Wholesale glow sticks are commonly associated with the rave dance scene

Glow sticks are small cylinders made from a soft, pliable plastic material filled with a solution of fluorescent dye and hydrogen peroxide, inside which is a glass vial filled with a chemical which is called phenyl oxalate ester. When the plastic cylinder is bent, the glass vial inside breaks, causing the hydrogen peroxide and the phenyl oxalate ester to combine. This chemical reaction then produces energy, which stimulates the electrons in the fluorescent dye, causing them to move faster, and resulting in light production. This process is known as chemilluminescence.
As well as being used as emergency lighting for boating and camping trips, wholesale Glow Sticks are commonly associated with the rave dance scene which began in the mid-to-late eighties, when people began taking them into night clubs. Their lurid colours and brightness fitted in well with the “acid house” scene of the time, and even since then glow sticks have been incorporated into a specific type of dance known as “glowsticking”, which is where the dancer juggles, throws and spins the glow sticks to create trails of light.Wholesale glowsticks are also often seen at music concerts.
Due to the flexibility of the plastic used in making wholesale Glowsticks, other products can be made from them, including glow Necklaces and glow Bracelets. Products such as glow necklaces and glow bracelets are often worn at dance events along with other fluorescent accessories such as luminous body and hair makeup and fluorescent clothes. A “black light party” is where guests decorate themselves with accessories such as these, and the room is similarly bedecked with glow sticks, fluorescent paint, string, netting and various other neon coloured items. When a UV or black light is shone on everything, it causes the brightly coloured objects to glow.
The Bang Face Weekender, a neo rave festival held in East Sussex on the 24th April 2009, saw the world record for largest ever glow stick ever built, while on the 16th December the following year, a group of fans met on K street in Sacramento, California in an attempt to set a new Guinness World Record for the longest ever chain of wholesale glow sticks, to promote the film TRON Legacy. The event ended with one thousand, four hundred and eighty five glow sticks connected at each end in a continuous line which snaked five blocks, from the DSP Ice Rink at 7th and K down to the 12th and K, where the 2,722ft long line ended at the Esquire IMAX Theatre. The line was then documented on video before being dismantled.
The left over glow sticks were then handed over to the Guinness Book of World Records and all participants were given special discount coupons for the screening of the film. Leslie Fitzpatrick of Black Rock City also found an interesting use for “dead” glow sticks when he attempted the world record for the most used glow sticks suspended from a hat on 31st August, 2008, numbering seventeen.
