New/OLD STOCK/UNUSED- Expired On 08/14. I have opened and tested 2 of them and all worked.They had stuff floating inside but were still really bright. DOM 08/10 EXPIRED 08/1447 Personnel Marker LightsPersonnel Marker Light (PML) green chemical light stick with a metal clip. Personnel Marker Light (PML) green chemical light stick with a metal clip for attaching to clothing, lifejackets, or personal flotation devices. Provides up to eight hours of 360-degree illumination. Can be seen up to a nautical mile away on land, and up to three miles by air. Chemiluminescent substance is non-toxic and plastic body is phthalate free for safety. Meets U.S. Coast Guard requirements for Approval Series number 161.012/2/1 The Cyalume Personnel Marker Light (PML) is a green chemical light stick, with a plastic base and a metal clip, that has been designed to attach to clothing, a lifejacket, or a personal flotation device (PFD), to provide instant 360-degree illumination that can be seen up to a nautical mile away in the water and up to three miles away by air, for up to 8 hours in optimal conditions. The PML is waterproof, non-toxic, and non-flammable. To activate a light stick, peel back the plastic covering, and bend, snap and shake the tube. Each light stick has up to a four-year shelf life from date of manufacture, and meets U.S. Coast Guard requirements for Approval Series number 161.012/2/1. The Cyalume Personnel Marker Light (PML) is a green chemical light stick, with a plastic base and a metal clip, that has been designed to attach to clothing, a lifejacket, or a personal flotation device (PFD), to provide instant 360-degree illumination that can be seen up to a nautical mile away in the water and up to three miles away by air, for up to 8 hours in optimal conditions.

Each light stick has up to a four-year shelf life from date of manufacture, and meets U.S. Coast Guard requirements for Approval Series number 161.012/2/1. The durable, waterproof, external body of the light stick is made from low density polyethylene (LDPE), and is phthalate free for safety. The internal illuminating chemical substance is non-toxic and non-flammable, and the components of the light stick are recyclable. The light stick floats in water and works best between 40 to 80 degrees F (4 to 27 degrees C), and although the light stick works at higher or lower temperatures, it is less effective in colder temperatures. All sticks are tested at a temperature of 72 degrees F (22 degrees C) to determine the illumination duration. Each 10-degree C (50-degree F) increase or decrease in temperature doubles or halves the reaction rate, and therefore the brightness and duration. For example, the same light stick that emits approximately 30 lux (a unit that describes how much light is visible over a square meter) at 15 minutes after activation at 24 degrees C (75 degrees F) will be half as bright but glow twice as long at 14 degrees C (57 degrees F). At 34 degrees C (93 degrees F), the same light stick would be twice as bright, but glow half as long. Storage at elevated temperatures (above 120 degrees F or 49 degrees C) will decrease shelf life and start to soften the plastic tube, and increase the risk of a leak. Exposure to cold temperatures will not affect the light sticks if they are warmed above 40 degrees F (4.5 degrees C) before activation, unless they are frozen (which occurs at -15 to -20 degrees F, or -26 to -29 degrees C). Once light sticks have been frozen, they will still produce some light, but performance will not be as reliable. Humidity and atmospheric conditions do not affect the light sticks. Light sticks are chemiluminescent substances in plastic tubes that provide hours of illumination in a number of safety, industrial, and military applications. Light sticks are waterproof, non-flammable, and non-sparking, which makes them useful in hazardous situations where sparks or flame could cause an explosion. Duration is determined by the chemistry of the formulation. Brightness is affected by temperature: the warmer the temperature, the brighter the light will appear. Viewing distance can be affected by temperature, moisture, and other elements. Exposure to direct sunlight can reduce shelf life and effectiveness. Buyer must be aware that expired lights may not meet US Coast Guard or FAA requirements. Once activated, emit up to eight hours of yellow/green light. One handed activation by squeezing lever, remove protective sleeve. Nonflammable light source, not affected by wind or rain. No batteries required.SHIPS FASTPICTURES SHOW ALLPet and Smoke Free StoreSHIPS USPS or FED EX SAME DAY IF PAID BY 11AMSORRY NO SHIPPING TO U.S. TERRITORIES, P.O. BOXES, APO/FPO ADDRESSES
