Infrared light sticks work like any other light sticks, except they emit an infrared glow rather than a color in the visible light spectrum. Because of this, they can only be seen with the aid of a night vision device. This makes them useful for marking trails and locations, as they emit a distinct infrared image that is easily visible through all generations of night vision equipment.
The 6-inch light stick is a portable and cost-effective source of light. Each light stick is a flexible plastic tube filled with two non-toxic chemical solutions, one held separately in a floating ampoule to prevent activation until needed. To activate it, simply bend the tube and shake it. This breaks the ampoule and mixes the chemicals. A bright light is released through chemiluminescence—a chemical reaction that converts energy into light without heat, flame, or sparks. No batteries or bulbs are required. These light sticks are suitable for a wide range of applications in combat, training, and outdoor activities.
