I hope this will help out the people who are unsure about what glowsticks to buy from ExtremeGlow. This is being updated from time to time, although the products can change often. QUOTE GlowLight (6U) - I don't recommend these at all...
Novelty (X6U) - I don't recommend these, but they do make for cheap glowsticks if you want to buy packs of 100. These might be good if you just started out, $50 is not bad.
Kip (6KIP) - Same as above...
Kayla (6KAYLA) - Same as above, which is the same above that.
Color Bright (6W) - I thought these weren’t good at first, but the hooks at the end can stay longer for the stringers, in comparison to the Cyalume Industrials. Get the Color Bright if you’re planning on using strings, otherwise use the Cyalume Industrials. The tips at the very end can be annoying, although this problem can be remedied easily by using a nail clipper.
Snaplight Industrial (6SN) - Only if you really like hexagonal glowsticks.
Cyalume Industrial (6Z) - These are the most expensive but they come with a wrapper, which helps to keep the glowsticks out of sunlight. Also the quality difference is very noticeable when compared to the other brands, so this is what I recommend the most. The glowstick appears round shaped, with a candle tip at the very end.
Red/Orange Cyalume Industrial (6IRO) - Don't bother...unless you really like the color of course.
Cyalume Ultra 5-minute Orange (6HO5) - These are the brightest glowsticks currently available...get these!
GL Ultras 5-minute Orange (6GLO5) - See “GL Ultras 5-minute Mini-Pack”.
GL Ultras 5-minute Yellow (6GLY5) - See “GL Ultras 5-minute Mini-Pack”.
GL Ultras 5-minute Green (6GLG5) - See “GL Ultras 5-minute Mini-Pack”.
GL Ultras 5-minute Blue (6GLB5) - See “GL Ultras 5-minute Mini-Pack”.
GL Ultras 5-minute Aqua (6GLA5) - See “GL Ultras 5-minute Mini-Pack”.
GL Ultras 5-minute White (6GLW5) - See “GL Ultras 5-minute Mini-Pack”.
GL Ultras 5-minute Mini-Pack (6GLMIN) - Besides the Green & Aqua color choices…I was kind of disappointed. Going through all the colors ---
Orange = It was not nearly as bright as the 5-minute Cyalumes. Even with the cheaper price, it doesn’t feel the same as with the other alternative.
Yellow = This color was okay, but I still prefer the 30-minute option. They last significantly longer, which makes for a better deal.
Green = From what I’ve seen, this is the second brightest glowstick there is. The duration isn’t long, but the brightness is the closest to the 5-minute Cyalumes right now. These are great for filming, as they show up well on video.
Blue = The Aqua is better in basically every aspect.
Aqua = From what I’ve seen, this is the third brightest glowstick there is. The main reason this color choice is popular is because of the color itself. A lot of people seem to like this color. The Aqua is superior to the Blue…since Aqua is basically a combination of Blue & Green mixed together. The human eye will notice Green to be brighter than Blue, based on the color spectrum. This is why Aqua seems to be brighter than Blue.
White = I was not very impressed with these. It seems like the same brightness to me compared to the 30-minute option, although it only lasts 5 minutes. I still recommend getting the 30-minute Cyalumes instead.
5-minute Max-Pack (6GLMAX) - I’m not sure about this pack, but it seems like the GL Ultras would be the better deal.
Snaplight 30-minute (6SNH) - Same deal with the Industrials, if you really like the hexagonal shape, get these.
Cyalume 30-minute Red (6HR) - Don't bother really, it dims too fast even for 30 minutes.
Cyalume 30-minute Yellow/White (6HYW) - Besides the 5-minute options, these are also a good buy. White is great for the color. It’s not seen that often, and the color is pretty cool. Yellow is good, they are the brightest out of all the high intensities. They’re very bright for about 30 minutes, then start to dim and lasts around 1-2 hours.
Ameriglo 30-minute Blue (6AB30) - I haven’t tried these yet, but it seems like the 5-minute Aqua is the better deal. My personal recommendations --- QUOTE 8-12 hours:
Color Bright (6W) - Green & Yellow recommended.
Cyalume Industrial (6Z) - Green & Yellow recommended.
30-minutes:
Cyalume 30-minute Yellow/White (6HYW) - Yellow & White recommended.
5-minutes:
Cyalume Ultra 5-minute Orange (6HO5) - Orange recommended.
GL Ultras 5-minute Green (6GLG5) - Green recommended.
GL Ultras 5-minute Aqua (6GLA5) - Aqua recommended. http://www.extremeglow.com/Merchant4/merch...Category_Code=6 (6" glowsticks page) When checking out, use the coupon code GLOW in order to receive 5% off. This helps out a little bit with the shipping costs. NOTE: This only works when purchasing Cyalume brand glowsticks.

QUOTE Hi Nmestar99,
This is Amanda on behalf of Extreme Glow, and as our way of saying thanks for the "purchasing guide" you posted, we would love to send you a new and improved 6GLMINI Pack for review.
The 6GLMINI includes 2 of each GL Ultra colors, several of them new. We have a brand new Orange that can actually stand up to the Cyalume Ultras in intensity. Of course, the GL Ultra Orange costs a great deal less than the Cyalume. In addition to the Oranges, we also have a new Ultra Yellow, White, Blue (the old blue is our new Aqua).
In total, the 6GLMINI contains 2 each of the GL Ultra series in Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Aqua, and White.
PM me your address, and I'll send it out immediately.
Thanks again, and have a beautiful day!
Cheers,
Amanda That was really nice of her to send me a free shipment like that. I need to update this guide again.

I gave them my address and they shipped it out immediately after. Now that is some customer service.
I'm not even going to bother doing a comparison between EG and GP, especially since I've never ordered from GP before. I've used glowsticks from GP in the past, and it was kind of a letdown compared to the glowsticks from EG. I would only recommend GP for the color choices that EG doesn't have. I'm sure people are going to disagree with me here, but such is life.

It's still the same coupon code, should help out with shipping costs a little bit.

Colin and I keep finding out about deals AFTER we order stuff. We literally just put in an order for some 12hrs last night and then we find out about the 5% off deal. And last night I also bought him a fire poi set for his birthday and then we find out today that we could have saved 15% grrr... Anyways, good review Jeff. Cyalume oranges FTW (IMG: http://www.glowsticking.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
