glow rings

Bendable light tubes

Glow rings are flexible plastic tubes filled with chemicals that produce light when bent to break an internal barrier, mixing the components.

They're bent into a circle and connected at the ends to form a ring, typically worn as bracelets or necklaces at concerts, parties, and nighttime events: The kids wore glow rings at the Fourth of July celebration.

The glow lasts several hours before fading.
