Abstract
A polygonal outer shell providing improved light transmission characteristics for chemiluminescent lighting devices. The corners created by incidence of the surfaces that comprise the shell create a fiber optic effect by concentrating the light in the corners, thus enhancing visibility of light emanating from the light stick and optimizing the amount and distribution of light radiated from the device. Furthermore, a hook-shaped tip by which the light may be suspended from means of horizontal support. In an alternate embodiment, the hook defines an opening and a quick release locking device which allows quick insertion of means of horizontal support into the eye and simultaneously prevents the support from disengaging therefrom unless the locking device is released.
