after you take them out of the freezer, pop them in the microwave for a few seconds and they'll glow alot brighter

if your freezer is cold enuf it works, u have to cool it down anuf to prevent the rection within the stick or else the freezer trick does not works, also on the whol, green sticks last 8 hours at full brightness, and several days still glowing stighly (if sumwhat pointlessly) whereas all the other colors are at 0 power afetr 8 hours, with about 4 hours of full brightness, apart from yellow, which is halfway between green and other colours.

The reason that this makes them last longer, is that the chemicals inside of the glowstick are slowed down, thus slowing down the friction which causes the glowing of the stick.. putting them in the microwave makes them glow more just because the opposite is happening..

i think...

it will still work, the glowstick just wont last as long since it will still be glowing a little..

the low temperature slows down the reaction rate of the chemicals in the glowstick. in other words, it kinda "pauses" the glowing. just like drinkyourmilk said.

hey, i think i'd have much more fun while dancing with a glostick on my neck or something and i wouldn't be a candy raver.

Originally posted by Bloodflower yeah i am pretty new TA so tell me a bit about those glowsticks, how do they function? are there any different kinds of glowsticks?

I love this thread, it's like Luke Skywalker being trained by Yoda or Obewan to be a Jeti Knight. Bloodflower you must use the force, mirokliteans are a living organism that give glowsticks their light. Try not, do!

Each TA must create his own light saber urrrr I mean glowstick. Btw, I prefer fill my glow sticks with radioactive waste. The best part is they will glow for about a 1,000 years and you don't even need to put them in the freezer! Once you have become TA Knight you can step up to road flares, they're totally radical, although I've accidentally set some people on fire. Of course this is a small price to pay for the salvation of the human race.

May the force be with you.

Bring back 1994 NYC clubbing nights, cus the sh*t today is filled with junk parties and DJs that play sh*t House.....Zabiela, Sander, or Howells and all the rest suck and couldnt throw a night like it was in the early 90s in NYC!!!...Screw Twilo - give me Limelight circa 1993!!!

glowsticks are for the candy kids.. photons are much better.

glow sticks can make for a funny toy in the bedroom aswell!!
turn out the lights and stick it halfway in your womans cha-cha and wollah!! quite a sight, add some thumpin trance and who could ask for a better light show!

I rescently started stringing...is it called that? Attach each glowstick to the end of a rope and spin them around...learned some neat trix by my brother....it so fucking fun...i practise everyday now outside offcourse....

About the amount of time they glow...
In my local store i can choose between 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 8 hours and 12 hours. If you choose 5 minutes it glows alot more and intense...
