The Krill Light electronic electroluminescent (EL) lightstick was the brainstorm of researcher, inventor and founder of Kriana Corporation, Kris Pauly. He saw the need for a less wasteful, more efficient replacement to chemical lightsticks. In 1991, after three years of development, the 2-A A (Original) Krill Light was put into production, and the U.S. Military immediately saw the value in these brilliant marking and lighting tools. Today, the Krill Light is available in three sizes with various lighting options and colors including infra-red and strobing versions. With over 350,000 units sold, the Krill Lights are an indispensable tool for both outdoor enthusiasts and the safety-minded.
