A chemical light, or the commonly known lightstick, is a piece of equipment worth carrying with you on survival trips, in the woods or in the mountains. Although an array of modern wireless lighting systems is available on the market, such a light source has several properties that make it indispensable in certain field situations.
Chemical illumination, which you can buy at Militaria.pl, is nothing more than a plastic tube containing two liquids, one of which is enclosed in a glass container. The chemicals in question are hydrogen peroxide and oxalic acid ester with fluorescent dye. When the tube is broken, the two liquids are mixed, causing a chemical reaction that produces light radiation. Depending on the size, the lightstick's glowing time can range from a few hours to several hours. Lightstick has many advantages, and despite the fact that we live in an age of modern technology and gadgets, the simplest solutions often work best. The Glow stick doesn't require battery power, so you don't have to worry about the battery suddenly running out in a crisis situation. It's also completely waterproof, so it won't stop working in high humidity or during a downpour, and you can use it even underwater. In a word, it is a light source that will work regardless of the circumstances and prevailing conditions. In addition, it is lightweight, handy, small in size, and, which is also very important, it is non-flammable and non-toxic, in a word - safe. You can use it as a light in your tent or car without any risk. Just remember that the chemical light does not have an on/off switch, so once activated, there is no way to stop its operation - you have to wait until it stops glowing.
The chemical light can be used for military applications, but will also be great for ASG games, for example. These luminous sticks can easily be placed, for example, next to a uniform sweatshirt, so they will serve perfectly as team markers or area markers. Thanks to them you can very easily, for example, mark which rooms have already been checked by placing a red or green lightstick in them. This type of lighting is also successfully used in speleology, for example, to check the depth of a cave that is yet to be explored. Chemical lighting also finds very practical use in rescue. Thanks to it, you will mark your position when you have an accident in the mountains or in the woods and greatly facilitate the search work of the rescue team, so it is worth having a few lightsticks in the basic equipment of your portable first aid kit or backpack. Military chemical lightsticks, which you will find in the Militaria.pl offer, come in a wide range of colors and in several sizes. Remember to always store them away from sunlight so as not to weaken their effect.
