Glow sticks are a natural light source that operates without electricity; light emission is achieved by transforming some chemical energy into light energy. They are translucent plastic tubes containing isolated substances that, when combined, produce light through chemiluminescence .
Chemiluminescence is the term used to describe the phenomenon in which, during some chemical reactions, the energy released is emitted not only as heat or chemical energy , but also as light . (Source: Wikipedia)
The glow is activated by bending the stick, triggering a chemical reaction between its components. The potential uses of light sticks are almost limitless, even achieving results underwater.
It is important not to break the plastic container to prevent the chemicals from spilling; if spillage occurs, do not touch them and avoid accidental ingestion.
