glowstick

Bendable party light

A glowstick is a small plastic tube containing chemicals that produce light when mixed, typically activated by bending the tube to break an internal glass vial.

Glowsticks glow for several hours and come in various colors, making them popular at concerts, raves, and Halloween.

They're also practical for emergency kits and nighttime activities since they require no batteries or external power source.

The kids waved glowsticks during the fireworks show.
