I have been looking online for legit sites to buy some ultras. I prefer using omniglow glowsticks. I was jw what other good brands are out there that other people use.

i perfer ultras cuz chylumes are to weak for me the break off everytime

Ya ive heard the same thing. What brand of ultras do you use???

I use a lot of Cyalumes (5min, 30min, 8 hr, 12 hr)because a local store sells em here.
I also use Color Bright 12 hours.

What is the main difference between cyalumes and ultras??

chylumes are really flimsy sticks mainly for poi based moved as soon as the wraps cum in to play they fly off ur string then u gotta do sum boot leg tie... and i go to extream glow and thier more stirdy and bright anyways

Cyalumes are just a popular brand of glow/light products.
Cyalumes makes 5 minute ultras thats all.
Other brands make ultras as well.

The GL ultras on www.extremeglow.com are pretty good. Especially the greens, aquas, and yellows.

the green gl ultras are a great buy. cheap price and lots of light (IMG:http://www.glowsticking.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

the blues were downright disapointing tho :\

Yeah, the blues are a real let-down. Skip on the blues, get the Aquas... its a nicer shade of blue anyway.

Sigh, no one actually answered what ultras are.

Ultras aren't a brand, they're 5-minute ultra-intensity glowsticks called ultras for short. Cyalume just happens to sell orange ultras that are REALLY DAMN BRIGHT and so a lot of people like to use those, or their 30-minute high-intensity whites & yellows. As for the rest of the ultras, we often get GL ultras on extremeglow.com.

As for 8-hour sticks, I like Color Brights.

i never actually purchased glowsticks on line but i like to go to the Home Depot or Lowes and i like to buy these really good glowsticks that dont start fading until 12 hours (IMG:http://www.glowsticking.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
but if im low on cash i go to Party City and buy these cheap sticks called "Super Glow" theyre bright for 30 min then they fade after 4 hours (IMG:http://www.glowsticking.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I came up with a solution for the cyalume tips a while back, no way im the first person to do this but i haven't seen anyone else post anything like this yet so :/, the hole on them is pretty far up the "flame" part, so what i do is take a leather hole puncher and make a second hole as far down as i can in the thicker stronger part of it, i would post a pic, but im not sure how yet, so far, none of the sticks that i have done this to have broken, no matter how hard i wrap. o, and when i use them, i cut off most of the original hole so it doesn't get in the way.

ya i have usd those cheap Super Glow sticks before.They arent bad for the price. Wut was the brand of the ones you baught at home depot??? Think i mite check those out and try them

Haha dunno i got it at target o.O

EDIT: as for cyalumes, i recently broke my first pair. they don't seem that much brighter (to me) than a GL orange one). i dunno, i was pretty dissapointed.
