Chemical lightsticks glow by way of two chemicals; cyalume and hydrogen peroxide. Inside the glowstick is a thin glass tube; inside of that is a chemical known as hydrogen peroxide. Outside of this tube, there is a chemical known as cyalume. When a glowstick is "cracked", the glass tube is broken, and when a glowstick is shaken the two chemicals mix together. These chemicals also activate a die of whatever colour the glowstick may be (pink, white, orange, green, red, etc.), causing the stick to "glow".

What will happen if you put a glowstick in the freezer?

Does temperature effect the brightness of a glowstick?
Yes it is. If you put a activated glow stick in hot water the atoms in a glow stick will start to move around. The plastic will expand letting the atoms move. When the atoms move they create energy, energy equals bright light. If you were to put the activated glow stick in room temperature water it would not be as bright. The atoms will stay the same. If you were to put a activated glow stick in cold water the atoms won't move. They will huddle together. No movement means no energy which means no brightness. You are welcome :)
