An emergency light stick is a straightforward backup for anyone spending time on the water after dark. Bend, snap and shake one and it glows within seconds, no batteries or electronics to fail, which makes it a sound addition to a grab bag, lifejacket pocket or cockpit locker alongside your flares. Each stick clips on with the included lanyard, so it can be worn on a harness for a man overboard situation or hung to mark a companionway, tender or anchor line at night. With burn times of up to 15 hours, a single stick will run through most of a night watch or an overnight passage. For sailing in Ireland, where a west-coast night can close in fast, having a light source that needs no power source and works the moment it is snapped is a sensible, low-cost backup to carry.
