Chemical lighting

How it's working?

Chemical lights are disposable light sources that can run for 5 minutes up to 12 hours. The source of light in this case is the phenomenon of chemiluminescence, i.e. the emission of light (light waves), produced as a result of specific chemical reactions. Two unmixed joys are placed in one plastic container, with the exception that one of these liquids is in a glass vial, an inner container. For a combination of substance and a chemical reaction that is a source of light, the outer container should be crushed or bent so that the glass vial in the center breaks and releases the substance it contains. The reaction is safe, no heat or other energy is generated except for energy in the form of photons of light.

Which chemical light should I choose?
