Chemical Light-sticks have long since been the tool of rescue workers, military, and hikers. It may be time to upgrade from those old-fashioned chemical light sticks though.
Initially designed by the creators to replace Light-sticks in night and cave diving, Glo-Toob offers a brighter and longer lasting alternative. Driven by LEDs and built like a little tank, Glo-toobs offer some rather impressive advantages.

- Up to 11 light pattern modes (depending on model) including SOS

- More Environmentally Friendly then Chemical Light-Sticks

How do these compare with the Krill light sticks?
Friday Gear Report is just an announcement about new products. We have not yet had a chance to review either products. The Krill lights look pretty darn interesting too and I was planning on doing a future Friday Gear Report about them.
Found a deal last month on eBay and picked up a Krill 180 Extreme (more light, less battery life) for $16 new. Had not seen Glo-Toob before I bought the Krill. Just wonder if I should buy one.

I have two Glo-Toob and they are great. You have more options with the Glo-Toob and various modes. The light stick are a one time burn and throw away device. One mode on the Glo-Toob is SOS — … —, long short long in 3 burst pattern. wtrich
