Glow stick necklaces are not much different from ordinary glow sticks, except that they are usually longer. They are also activated by bending, which breaks the inner vial and produces the chemical reaction of its two main components. They keep on glowing as long as the chemical reaction produces enough energy. Since glow stick necklaces give off light that can come in varying colors, they can be used in different occasions.
Uses
Children are particularly fond of wearing glow stick necklaces during Halloween, while kids and adults alike can use them while camping in remote places. Due to their attractive glow, glow stick necklaces can also be worn as an accessory as you head out to carnivals, bars, concerts, and other late night events. Since it is inexpensive, you can also use it during power outages and have fun despite having no electricity.
Options
You get a lot of options when using glow stick necklaces. From their colors alone, it may be quite challenging to choose among their neon hues. On the average, the glow of these sticks can last up to 4 hours, but you can prolong this light. For instance, if you only used a necklace for an hour, you can put it in the freezer to slow down the chemical reaction inside it. On the other hand, you can make a glow stick necklace glow brighter and last shorter by applying heat to it.
Options are also available on the very type of necklace to get. Usually, you’ll get the long 22-inch type to be converted to a ring through a plastic tube. For a more interesting necklace, you can connect several shorter glow sticks of alternating or entirely different colors. The long ones are about a dollar each, but you may need to buy ten or a dozen of them when ordering online.
