Giant glow tube thing?

[DJT75]

Hi

We went to a fireworks display a few weeks ago and my kids had the bog standard glow stick things. A lady behind me had this giant white glow tube thing and I thought that would be handy at home for trips to the shed in the dark or lighting the other end of my loft during marathon clear out sessions.

I didn't get around to asking her about it and now I can't find anything that even remotely looks like it online.

I would describe it as 18" long, 3" diameter tube with flat ends. It was white and bright, and had some sort of writing down the side of it. I assume it was some sort of reusable glow tube, the glow was even all over so I don't think you'd crack it to make it work (+ it's probably too chunky too anyway).

So does anyone know what it is or where I could find one?

Thanks

Ah! Could be, the close ups look similar but I'd say they were shorter & chunkier than those shown in the audience picture. But I guess that's pretty much what they are.

So not something I can just pick up individually, looks like the writing I saw was done corporate marketing text then.

Would be good to find a UK site though

Thanks!

Mind you, those are foam, I'm pretty sure what I saw was plastic. And they were definitely chunkier than those thinking about it

Have you thought of other methods to light your shed or loft?

I'd use one of the rechargeable flood lights.

I've used one of these for a few years now, absolutely brilliant.

I've got lights in my loft but just thought it handy for a variety of things. Lights in lofts create shadows when you're looking for something & holding a torch is a pain. And I wouldn't even let the spiders see me with a headlamp on so forget that

This thing was great for finding people too. Hundreds on people, pitch black, every kids had the same glow stick thing but this family always knew where they were as no-one had anything like this.

It's not any of those linked so far, and I'll give Ann Summers a thorough going over later

Someone has to say it: are you 100% sure you weren't abducted by an alien with a glowing "stick"?

Nope, it was just a white cylinder, nothing at either end

I am starting to think that now

This is definitely the nearest! Twice as long, twice the width, and not quite as toxic, but the shape is perfect
