Here is an example of how are glow necklaces used at memorials.  Something from Jessie is a memorial scholarship that was founded in 2000, in memory of Jessica Lee Troyer. Each year the organizers hold a fundraiser at Jessie’s home church, Parker Road Bible Church in Mokena, Illinois to raise funds to send Chicago inner-city students to Phantom Ranch Bible Camp in Mukwonago, Wisconsin – the same camp Jessie attended as a camper and worked as summer staff. This year the fundraising will be on Friday, June 1, 2012.  The organizers would like to sell at least 100 glow necklaces for the event this year. Green was Jessie’s favorite color and they have a lovely green theme at the memorial dinner.

The glow necklaces sticks are the most suitable size of glow necklaces to use for memorials.  They contain a lot more glow liquid than 4” ones and therefore are brighter.  For vigils that take place outdoor, you especially need bigger and brighter glow necklaces as they are also your light source for illumination. For vigils purpose, you would not want to have assorted colors of glow necklaces but stick to one color.  Yellow and green are both good choices and to get them bulk packed to avoid the mess from all the wrappings, unless you are selling them at fundraising and want individual wrapping for better presentation.

Glow night sports: with the invention of glow night sports balls, now you can play these fun sports games 24 hours a day.  Glow in the dark basketballs, volleyballs, kick balls, baseballs are popular among sports fans and are perfect for camping trips, summer outings, or just party games to play in the yard.

Glowing fashion accessories: glow jewelry can give a very sexy look too.  The glow drop earring and hoop earrings for example look just fantastic for night out. They are made of short glow sticks but are very bright and they swing in the darkness with body movement, adding so much fun and looking great. LED flashing necklaces, wristbands and rings offer even more designs and accent.

Light sticks and LED make your barware light up: light up party favors are more than just for fun as many serve a practical purpose. The light up barware, for example can replace ordinary glasses, trays, straws and stirrers.  They are great functional décor for your night event. The lights up ice cubes though, are not made of real ice to make your drink cool. They are for decorative purpose only but you can mix them with real ice.  LED barware flashes and is more upbeat while glow in the dark glasses and ice cube glow in steady soft light.

Safest light source: although glow sticks are not as bright as flashlights, they have a major advantage over all other light tools.  Glow stick uses chemical reaction to produce light, which produces no heat, flame or sparks. Compared with lanterns, which mostly use gas, there is no potential risk of accidentally starting fires. They are also water, wind and moisture proof which makes them very suitable for outdoor type applications.

Light sticks are very versatile as you can see from the various uses discussed above.  How to use them depends on the specific occasion.

Bonfire parties are a lot of fun and glow necklaces will add so much joy to the dancing and singing. The assorted colors ones bring all kinds of colors and there is something for everyone. If you do not like the pre-assorted ones, you can just get an assortment of solid color glow necklaces so everyone can be sure to get the color he wants. Glow products are great for camp site activities.  The reason why all kids love glow sticks is not only because of the light, but also because they can make other toys out of glow sticks.  For example, one can make a glowing crown with several glow necklaces formed into circles and some small three inch long glow sticks inserted along the circle.  And as many people may know, if you connect two bracelets together, you can make a small necklace.

Glow products are rich in varieties.  Kids love cool glow sticks games and can create glow balls with slim glow sticks.  While adults can enjoy their drinks with flashing cocktail glasses, a novelty in the light up party circuit.  The campers can wear glow necklaces, glow bracelets and LED flashing jewelries for fun and safety.  Parents can locate kids easily with the glow light they wear and do not need to worry about losing sight of them.  The colors can be used for differentiation and for fun team games like mini glow golf and glow baseball at the campground. Throughout the year, glow sticks and glow necklaces have brought tons of fun to the nights at campground and make everyone a happy camper!

The glow-in-the-dark balls are individually packed when you open the package, there should be 12 glow sticks of eight inches long and 5mm diameter as well as two ball connectors.  The glow sticks are slim and bendable and can be easily connected to the connectors to make a ball. The glow sticks for assembling the glow balls are the same as glow bracelets and they are assorted colors so your glow balls are multi-colors.  They are a lot of fun to toss.

Glow balls are not the same as glow golf balls.  As mentioned above, glow balls are made of glow bracelets sticks and connectors.  Glow golf balls are not party favors but for playing glow golf only.  They look similar to regular golf balls, but they can light up and the light comes from a mammoth glow stick inserted in the ball or LED lights installed inside.

Glow balls are fun play items and if you are looking for light up balls for decorations, there are LED mood lights in ball shape.  The size is about 2 inch diameters and the advantage with LED lights is that they can be reused and can change color.  The LED glow ball can be locked on a certain color like red, green, blue and there is a light up mode that the ball changes colors automatically.  Both the glow balls and some of the LED balls are water afloat.  And those are exciting for pool parties and they can be arranged on lawns and in gardens and they look fantastic at night.

LED glow balls can be put on the tables as centerpieces and the color-changing balls are unique and eye-catching. They will wow your guests and be the center of attention.

One of the safety tips from the local police department is to wear glow sticks or hold a flashlight for trick-or-treat for you to be seen better. Walking in the dark and cross the street is very dangerous even for adults.

