The Glowhouse Premium Ultra Bright 6 inch Glow Sticks Mega Party Pack of 25 (Mixed) - Individually Wrapped with Lanyards UK Brand

I bought these for my beaver scout group to wear while watching a firework display. I was sent a great mixture of colours and I used all 25 on the night. The beavers either used them as lanyards around their neck (using the plastic string which was provided) or they hooked them onto their jacket zips. They ALL activated immediately as soon as they were cracked and the colours were AMAZINGLY bright I could easily see where my beavers were in the dark. 5 hours later I took this picture of my blue one and it was still really bright. I would definitely buy again as i used to buy the bracelet/necklace ones which had fiddly connectors which invariably got lost and not half as bright. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

These glow sticks are fantastic. They are very chunky and give off a great amount of light for up to 12 hours. We have used them for lots of things so far such as camping, festivals and whilst walking at night to a local fireworks exhibition. My son loves to have one of these in the bath, they are very thick and I have no concerns about them leaking (although always best to keep an eye on them just incase). They really are great value, they will last us a long time and are very handy in case of emergency blackouts!

**SCROLL DOWN FOR THE UPDATE** First things first. This is a very early review based on my first impressions of this product, and will be updated over the next couple of days. So, the one thing about this product that I wanted to know and couldn't see detailed anywhere, was how 50 glow sticks would be divided into relatively even quantities of each colour. Short answer is, they are not. Inside the box is two bags of 25 individually wrapped sticks. They make up the following total quantities: 8x Pink 8x Green 8x Yellow 6x White 6x Blue 4x Purple 4x Red 4x Orange 2x Aqua (light blue) This gives you 50 sticks in total. Why they have been divided into such quantities I have no idea, unless they reflect popularity between different colours, with pink, green and yellow being most popular, and aqua being the least popular. Still a full selection in any case, and good quantities of each "useful" colour. Now the important bit: Performance. I did read a number of reviews saying these sticks were not bright at all and that they only glowed for a few hours. The important thing to remember here is that these glow sticks are "entertainment grade" sticks. Not industrial/military/emergency service grade. They are also not marketed as a "high intensity" product. They are primarily for entertainment and leisure purposes. With this in mind, let's look at performance so far. Choosing one of the larger quantities as my test subject, I activated a green one as soon as it got dark this evening. I chose green as this is generally the brightest colour when it comes to glow sticks. As with any glow stick, the point of activation will be the time when the glow is most intense, and these ones are no different. Over the course of the next 5 - 10 minutes, the intensity is reduced slightly. Only slightly though. This is where the intensity level seems to sit. Not sure for how long yet though. It's only been glowing for 4 hours so far, but the light output has been consistent during this time. In a pitch black room, the light output is certainly enough to find your way around. Ideal if you experience a power cut in the middle of the night, and far safer than candles or lanterns. Put it on your desk, and you'll have plenty of light to read and write by. It's worth noting that yellow is the best glow stick for reading, due to the science of wavelengths! Each glow stick is sealed in a foil packet. While this might seem wasteful, the wrapper actually protects the fluid in the glow stick from UV rays and strong light, which would reduce the performance of the glow stick before it's even been activated. Each glow stick also has a stretchy lanyard wrapped around it. Great for hanging them up in a room or wearing them around your neck at a party. The lanyard is easily removed if not required. Lastly, the overall quality of the glow stick is very good. They contain non-toxic fluids, and the stick itself is made from a high quality plastic which, while flexible enough to be easily activated, will be more than capable of taking some punishment. Obviously this should be kept to a minimum though! I bought these so I could keep some tucked away for emergencies, and keep a few in the car for the same reason. While they might not beat the power of a torch for lighting up a dark country road, they will be more than useful as safety markers. ***UPDATE*** So since my initial review a couple of days ago, i've had more time to test the product, and i've deducted a star from my original rating. The reason for this is that clearly some colours glow longer than others. That in itself isn't a problem, but when I activated a pink one for example, it was totally dead just 6 hours later, so the 5th star was deducted because this glow stick didn't glow for anywhere near the claimed 12 hours. The pink was brightest at the point of activation, but dimmed quite a bit within a few minutes, then became noticeably dimmer over a few hours. On the other hand, I activated a green glow stick (the one on which my original review was based) and it's still glowing 48 hours later! There's not really much in the way of "usable" light from it now, but it's still glowing brighter than it should be after two days, and I can just about use it to read with in a pitch black room. As I said originally, if you're considering buying these for a party or firework night, then you won't be disappointed. Clearly not all the colours will glow for a minimum of 12 hours, but you will still get several hours out of them. One final point: This box of 50 sticks is shown on Amazon with a RRP of £39.99, but a "sale" price of just £23.99. If you look at the supplier's website directly, you will see you can get a box of 50 mixed colour 6 inch glow sticks for £23.50 anyway, so don't be duped by the pricing claims. All in all, i'm still pleased with this product, and I would certainly buy them again!

These are far and away the best quality glow sticks I've brought off here to date. They all worked really well glpwomg bright for many hours which were perfect nightlights for my daughters when we went camping. I've brought other glows ticks on here before and they were pathetic, barely emitting any light and then dying out way before they were meant to. These bad boys however did all that you'd expect and they did it well. I will definitely be buying these again! Without a shadow of a doubt. If you're looking for decent glows ticks that'll actually glow (novel eh!) then pick these!

Always good to take to a rave or if having a children's party

These lasted a good long time, were really easy to use, and had a good selection of colours. My daughter took these on her D of E weekend and they were a real hit with all the children. Will definitely buy again. These were also very good value for money as a lot in the bag.

Firstly the price is unquestionable, its a good deal for the product. The glow sticks are fantastic when first broken bright vivid colours that let off an above average light. However, although stated 12 hour glow they probably last an hour at their peak and thereafter drastically reduce brightness and are near impossible to see after only approximately 4 hours. This is the case with most colours but red seems to make it to near the 6hour mark before giving up. All in all a decent glow stick pack for the price but its always disappointing when a product doesn't live up to its advertised potential.

I AWARD 5 STARS on behalf of my autistic, epileptic 2 n half year old none speaking girl who has had many a problem sleeping at night she as don't like the light being turned on suddenly and is not that keen on total darkness so we got these after haveing used many other brands for use at night the plan was crack one when she goes to bed and use that to find the dummy, put her sheet back on, find teddy etc however she sleeps almost all night every night with one in her hand and when she does loose the dummy she can find it with her stick, i know most will think they not good parent's give'in her them in bed and you may be right however i do remove the string that they come with and cut the hook of them have a good look for any leaks as some of the other brands are weak and split to easy however these are very well made, id recomend for any age that don't put hings in there mouth but remove the string unless older and they use'in as a neckalace. i'm about to place my order for another box (againe).

Ottimi per una festa, un'escursione o in campeggio

Ich kaufe diese "Premium-Leuchtstäbe" (Tauchknicklichter) nicht zum ersten Mal, weil sie mich wirklich überzeugen. Für unsere Nachtwanderung ein absolutes Must-have und ich möchte sie wirklich nicht missen. Sie haben eine unglaubliche Leutkraft und halten teilweise sogar länger, als angegeben. Werde sie immer wieder kaufen. Tolles Produkt und hält was es verspricht. Mit anderen Worten, es tut was es soll. Klare Kaufempfehlung.
