ABSTRACT:
The instant invention is directed to an improved package for securing a chemiluminescent lighting device in a storage condition. In particular, the packaging consists of a heat-shrinkable opaque jacket which protects the chemiluminescent chemicals from degradation by light while simultaneously providing rigidity to the device by use of a PVC film or the like thermo-wrap-plastic capable of blocking light and adhering to the outer shape of the chemiluminescent lighting device. Due to the extremely tight fit of the material around the lighting device coupled with the presence of a score line included in the wrap material, a fracture zone is created such that any impact or flexing sufficient to cause admixture of the chemiluminescent components will, in turn, cause the wrapping material to break at the score line and be instantaneously shed. This feature allows the user to readily activate and unwrap the material in one quick and easy motion while acting as an indicator that the lighting device has been activated.
