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.

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.

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.
