Spent like 6 grand might seem a bit high but according to the students, events like this are not as common and they really had a blast that night. In a laser tag setting, glow in the dark items like glow necklaces, glow sticks, bracelets, glasses are perfect to add fun to the experience. They also hired DJ and rented inflatables to make it more fun. Glow items are also used at night time sports events. People can play football, volleyball wearing glow necklaces. For flying freesbie, 8" long glow sticks bracelets can be attached to the rim of freesbie to make it glow. And as green or yellow are the brightest, choose either of those two colors will achieve the best lighting result.

Other fun sports game to play at night that can be made a lot more fun with the addition of glowing things is flying radio controlled airplanes. Attaching bright glow sticks on these little planes will achieve amazing lighting result at night as the plan dashing in and out of the sky, leaving a streak of lights created by glow sticks. In this case, the fact that glow sticks are so light-weighted yet emitting a strong light are very suitable for the application. Because any other lighting devices such as flashing lights will prove to be too heavy to be used; other devices that require external power such as batteries also won't work. Only glow sticks can be used in application like this.

Glow sticks also possess the capability of not affected by most weather elements. Such as rain, wind, etc. The only thing can affect their performance is surrounding temperature. Because it's a basically a chemical reaction and with all chemical reactions, the higher the temp the more rapid and intense the reaction will be, thus making the sticks glow brighter.

Light Up Glasses Are Not Recommended For Washing In Dishwashers

People go to Vegas for a down time and party fun and who would mind having more flashing lights. The flashing light up glasses would be excellent for get-togethers in Vegas. As they are quite light, one can even carry the drink walking around in the strip. Unlike glow items, light up party item with batteries can change flashing speed. One thing to keep in mind, light up glasses are not recommended for washing in dishwashers.

The lights of different kinds of lighted glasses are designed specifically to match the type of occasions that they are used. For example, the light up martini glasses generally can stay in one of the seven solid colors or rotate through all the colors. While the beer mugs and cola cups do not stay in one color or one flashing speed, but flash quickly in multi-colors constantly. When beer mugs and cola cups are used, it is usually in casual and informal party and occasion like at home or in pub. So the quick exciting flashing is the only flashing speed for these two kinds of light up barware. While elegant stemware including martini, wine, champagne and margaritas have steady light and can stay in one single color.

In your outdoor party in the summer, enjoy an ice cold drink in the light up cola cup. These glasses will spice up any nighttime gathering. The cola cups are great for people of all ages as they serve beverage, especially great for kids and teens. All light up glasses operates with batteries that are installed at the bases so they are not dishwasher safe. You want to avoid them from moisture to extend their economic life. So simply wash them with hands gently after use and dry them with towel after using. The heat and moisture from dishwasher will cause damage to the LED products.

The volume of the light up plastic glasses varies. For example, cola cup volume is 10oz and the volume of beer mug is 16oz. All the cocktail light up glasses have similar volume of around 6-8oz. They come packed in either white boxes or color boxes. The save shipping cost, the stems of the stemware are normally broken from the glasses and users need to assemble them together.
