A glow stick is a single-use, translucent plastic tube containing isolated substances that, when combined, make light through chemiluminescence, so does not require an electrical power source. Glow sticks are often used for recreation, but may also be relied upon for light during military, police, fire, or EMS operations.

Far, through their rosy depths, dost thou pursue
Thy solitary way!”
