[edit] Summary

Spectral emission of chemoluminescence (green line) of mixed fluorophore and peroxide which was removed from an orange lightstick, fluorescence of liquid fluorophore in glass ampoule only (before mixing) while under black light (yellow-orange line), fluorescence of plastic outer container of orange lightstick under blacklight (red line), and spectrum of reassembled chemoluminescent lightstick (glowing liquid poured back into original orange plastic vial). This plot thus shows that the orange light from an "orange lightstick" is created by a greenish-yellow light emitting chemoluminescent liquid partially inducing fluorescence in (and being filtered by) an orange plastic container (darker orange line). All spectra are corrected for intensity response by detector and were taken by me on a high OH solarization resistant fiber optic-coupled Ocean Optics HR200 spectrometer. Data used to create graph is on the talk page in csv format.
