Description (Specifications)

A Cold-Light Stick is a sealed plastic tube, usually 10cm long. The interior contains two chemicals separated by a plastic or thin glass membrane. When bent and shaken (mixing the chemicals) it starts a bioluminescence chemical reaction, producing a soft glow. The light cannot be turned off once started. Once the chemical reaction has run its course, the tube is discarded.

Cold-Light Sticks are usually supplied in multi-packs.

History & Background (Dossier)

• At TL–9 the chemicals can produce any color, including white and infrared. The glow persists for 5 hours.

TL:10-12:
