Are glow products safe?
Products are safe for normal use. They are not sources of heat or
sparks, and may be used in areas which contain combustible mixtures of
gasses or liquids, where ordinary sources of light might pose an
explosion or fire hazard. We do not recommend them for use with children
5 and under.
Are glow products
affected by temperature?
Products give maximum light emission when used at temperatures ranging
from 60°F-80°F. If the temperature is higher than 80°F, the light will
be brighter, but will last for a shorter duration. If the temperature is
lower than 60°F, the light will be less bright, but will last longer. As
temperature decreases, intensity decreases and duration of light output
increases.
What
happens if glow products are accidentally ruptured?
The solutions contained in brand products are non-toxic and will not
cause injury to the skin or eyes. Eye contact may cause temporary
discomfort similar to that produced by soaps or shampoos. Should an
accident occur, rinse the affected area thoroughly with water, then
repeat the process. These solutions can soften or mar paint and varnish
if left, and can stain fabric. Dry cleaning, however, may remove these
stains. The Glowsource recommends not using glow products with children
under 5 years of age and strongly encourages all users to use common
sense when handling these or any other similar products.
Are glow products toxic?
Products were tested according to the regulations of the Federal
Hazardous Substances Act used to determine whether a substance is highly
toxic, corrosive or irritant. The components in our products were found
to be none of these.
Are glow products waterproof?
Products are waterproof and may be used in the rain as well as
underwater in both fresh and saltwater.
What is the shelf life
of glow products?
Quality control studies have shown that if the outer foil wrapper has
not been damaged, the product should have a shelf-life of one to four
years, depending on the product used. NOTE: Store products in their
packages until they are ready to be used.
What makes the "glow" in
glow items?
Light is provided by a chemical reaction which takes place when two
solutions are allowed to mix. To prevent the reaction from occurring
prematurely, one of the solutions is stored in a very thin glass capsule
which is easily broken by flexing or bending the tube. To activate,
squeeze the shape until all the inner capsules break, then shake,
keeping the front of the shape face down.
Can an activated glow
item be "turned off?"
Products cannot be shut off once they are activated. The reaction cannot
be stopped once started. However, placing the activated glow product in
a cold place such as a freezer will slow down the process for up to
several days, and will once again glow when warmed to room temperature.
How long do glow products last?
Items will glow from 4 to 24 hours after being activated, based on the
size, type of product and manufacture of the product.
