Cyalume Safety Light

Product overview

The Cyalume Safety Light is a battery-free chemiluminescent light stick for tactical, military surplus, and police use. It is ideal for soldiers, first responders, divers, and outdoor professionals who need reliable, low-profile illumination.

Definition: a 15 cm single-use chemiluminescent light stick that produces continuous light for several hours without batteries. The light is non-toxic, waterproof, and activates by bending the stick to start the chemical reaction.

Main features

Simple, rugged design with several color and runtime options suited to duty, tactical, and emergency tasks.

• Battery-free chemiluminescence: non-toxic light without external power.
• Length: about 15 cm (lightweight, easy to carry).
• Runtime: 8–12 hours depending on color (see color list below).
• 360° hook: built-in hook for hanging and full-area visibility.
• Waterproof: designed to resist water for surface and some underwater use.
• Single-use: designed for one activation and continuous light during its rated time.
• Color options: green, white, blue, red, yellow (see runtimes below).

How to use / When it’s useful

Quick answer: bend the stick to activate the chemiluminescent reaction, then hang, attach, or hold it for steady light. It is ready immediately after activation and requires no batteries or maintenance.

In most cases, the Cyalume Safety Light is used for marking positions, interior or exterior illumination, dive signals, and emergency kits. Choose green or red/yellow for longer visibility (up to 12 hours), or white/blue for shorter but bright illumination (about 8 hours).

Care and notes

Keep the product simple and safe by storing it unopened and using it as intended; follow these practical notes before and after activation.

• Do not cut, puncture, or open the stick; it is single-use and contains the sealed chemiluminescent solution.
• Safe for wet use and suitable for surface and many underwater applications; avoid deep submersion under extreme pressure.
• Dispose of the used stick according to local waste rules; do not attempt to recharge or relight.
• If unopened, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve performance.
