Cyalume Technologies - Military Chemlights

Cyalume® Light Technologies is the world leader in chemiluminescent products (glow sticks). For around 40 years, military forces around the world have extensively used ChemLight™ lightsticks, which are simple-to-use products with proven reliability, durability and effectiveness. A Cyalume chemlite product allows soldiers to control darkness to their advantage.

ATEX-certified military ChemLight

With patented formulations, Cyalume military ChemLights guarantee no heat, open flames or sparks once activated. ATEX-certified ChemLight™ products can be stored in areas that contain combustible mixtures of gases or liquids, where ordinary sources of light could cause an explosion or fire hazard.

Chemlights for hazardous situations

Cyalume chemlights are the safest light source used by military forces in the most hazardous situations, including combat operations, dealing with technological hazards, and natural disasters. They can be used for any emergency, even underwater.

Lightweight, maintenance-free, and green chemlights

Lightweight and maintenance-free, Cyalume products do not need any energy source (no battery is needed) and have a guaranteed shelf life of four years.
Cyalume products are non-flammable, non-toxic and environmentally friendly. They are made of 100%-recyclable materials. REACH compliance and patented formulation without phthalates are just two of Cyalume's commitments to providing environmentally safe products and sustainable development.

Chemlights for force protection (FP) and night operations

FP is one of the greatest and most common challenges modern armed forces have to address in current operations. In addition, night operations are becoming more and more frequent, but remain complex and dangerous, even with the help of high technology.
Cyalume Technologies' military chemlights contribute to FP and night operations, by offering simple solutions that help with mitigating the risks and hazards of the battlefield at night or in limited visibility conditions. See or be seen: we can control the level of darkness to provide you with the advantage.

Chemlights and accessories to illuminate, mark, and trace

We provide solutions that contribute to the implementation of FP. Our wide range of innovative products for the military include, but are not limited to, chemlights with various durations, different sizes and shapes, and visible colours or infrared, as well as accessories for these lights.
Suggested applications for our lighting devices include obstacles or minefield marking, vehicle/convoy identification, route marking, traffic control visibility at night, evacuation and egress route lighting, and search and rescue operations.
Cyalume offers a large array of markers for helicopter landing zones, both in visible or infrared light, which are very helpful during night missions. The company also supplies a range of medical triage markers to categorise the wounded in dark environments.

Identification friend or foe (IFF) products

Cyalume has recently developed innovative IFF products, specifically with infrared (IR) reflective patches. An IR reflective patch can be used for covert combat identification. To the naked eye, they appear without a visible reflective glow. When illuminated with an IR source, a bright reflection can be clearly seen at extremely long range.
Our IFF lights provide identification for both day and night operations.

ISO-certified manufacturer of military chemlights

With ISO 9001-certified factories in the US and France, Cyalume guarantees the highest quality standards. The unique production process meets and exceeds military specifications, making Cyalume the sole manufacturer authorised to display NATO stock numbers (NSN), on all ChemLight brand products.
Committed to FP, Cyalume Technologies continually works with soldiers to develop innovative light solutions for their safety.
