Light emitted from a glow stick can be measured using a light meter that quantifies the intensity of the emitted light. The unit of measurement for light intensity is typically in lux or lumens. By placing the light meter close to the glow stick, you can determine the brightness of the light it produces.
Unfortunately, there is no way to turn off a glow stick. The light from a glow stick comes from mixing two chemicals together. One chemical is inside a fragile glass vial, suspended in the second chemical. Whe the glass breaks, the chemicals mix and you get light until the chemicals finish reacting. There are military surplus stores and camping supply departments that sell glow stick covers. You "turn off" the light by dousing it -- covering it.
The light stick in hot water will glow the brightest as the heat increases the rate of the chemical reaction, producing more light. The light stick in ice water will glow dimmer as the cold temperature slows down the reaction. The stick at room temperature will produce light at a moderate level compared to the other two.
The glow stick in the cold water will not glow as bright as the glow stick in the hot water because when you cool the glow stick down, the chemical process will slow down. The glow stick in the hot water will glow brighter but for a shorter period of time.
Glow sticks emit light through a chemical reaction called chemiluminescence. Inside a glow stick, a chemical solution is kept separate from a substance called a dye. When the stick is bent and the inner capsule is broken, the two substances mix, causing a chemical reaction that produces light.
A light-emitting diode (LED) converts electrical energy into light, not chemical potential energy. Chemical potential energy can be converted into light through a chemical reaction in a process known as chemiluminescence, commonly seen in glow sticks and fireflies.
To make a glow stick glow longer, you can use chemicals that slow down the rate of the chemical reaction that produces the light. One way to do this is by using a higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide or a lower concentration of the dye in the glow stick solution. This can help make the glow stick last longer before the reaction is fully used up.

It's a chemical change--there's a glass ampule in the glow stick. and it's got one chemical in it. Around it is another chemical. When you break the glow stick the two chemicals mix, and the glow happens.

Glow sticks are like firecrackers - they are a one-shot deal. That's it.
A glow stick contains two separate compartments: one with hydrogen peroxide and a fluorescent dye, and the other with a mixture of phenyl oxalate ester and a fluorescent dye. When you bend and crack the glow stick, the compartments mix and initiate a chemical reaction that produces light. The energy for the glow comes from the reaction between the hydrogen peroxide and the phenyl oxalate ester.

Glow sticks are one-time use items and cannot be recharged.
Inside a glow stick, there are two separate compartments: one containing hydrogen peroxide and a fluorescent dye, and the other containing a solution of phenyl oxalate ester and a fluorescent dye called diphenyl oxalate. When you bend the glow stick, the glass vial breaks and the two solutions mix, resulting in a chemical reaction that produces light.
