in cramped clubs so the chances of pegging someone in the head are much higher. Basically you can’t swing your toys in fast and erratic movements for fear of someone else losing an eye. Come to think of it, some glow sticks break easily and everyone gets splattered with glow dye (albeit harmless).

Nonetheless, the cool dance moves are still popular in many club/dance scenes around the world. In some cases, presently, glowsticking has fallen by the wayside as only particular ‘crowds’ adopt the once novel idea while others turn their nose up to it.

In the very least here is an essential tip: keep the strings shorter than your arms while stringing so you avoid hitting yourself in the nuts. Of course we should also think about hitting other people, but too long and you’ll be hitting yourself in the head. All in all, the act of glowsticking is not as popular as it once was but still remains a neat way to take control of the dancefloor for a moment or two. And no, it’s not directly related to drug use, but if you’ve been to a rave or club you probably already knew that.
