I got some 6" light sticks for 50 cents each at King Soopers after halloween and really liked them. They are nice and thick, so I don't mind letting DS play with them (he has a strong oral fixation and things STILL go in his mouth... ugh). The light lasted all night so they would be great for taking on trips.
They have a hook on top that works well to hang from a curtain ring in the bathrooms for gentle light all night long. They also have a loop for a lanyard if you want to hang it from something else (stroller, wear around a neck, tie to a backpack etc).
The brand is Omniglow -- Color Bright
I started searching around for them and the best price I've found is on extremeglow.com.
They have multipacks of 50 for $25 = 50 cents each! (no lanyard with the multipacks) or in individual sealed packs for .74 each and each pack has a black plastic string/lanyard to use (they cost less if you buy more). I called and confirmed that the sticks in the Kip Pack and the Kayla Pack are Omniglow/Color Bright. They also said that as long as the glow sticks are kept in a light proof package, it is fine to get the larger quantaties. The bulk items come in a black zip top bag. The 100 stick bulk pack is also the same brand but you can only get one color.
