The design and light color are in line with the live regulations, so you can't go wrong by buying this.

High-intensity chemical light

Chemical lights are what we call glow sticks.

To use it, you can make it light up during the chorus of a song, or hold it in both hands and spin it around when the song is getting exciting.

Although they are fun to use, they are a double-edged sword that can lead to trouble as some geeks dislike high-intensity flashlights.
Recently, there are some live shows that are prohibited by regulations.

Also, they stop glowing after about 2-3 minutes, so you need to carry several with you, which is not cost-effective and is a pain to carry around.
