2. Glow stick - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glow_stick

   The light cannot be turned off and can be used only once. The used tube is then thrown away. Glow sticks are often used for recreation, such as for events, camping, outdoor exploration, and concerts. Glow sticks are also used for light in military and emergency services applications. Industrial uses include marine, transportation, and mining.

3. Bis (2,4,5-trichloro-6- (pentyloxycarbonyl)phenyl)oxalate

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bis(2,4,5-trichloro-6...

   The reaction rate is pH dependent, and slightly alkaline conditions achieved by adding a weak base, e.g. sodium salicylate, will produce brighter light.Developed by American Cyanamid in the 1960s, the formulation containing CPPO, a fluorescer, and a glass capsule containing hydrogen peroxide and a base catalyst, all in dialkyl phthalate solvents, was marketed as Cyalume.

4. Diphenyl oxalate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diphenyl_oxalate

   Diphenyl oxalate (trademark name Cyalume) is a solid whose oxidation products are responsible for the chemiluminescence in a glowstick. This chemical is the double ester of phenol with oxalic acid. Upon reaction with hydrogen peroxide, 1,2-dioxetanedione is formed, along with release of the two phenols. [2]

7. Chemiluminescence - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemiluminescence

   Chemiluminescence kites, [17] emergency lighting, glow sticks [18] (party decorations). Combustion analysis: Certain free radical species (such as • CH and • OH) give off radiation at specific wavelengths. The heat release rate is calculated by measuring the amount of light radiated from a flame at those wavelengths. [19] Children's toys ...

8. Aviation obstruction lighting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviation_obstruction_lighting

   Aviation obstruction lighting is used to enhance the visibility of structures or fixed obstacles which may conflict with the safe navigation of aircraft. Obstruction lighting is commonly installed on towers, buildings, and even fences located in areas where aircraft may be operating at low altitudes.

9. Yehudi lights - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yehudi_lights

   Yehudi lights match brightness better by generating light. The use of Yehudi lights to camouflage aircraft by matching their luminance with the background sky was developed, in part, by the US Navy's Project Yehudi from 1943 onwards, following pioneering experiments in the Canadian diffused lighting camouflage project for ships early in the ...
