There are four components to most light sticks. The first is the plastic outer casing which holds everything inside. The second is the fluid that you can see moving around in the light stick. The third is the glass tube which floats freely in the fluid. The fourth is the fluid contained inside the glass tube. To make a glow stick 'glow', you only need to bend the outer plastic casing to make the inner glass tube broken.

Wikked Vibes - Chemical glow in the dark products frequently...
Yes. All our chemical glow light sticks and products come in a sealed plastic case.

Please keep in mind that under normal use you will never come into contact with the fluid inside the glow light stick.

Extreme Glow - Frequently Asked Questions

Heat is also another factor on the brightness of the glow, basically a warm glow powder product will glow much brighter than a cold one.
