CMC Government Supply Adds Cyalume Products TO GSA Contract

DALLAS - March 12, 2013 - PRLog -- CMC Government Supply now has Cyalume Technologies’ products available through the government purchase program, GSA Advantage.  Cyalume Technologies is the maker of Cyalume SnapLight Light Sticks and Flare Alternatives.

The addition of these products to CMC Government Supply’s GSA Schedule Contract makes it easier for all government buyers to purchase.  CMC Government Supply also participates in the cooperative program through GSA enabling state and local agencies to purchase products at the same price.  

Government Departments and Agencies need light sticks which can be used in many situations for safety, emergency planning, recognition, signals, search and rescue, and more.  There are 6 color options which give users and planners a choice and the ability to use different colors for special purposes.  They are lightweight making them easy to carry and the preferred lighting option for those who need to pack a lighter load.  Cyalume Light Sticks have even been known to help rescue crews find injured hikers.  

SnapLight Light Sticks are non-toxic, waterproof, buoyant and non-flammable.  They come in lengths of 6 inches, illuminating the area for up to 12 hours.  These light sticks are easy to use and provide 360 degrees of light immediately when you need it.  

The most unique advantage of Cyalume chemical light products is their ability to remain operational for years, free of any dependency on batteries or electrical connections.  Additional advantages include operation without spark or flame, and without oxygen consumption.  Cyalume lights are ready all the time, every time.

Public Safety Departments will want to have Cyalume Flare Alternatives which are 10 inches long and come in yellow or red providing 2 hours of light.  There is also an orange 8 Inch Ultra High Intensity Flare which lasts 30 minutes.  These flare alternatives can be used at accident scenes, vehicle breakdowns, as hazard markers, and to alert drivers of construction or obstacles in the road.

In addition to the functionality and safety the Flare Alternatives provide, they make it easier for buyers to buy and store as they meet DOT Non-Hazardous Standards.  They are non-combustible and, therefore, do not require a permit for storage. Another thing buyers like is reduced shipping costs for flares. Typical flares incur additional hazardous materials shipping charges.  

Government departments and agencies require dependable products for effective planning and operations.  Such rock solid reliability and safety in a self contained system makes Cyalume Technologies emergency lighting products a smart choice, one that can make a difference in operations affecting large numbers of people.  For more information on the Cyalume products available, visit http://www.cmcgov.com/store/pc/Cyalume-Technologies-c421.htm
