Evacuation of hotel guests using light sticks
Emergency lighting solutions for the evacuation of hotel guests
All hotel professionals are concerned about the safety and comfort of their customers. Cyalume glow sticks are emergency lights designed to help you find your way in the dark and avoid accidental slips and falls.
Already used by Hyatt, Intercontinental and many other renowned hotel groups, these lights are easy for your guests to activate in the event of power cuts, evacuations, or when light is needed after any type of disaster!
The two Cyalume products that are recommended to satisfy your hotel risk management needs are:
- SnapLight 15cm glow sticks with a range of personalisation options for packaging (see description below). The 15cm SnapLight glow sticks are affordable enough so that they can be given to every guest upon their arrival or placed as standard in guest rooms for complete peace of mind. Our glow sticks, when placed in the drawer of a bedside table for example, are a reliable lighting solution that is always ready for use in the event of a power failure.
- LightStation Model 20 a 20-pack of emergency glow sticks made from high-strength plastic are ideal for placing next to emergency exits. When activated, the light sticks provide 360° of light to see and be seen in the dark.
Whichever option you choose, this type of lighting makes it possible to calmly manage any type of crisis. The glow stick:

In addition to hotels, holiday villages, tourist complexes and even holiday centres with bungalows spread over a large area can also be equipped with this type of emergency lighting in order to mitigate any risk and help with possible evacuations. Some companies are now deciding to equip their emergency kits with glow sticks as standard to mark routes and highlight assembly points during evacuation procedures. The glow sticks remain 100% functional for up to 5 years rendering your initial outlay much more cost effective. Indeed, these lights have no batteries, do not require any inspection or maintenance and will operate without problems when called upon.

Emergency lights, in the event of a power failure in hospitals
Hospitals should be equipped with reliable, high-quality lighting to offer an environment conducive to healing. Brightness plays an essential role in patient healing and a lighting or power failure can have harmful consequences: both physically and mentally, which can then lead to serious complications in the patient’s recovery process.
Cyalume’s emergency lighting solutions (in particular through its LightStation – wall boxes containing light sticks that can be activated at any time) provide hospitals with emergency lighting in the event of any type of crisis. These glow sticks are intended to complement the glow-in-the-dark evacuation signs already in place throughout the building and to provide additional light allowing you to find your way in the dark and make the evacuation process more comfortable.
In addition, light markers (also called light patches) can be useful in medical triage to identify the degree of urgency of patients’ treatment, and to establish a treatment priority.
Emergency lighting for public events
Whether it is a concert, a sporting event (like a football match), a trade fair or exhibition, a music festival or a public celebration safety is an extremely important consideration. Precautions must be taken to plan for disasters, such as terrorist attacks, that have become more common in recent years.
Each event is now the subject of heightened security and with detailed alert plans where emergency lighting is essential in many different areas.
To ensure effective event management and security, Cyalume light tubes:
- Contribute to the safety of rescue teams (namely police and security guards.) by wearing highly visible, luminous markings, anybody involved in event security can be clearly seen by the public, reinforcing feelings of public safety,
- Facilitates emergency response: light markers can be used to perform medical triage and prioritise the treatment of injured people,
- Facilitates evacuations: Cyalume lights are portable and can help you find your way in the dark thus facilitating evacuation
- avoiding mass panic: a glow stick can reassure a person who has just been shocked by an accident, an attack, or any other type of unpredictable event. Having a personal and reliable source of light makes it possible to see and be seen in the dark and to help you regain your composure and clearly assess the situation.
