Over 1 BILLION chemical light sticks are produced annually for the marine industry alone...

...this represents 17,000,000 kgs plastic, 10,600,000 L, harmful chemicals, and 4,487,892.85 kg CO2.

We fixed all that.

BETTER PERFORMANCE

Catch more with a light that has the same brightness, longer duration, and better depth-rating than chem sticks.

AFFORDABLE & RELIABLE

Designed with cost, quality, and durability in mind—don't risk your catch or your bottom line.

SAFE & SUSTAINABLE

Protect the ocean for future generations with a light made from plants, seaweed, and bioluminescent materials.

First come, first serve. Pre-order now!

The Future of Light

Bioluminescence in nature has a quick flash point then quickly dims—our work is pioneering the development of long-duration cell-free bioluminescence. By focusing on the power of bioluminescent enzymes or ‘biocatalysts’ (rather than living bioluminescent systems), we can offer stable, dependable, and non-GMO lighting alternatives.

How It Works

01

Bioluminescent Light

Our proprietary enzyme-based lighting system is inspired by bioluminescence. The enzymes are powerful and biodegradable themselves, which is a fundamental principle in Green Chemistry. The reaction is stable, long lasting, and shelf stable.

02

Biodegradable Shell

The outer shell is made from a blend of TUV Austria certified biodegradable materials. We developed a unique blend to ensure the casing is transparent, adequately flexible, and durable, while remaining biodegradable.

03

Water-Activated

When our bioluminescent formula is mixed in water, the reaction is activated and light is produced. Just like a regular chem light, simply bend until you hear a cracking noise, shake, and enjoy the glow. 

04

Multi-Use Hook

From fishing to hiking to events, we wanted to develop a functional hook that would suit all uses of chem lights. The hook can be clipped over a fishing line, attached to a thread for hanging and marking, and the bottom is flat for stable placement while upright.

Light from Bioluminescence

Nyoka has developed a bioluminescent powder that lights up when mixed with water. The powder is composed of purified bioluminescent proteins, which are non-toxic and themselves biodegradable
The powder is developed to meet & exceed the performance specs of chemiluminescence (chemical light) and it works better than any chem light in the market.
