Chemlights

Chemical Light Sticks & Chemlights

Cyalume and field-grade chemlights for signaling, marking, and hands-free illumination. Waterproof, silent, batteryless, and visible from distance — the lighting and signaling tool that works when electronics fail.

Use cases

• Marking routes and waypoints at night
• Identifying vehicles and personnel in darkness
• Tent and shelter interior lighting (low-impact)
• Ground-to-air signaling for search-and-rescue
• Underwater diving and emergency signaling

Color significance

Green is the longest-burning and most visible in low light. Red preserves night vision and signals distress in many SAR contexts. Blue and orange handle specialty signaling roles. Stock multiple colors for layered visual communication.

Pair with the broader signaling kit

Chemlights work alongside other signaling and lighting gear. See Cyalume for premium options, Signal Tools for mirrors and whistles, and Marker Lights for electronic alternatives.

Silent. Waterproof. Visible. Works every time.
