NEW: Tactical holder for up to 20 lightsticks (video)

CYALUME® ChemLight® (chemical light) for demanding tasks during all military missions and training, available in both the visible and infrared spectrum (some IR products subject to ITAR directive).

Basic information about the CYALUME® chemical light

Activation of the lightstick is achieved by slight bending both ends, this breaks the thin inner ampoule which contains one set of safe chemistry. A short shaking of contents will start the chemical reaction or chemiluminescence. The result is visible light for a specified period of time. It is a "cold light", the reaction does not generate any heat, spark, flame or smoke. Functionality and total safety is ensured in all conditions: wind, rain, underwater (used by divers with great success) and in areas where there is danger of explosion (ammunition depots, gas leaks, tunnels, petroleum fumes – car fleet, combat vehicles, aviation technique etc.) or fire. CAYLUME® ChemLight® lightsticks meets NATO military standards and specifications and each product bears the NSN (NATO Stock Number), duration and expiry date. Warranty period is 4 years (IR 3 years).
