Exactly after 1 hour 39 minute. Look at that rod like thing, the actor breaks that rod on his knee, then shake it. then it lights..

My question is, what is the name of that light??

BTW, glow-sticks can come in small jewelry sized capsules, larger versions that can be worn around the neck or as pendents, etc.

as opposed to Radioluminescence
