MARCO® Marking Light Dispenser

Four Hours at maximum output. The Marking Sticks will continue to put out a gradually diminishing amount of light for hours or even days afterwards.

A fully loaded MARCO Dispenser weighs 3.9oz. The Ten-Speed Belt Hanger pouch weighs 1.3oz. The Helium Whisper pouch weighs 1oz. The Kydex Pouch weighs 2.8oz.

They are currently available for order in Green, Blue, and Red. Infrared is available to order with extended lead-time and minimum order quantities.

Each bag, box, and case is marked with the "Expires on" date. From the day they are manufactured, the 2" MARCO marking sticks have a guaranteed 4 year shelf life if stored according to manufacturer guidelines.

The 2" marking sticks will begin degrading the moment the foil bag is opened. Multiple environmental factors make it impossible to give an exact estimate on how long they will maintain maximum efficacy after opening. Things like extreme heat, extreme cold, and exposure to UV light will further shorten their life-span.

The MARCO Dispenser is designed to be a single use item that should be discarded once empty. While it is not encouraged, it is possible to reload the Marco Dispenser.

Storage at elevated temperatures (above 120° F or 49° C) will decrease shelf life and start to soften the plastic tube, and increase the risk of a leak. Exposure to cold temperatures will not affect the light sticks if they are warmed above 40° F (4.5° C) before activation, unless they are frozen (which occurs at -15 to -20° F, or -26 to -29° C). Once light sticks have been frozen, they will still produce some light, but performance will not be as reliable. Humidity and atmospheric conditions do not affect the marking sticks.

The internal illuminating chemical substance is non-toxic and non-flammable. It is possible that exposure to the chemicals could be a mild irritant for some individuals.

It is highly unlikely that the sticks will burst when stepped on.

For our standard colors (Green, Blue, or Red) a quantity of 1 may be purchased. Depending on current stock status there may be a lead-time associated with any purchase of MARCO.

They are 3 pouch options for MARCO currently available from Blue Force Gear: Ten-Speed Belt Hanger, Helium Whisper Ten Speed (MOLLE Compatible), and a Kydex Belt pouch.

It is recommended that 2 each MARCO Dispensers and one each MARCO carrying pouch be issued to each individual that requires them.

Exposure to cold temperatures will not affect the light sticks if they are warmed above 40° F (4.5° C) before activation, unless they are frozen (which occurs at -15 to -20° F, or -26 to -29° C). Once light sticks have been frozen, they will still produce some light, but performance will not be as reliable. Storage or use at temperatures above 120° F (49° C) will decrease shelf life and start to soften the plastic tube, and increase the risk of a leak. Humidity and atmospheric conditions do not affect the marking sticks.
