Abstract: A hand-carriable baton for displaying at least one chemiluminescent light stick which provides a determinate period of ambient light includes an elongated tubular body having first and second ends, and an inner bore coequal in length with the body. The bore is closed at the first end by a removably securable cap to which a lanyard is attached, and secured to the second end is a socket member. One illumination producer in the form of a chemiluminescent light stick is mounted to the socket member for projecting outwardly therefrom for providing ambient light of fixed duration while a second illumination producer, also a chemiluminescent light stick, is stored within the bore for replacing the first light stick. The tubular body also includes an anti-rotation element adjacent the second end to prevent the device from rolling away from the user if dropped on any ground surface.
