| '''Chemical light sticks''', also known as '''"chemlights"''', are plastic tubes containing two isolated elements that when combined, are capable of producing light through chemoluminescence.<ref name="CF100">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sweet-centennial '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Canon Fodder #100: Sweet Centennial'']</ref> | | '''Chemical light sticks''' are plastic tubes containing two isolated elements that when combined, are capable of producing light through chemoluminescence. They are currently used by the [[UNSC]]. When lit, they glow a sickly yellow color, and are used primarily to mark areas or as emergency lighting.<ref name="FS">'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', page 117</ref> |

Chemical light sticks were used by [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan]] [[Red Team]] to provide lighting in [[CASTLE Base]] on [[Reach]],<ref name="FS"/> and later during [[Operation: FIRST STRIKE]] on the captured [[Type-25 Troop Carrier|Spirit dropship]].<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', page 295</ref> |
| They are currently used by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]]. When lit, they glow a sickly yellow color, and are used primarily to mark areas or as emergency lighting.<ref name="FS">''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', Chapter 12</ref> The UNSC also utilizes [[glow rod]]s for similar purposes.<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'''</ref>
