Start testing glow sticks. Today's two are identical in terms of light: 558nm ± 2nm. The 1 hour one is super bright but decayed super fast. It barely glows at 1 hour. But at the beginning, it measured 668 lx, reported by my phone, when placing the stick on the screen.

The 10 hours one is not that bright, but still good for reading. It feels much easier to see compared to the blue glow stick: the blue one is bright, but it makes my eyes exhausted. The yellow one is much better. Since human eyes are much more sensitive to green light, I would expect the green one to be the best. But I'm also curious about the white one.

And with the last two images, you can tell the lacking of blue makes the color very off. You can hardly see blue. I mean, that's expected, and I know this. But seeing with my own eyes is just amazing.

Bird, but furry

That's a weird looking bird, LOL

Last weekend, me: WTF why it stops working???

Also me, several hours later: I forget to uncomment the line where I commented out for debuging.

Update: To find out which color is best for illuminating surroundings, I ordered a cheap (50 USD) spectrometer.

Really want to share this YouTube video before I go to sleep. Vocaloid is quite old, considering we have machine learning models to generate really real voices and even songs. But this video really amazed me not because the voice, in contrast, the vocal is indistinguishable to me. But the idea behind the video surprised me. I never thought you could express something in this way. Of course it's almost 3am in the midnight so I won't spend too much time to type that "something" in English. Just watch the video.

15 hours and still glowing. But at this time the light is super week, I don't think you can read with that. You can only tell something is glowing.

Praise the chemistry, again.

I wonder if there is a dl model that can generate the correct tone so Miku can actually talk.

it's still glowing after 5 hours. I remembered once upon a time I got several glow sticks. I was excited just like today, but soon, my interest moved to other things (what do you expect when I was a kid? Focus on something for hours? No one paid me to do that), and when I suddenly realized, the glow sticks died and no longer glowed.

I think that might be the first time in my life that I felt the emotions of experiencing the end of something. This week I bought glow sticks purely because I suddenly remember my cousin's kid was playing with that several weeks ago. So by pure curiosity, I was thinking maybe a powerful glow sticks can be used as emergency light? After all, the power outage is pretty common in my area.

Never thought a glow stick would bring out that much of emotions : )

and apparently I have positive phototaxis

The brand is called LUMICA, and it claims this one can last 6 to 8 hours. There are also skus provide longer duration or brighter glow.

Praise the chemistry!

When I was young, my family was poor, and basically, when I saw other children have those cheap toy glow sticks (about 0.2USD per stick back when I young? When you can get 5 or 4 CNY with 1 USD) in their hands, disappointment is all I could have. Asian, LOL. I guess that is one reason why I'm so excited about this glow stick.
