White and Yellow Glow Sticks Used at 9/11 Remembering

On the day of the 10th anniversaries of 9/11, all kinds of remembering events are held across the nation to remember the tragedy and the heartbreak is still there when memories of the day is awaken.


People participate in quiet candle light vigils to remember those who lost their lives on that day from the attack. Luminary bags are marked with the names of the victims, one bag for each victim. At dusk, the bags are lighted with white or yellow glow sticks. The vigils are normally held in stadium, parks, etc. People stroll to view the bags and remember those who lost their lives in 9/11.


The reasons that glow sticks are used instead of candles are many folds. The most important reason is that glow sticks relieve the users from fire hazard and mess that candles cause. Even a three year old can handle glow sticks but little kids do not know how to handle with candles well. Also glow sticks are water and wind proof but candles are not. So rain or shine, glow sticks will work just the same and they are more reliable for this reason. The light up length of candles may vary and hard to tell, but the glowing duration of light sticks is standard.


6” inch long and 15mm diameter glow sticks are the standard size used in vigil. This type of sticks has bases that are thicker and can stand up. They also emit powerful light output. 4” glow sticks are mainly for kids and they are shorter and slimmer than the 6” jumbo sticks.


It is also extremely easy to purchase glow. Occasionally you can find glow sticks at much lower than average prices and like everything else, there is very likely to be a compromise of quality for very low prices. All chemical glow sticks products have a certain shelf life. Safety glow sticks can last four years, but party glow sticks usually have life of around two years. If you purchase them online, nowadays, couriers such as UPS deliver the orders they would provide a tracking number so you know exactly where the package is and estimated delivery time.


For both users and event organizers and more to the latter, glow sticks are user-friendly and reliable. Since they are one-off products, they come in very low rates. This feature also makes them great choice for events with large numbers of participants.
