The Traditional Glow Stick: Limitations You Should Know
Traditionally glow stick products work by triggering a chemical reaction when you break them, the chemicals mix and react causing a bright light to be emitted. Once the chemical reaction is over, the glow fades and the glow sticks are then discarded. While the do provide very bright light initially, they do come with several limitations and issues.
- One-time Use: Traditional Glow Sticks are designed to be used once and then thrown away, there is no way to re-use them, they can not be recharged or refilled.
- Environmental Impact: Single use glow in the dark products, such as Glow Sticks are made of plastic and once discarded, they can take many hundreds of years to decompose. In the meantime, they find their way into the ocean, into the food we eat and the water we drink. In the last 13 years more than 4 billion tonnes of plastic waste has been created.
- Limited Shelf Life: Traditional Glow Sticks have a limited life span and expiration dates, once expired then they are no longer able to function effectively.
- Risk of Leaks or Breakage: When damaged to cracked, tradition glow sitcks can leak chemicals into the environment or onto person, this can could be harmful to the environment and cause minor skin irritation.

Reusable and Durable
While tradition glow products are designed to be used once and then thrown away, UVPAQLite’s products are all designed to be used time and time again. The crystals used in these products never degrade, meaning that they continue to absorb light, recharge very quickly and glow for many hours – again and again. This makes them ideal for repeated use and represents and incredible savings in environmental impact and cost to the end user. It also makes them ideal for use in emergency situations.
In addition to being reusable, these glow sticks are encased in a durable resin that makes them resistant to breakage, ensuring they can withstand rough environments. Whether you’re in the wilderness, underwater, or in high-impact situations, UVPAQLite glow sticks won’t let you down.
Environmentally Friendly

If not used before they expire, they become worthless and end up being discarded without even having been activated. UVPAQLite’s glow products do not have this problem. The crystals used in the UVPAQLite never wear out, and they remain functional indefinitely. You can rest assured that they will continue to work whenever you need them.
