Cyalume Products: Made for the Military, Available for the Public

 

Cyalume Technologies is the originator of chemical lighting and the glow stick. We’ve been partnering with military forces around the world for over 40 years. Our goal is to provide the ultimate lighting solutions for the moments where failure just isn’t on option.

In any combat or emergency situation, having the proper tactical lighting can be the difference between life or death. Relying on battery powered flashlights during a mission or in the field can be a risk. Mechanical failure and battery corrosion are all but guaranteed in extreme conditions. With Cyalume Technologies, signaling, identifying and overall superior luminosity – on land, in extreme weather, or even underwater – is just a snap away.

We have an assortment of innovative products that are designed to work hand-in-hand with our military. We offer the brightest and highest quality Military rated ChemLights on the market that come in a variety of colors. These are standard issue for our US Military personnel. With a full 360 degrees of bright illumination for up to 12 hours, these Light Sticks are perfect for brightening a dark room, marking a safe zone for evacuation, rope end indicators, perimeter protection, and more. Tough enough to toss without worrying about cracks or leaks, Cyalume’s ChemLights are perfect for tactical situations where things may not always go according to plan, but where the job must always be done.

Sometimes though, it’s not all about illumination. The situation may call for a more covert operation; that’s where Cyalume’s Infrared ChemLights come in. Trusted by tactical operators around the globe and the standard equipment for the US Armed Forces, our Infrared ChemLights work just like our other Light Sticks, meaning activation requires a swift snap and shake. However, instead of producing a bright visible light, these infrared ChemLights emit an IR glow that can only be seen with the aid of night vision devices. The perfect option for night time missions, such as extraction and trail tagging, to maintain strategic dominance over your enemy.

For military personnel looking for an alternative lighting solution they can trust, or for everyday Americans trying to gain piece of mind, look no further than the company who started the industry. As with all of our ChemLights, these products meet the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and NATO Maintenance & Supply Agency (NAMSA) specifications and are non-toxic, non-flammable, and fully waterproof.
