Mini glow sticks are just as popular as their larger counterparts, only smaller! They can clipped to a hat or shirt, used when rave dancing, or even inserted into the mouth for an interesting effect (and also a choking hazard). Although they only run about 1.5 inches in length, mini glow sticks come in a variety of colors and can last just as long as larger glow sticks.

Mini glow sticks are an excellent source of alternative lighting for smaller spaces - reading a book in a car, for example. They are also convenient for underwater use, and all commercial glow sticks are non-toxic and self-activating. By bending the stick, the user can mix two chemicals within the plastic case and trigger the illuminating effect.

Although all glow sticks are relatively inexpensive, mini glow sticks are a good choice for large purchases. For around $5, you can purchase 25 mini glow sticks online. Mini glow stick mouth holders can also be purchased for about one dollar each to reduce the possibility of choking. Naturally, mini glow sticks should not be given to child as they pose a large choking hazard.

They can be used at carnivals, concerts, rodeos, pool parties, birthday parties, dances, reunions, at the beach, or just about anywhere else. Some clubs and bars even use them as identification bands for re-admission. Regardless of the use, mini glow sticks are a fun and cheap way to use alternative lighting.
