How does temperature in a luminol reaction affect light produced?

If the temperature of the glow stick (chemiluminescence) is warmer, it releases a brighter glow and has a shorter reaction time. If the temperature of the glow stick is colder, it releases a dimmer glow but has a longer reaction time. Lower temperatures slow reaction rates and release less light intensity then higher temperatures.


Do glow sticks glow longer in the dark or light?

The better question is does a glow stick glow longer in hot or cold environments. Here since its a chemical reaction heat acts as a catalyst and speeds up the process. So in warm weather you'll get brighter glow that lasts significantly shorter then a glow stick in a cold environment. Funny enough if you cool down a glow stick enough (about -60 F) then the process will stop altogether.
