BCB Light Sticks – Reliable, Instant Illumination for Emergency and Survival Use

The BCB Light Sticks are a dependable and safe source of light designed for use in emergency, survival, and low-visibility situations. Whether at sea, in lifeboats, during power outages, or in search and rescue missions, these single-use chemical light sources provide instant illumination without the need for batteries, sparks, or flames.

Each light stick is hermetically sealed and waterproof, making it ideal for use in marine environments, including liferafts, lifeboats, and personal survival kits. Upon activation—by simply bending the stick until the internal vial snaps—the stick emits a bright, steady glow that lasts up to 12 hours, depending on the version selected.

Engineered for high visibility in dark or underwater conditions, BCB Light Sticks are commonly used for signaling, marking positions, identifying crew members, or lighting confined spaces such as shelters or raft interiors. Their soft, ambient glow reduces the risk of disorienting glare or fire hazard, which is critical in enclosed or oxygen-deprived environments.

These light sticks are non-toxic, non-flammable, and maintenance-free, offering a safe alternative to candles, torches, or battery-operated flashlights. Each unit is individually packaged in foil to extend shelf life and protect against moisture and damage. Their compact and lightweight design ensures they can be easily stored in grab bags, first aid kits, emergency rations, or attached to life jackets or personal gear.

Available in various colors—such as green, red, or blue—BCB Light Sticks also serve as coded signal tools in rescue situations. For example, green can indicate “safe to proceed,” while red may signal “stop” or “danger.” They can be seen from long distances, even in poor weather or sea conditions, making them especially useful for search-and-rescue teams.

Manufactured by BCB International, a trusted name in survival equipment for over 160 years, these light sticks are tested and approved for use by military forces, coast guards, humanitarian missions, and offshore industries. Their reliability and simplicity make them a staple of SOLAS-compliant survival gear and maritime emergency packs worldwide.

In addition to marine and military applications, these light sticks are also ideal for hikers, campers, spelunkers, and emergency preppers. Their resilience and ease of use make them an essential part of any safety protocol where visibility can be compromised.

Whether you’re lost at sea, signaling for help, or just needing to illuminate your surroundings in the dark, BCB Light Sticks offer a dependable, long-lasting solution. Rugged, efficient, and ready when you need them most, they are a must-have for any emergency preparedness kit.