Green, yellow and orange glow sticks are the brightest and the same for glow necklaces and glow bracelets.  So for Halloween safety purpose, these three colors are the best choices by police departments. The 6 inch 15mm glow sticks are the biggest and brightest, so if budgets allow, they are the primary choice.  4 inch glow sticks are not only shorter by 1/3 but also slimmer. Due to less chemical substance contained inside, the 4 inch glow sticks are not going to be as bright, but if you choose the bright colors, they would function well as safety light markers.  There are also the glow bracelets that are less expensive than the 4 inch glow sticks and they are quite bright and visible too at night. 

Glow sticks all come with two main kids of packaging, individual packaging and bulk packaging.  The individual packaging has very nice look and each stick is protected by either foil bag or color box, but if you buy a thousand individual packed glow sticks, you would generate one thousand wrapping as waste.  The bulk packed are not only less hassle but save a lot in shipping as they are packed tightly and consume much less space. But for bulk packed ones, you need to hand out a string for each glow stick, the glow sticks and strings usually are not tied together.

Glow sticks bulk orders can be placed online or on the phone with the wholesalers and it is always a good idea to place orders early so it allows you time to make sure they arrive before the event and you can snap a few to check if the quality is satisfactory.  Brightness and glowing time are the two main quality factors for glow sticks.

Although sequins and sportswear were brought to the contest, it’s not that surprising that glow in the dark party gadgets were also present. Glow sticks have long been used for many functions. In this case, the people who brought the glow items probably used them to cheer for their contestants, or simply used as fun toys at a dark setting stadium. With their light emitting capability, glow products are used at many occasion, mainly either as entertainment and safety lights. As to entertainments, sports games go through a ton of glow sticks, necklaces, etc each year. Concerts use a ton of imprinted glow bracelets to throw at the audience; 4″ glowsticks are also used. The most versatile has to be the standard 6″ 15 mm dia glow sticks, best value for the buck. Compared with the 4″ and 6″, the 6″ are not only 50% longer, but also 50% thicker therefore contains twice as much a glow juice in them, which makes a big difference on brightness intensity and glowing duration.

On the other hand, when it comes to most used glow products, it is the glow necklaces. They are just liked by everyone, boys and girls, men and women, young and old…They can also be used as headwear - glowing ribbons on the head, which looks cool as well.

Another new application for the glow in the dark sticks is night golf, where with the help of light up golf balls, people can play golf at night. Glow necklaces, bracelets, wristbands, sticks, badges have all been used to light up the course, tee-ff, green, hazards, sands, pond, flags, etc. The 19th hole party is also made fun by adding flashing barware glasses, ice cubes to add to the fun. With cooler temperature and less crowd and more flexible time, no wonder night golf is getting popular around the country.

As many may know, light sticks glow from the light generated from a chemical reaction that last for at least a few hours.  This makes glow sticks quite mysterious and fun than sticks that light up with batteries.  The glow from light sticks is so gentle that it will not be uncomforting to eyes even if you play with them for the whole night.  But flashing products you cannot look into them for too long a time. 

The key to have fun with glow light sticks is to get a lot and different varieties.  It is not that much fun if you just get one for each kid as to play ring toss games, draw names with light sticks, making glowing chains, you need a lot of glow sticks.  There are also glow flower and glow balls connectors that come with the glow bracelets packages sometimes or are sold as glow novelty products.  They use eight-inch glow bracelets sticks and create balls and flowers.

Light up cups such as flashing cola cups are easy to use and just add tons of fun to the picnic table instantly.  As they are not made of real glasses but some acrylic plastic material, they are light and portable, perfect to bring with for picnics and camping trips.  You can get them from online stores for under three dollars each. They not only come with batteries, but the batteries can be replaced.  So their economic life is extremely long. The only thing is that they cannot be put in dishwashers but have to be hand washed gently.

Normally the larger your order, the cheaper shipping cost is per unit.  UPS charges a minimum shipping so if you buy only a few glow sticks, you shipping cost can be very high for each glow stick.  So bulk quantity orders can enjoy much lower shipping cost on per stick basis.  As always, shipping by air is several times more expensive than shipping with ground transportation.  So if customers can plan ahead and give a week for shipping, they can save by paying very low cost for ground shipping.

In the market, on can find different quality grades of glow necklaces and their prices can usually indicate the difference.  Their names would be exactly the same so consumers need to read the descriptions especially the part about guaranteed glow duration carefully.   Higher quality glow necklaces are always recommended unless you just need them to light up for 30 minutes.  When shopping for glow products, quality cannot put taken lightly, as the poor quality products are a waste of money and will not get you happy guests.  On the other side, glow products of good quality are guaranteed to bring a lot of fun.  

They are typically bulk packed with 50 or 100 pieces in a tube for a couple reasons. The thick cardboard tubes provide excellent protection of the products. Compared with glowsticks, glow necklaces and bracelets are a lot easier to be activated because of their skinny profile. Bulk packed in thick cardboard tubes, they are protected from accidental activation during handling and transiting. Secondly, the bulk packaging also saves effort from opening and getting rid of individual bags if they were packed one piece per bag. Imaging a concert where 5,000 glow necklaces are give out, if they are packed 1 per bag instead of 50 per tube, the amount of time needed to distribute 5,000 will be unimaginable; after the time, the labor needed to remove trash will also be tremendous.

Unless the users have a theme color, usually they would like glow necklaces in assorted colors or tri-colors.   For assorted colors, in a tube of 50 pieces, you get five colors, 10 pieces each, a great deal with good varieties.  Tri-colors are good too, three in one! Although the Internet is filled with stores selling glow necklaces, features and quality vary and it makes sense to inquire about the quality and remaining life of the glow products.
