The Cyalume 15 inch (40 cm) ground impact lightstick activates automatically on impact with the ground. It is used by the military or by law enforcement forces to create a surprise effect during tactical operations, or to illuminate a room or an area where access is difficult or risky.
When the lightstick activates on impact, it generates instantaneous light without disclosing your position. It can be used in a variety of situations, for instance:
• Marking out an emergency landing zone on the ground,
• Surprising and diverting the attention of your adversary,
• Indicating an immediate danger: locating the presence of a suspect in a dark room without giving your position away,
• Air drops: identification of parcels on impact with the ground,
• Identification of torpedoes for faster withdrawal by the Navy
