Glow — Chemical Light Sticks, Tritium, and Lume Markers

Sometimes you need light without batteries, without fire, and without giving away your position. SRO's Glow collection covers chemical light sticks (Cyalume), tritium-illuminated watches and markers (Maratac), and lume-based signal devices that work for 12+ hours on a chemical reaction or 25+ years on tritium decay.

Three glow technologies

Chemical light sticks (Cyalume) — single-use, ISO/FDA/SIGMA/GMP certified, used by military and EMS worldwide. Tritium markers (Maratac watches, weapon-sight markers) — 25-year half-life, self-powered. Glow-in-the-dark phosphors — short-duration, rechargeable from any light source. See Signal Tools for related illumination.

Use cases

Trail marking on night moves. Vehicle marking during recovery. Tent and gear identification at camp. Emergency signaling. Hostage rescue and breach work. Each use case calls for a different glow technology — and most serious kits carry at least chemical light sticks.

Pair with Flashlights, Camp Lighting, and Mission Tools.

Cyalume light sticks weigh almost nothing and last 12+ hours after activation. Stash a couple in every kit — they're the cheapest insurance you'll buy.
