They have also been used by scuba divers going night-diving, but
are now out of favor because the chemicals in them are so nasty
that you really don't want them in your landfills.

Plastic tubes filled with some kind of chemical. There is a smaller glass
tube inside the plastic tube filled with another chemical. When you flex
the plastic tube, and break the glass one, the two chemicals react and put
out light. You can get them in various colors, red, orange, green, blue and
possibly others. Commercial fisherman use the green ones at night, they're
often included in "survival kits" or road emergency kits. They're popular
with ravers, who move them around to make light trails as they dance.
I've seen them in the camping section of hardware stores for over $5!. You
can get them at rave/club supply places much cheaper than that. $.80 each,
in packages of 50 at http://glowstickfactory.com/6_inch_glowsticks.asp I'm
sure you can find other places with a websearch.
