Lightsticks with rechargeable batteries are best for lighting up small spaces. Press the button to turn them on and select the color of the beam. Charge them with a micro-USB cord (not included). They’ll glow red when charging and turn off when they’re done. To save battery, their lockout function keeps them from turning on by accident. Rated IP07, you can drop them in water and they’ll still work. These lightsticks have an S-hook for easy hanging.

Lightsticks with disposable batteries are the best choice for location marking because they’ll stay lit up for 50 hours, compared to the rechargeable option that lasts 8 hours. They produce electroluminescent light, which uses less power than LEDs but emits similar light. They have a loop for hanging, but you’ll need something to fix them in place.
