50 Uses for Glow Sticks, Glow Rings, and Glow Necklaces
50 Uses for glow sticks, glow rings, glow necklaces, and anything that glows and is in a tubular form. Premier Glow has compiled a fun and practical list of methods and uses for our favorite glow lighting devices. Be sure to post back your ideas if you think we've missed a few.
1. Glow sticks can be used in emergency situations as a light source when the power fails.
2. Got a pool? Underwater lights for the pool; especially snazzy for pool parties.
3. Underwater navigation for diving.
4. Temporary sources of camp fire amusement.
5. If you’re really bored you can burn the glowsticks in the campfire. Not because it’s good for the environment, but because you get a brief and almost surreal glow from the burning chemicals.
6. The military or paramilitary outfits use solid glow sticks for temporary lighting.
7. To mark out the fairway in a night golf course. While you’re at it, mark the green, the cup, the tee, etc. Check more details on our night golf supplies.
8. As cool light bracelets for evening parties.
9. For goodie bags at kids parties.
10. Glow necklaces can be used to identify teams in night time sports games. If you're really clever, forget the teams, just illuminate the ball.

I just stumbled upon this site. Very nice list, except for many of the uses are far too similar. 3 and 36 are the exact same. Next time, don't try so hard to get to 50, this would have been far more enjoyable had their not been so many similar or duplicate uses.
