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.

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.

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.

--------------------

My biggest fear is that I am a powerful person. That I have potential. That I am an inspiration. My biggest fear is that people will watch me and, in watching me, will make me not want to outshine them. My biggest fear is that I will hide who I am for fear that it will offend someone else, that it will cause someone shame or that I will in fact be better than someone else.
But hiding who I am, being falsely humble and standing back when I should be stepping up does everyone a disservice. If I show who I am to the world, it will cause others to show who they are. And the world will be better for it.
Feel free to call me on this if you see me standing back when I should be at the front, being quiet when I should be speaking up or ever saying “it’s nothing” when I’ve done something worth being thanked for. And, hopefully, I’ll call you on it if you do it too.

-GL ultras from Extremeglow (Max Pack)
-some brand i got 100 8 hours of off ebay for 30 bucks
-occasionally omniglows from party stores if needed, but currently in my room i have 150+ sticks total. so i'm good for awhile (IMG:http://www.glowsticking.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

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.
