A throwable chemiluminescent device comprising a time-delay mechanism, wherein an oxalate component and a peroxide component are contained within the device. Certain embodiments are directed to a chemiluminescent device comprising a time-delay mechanism comprising at least two ampoules and an enclosure for the time-delay mechanism, wherein the time-delay mechanism further comprises: (a) a piston and a first spring, the first spring being oriented to allow movement of the piston; (b) at least one lever, the piston being oriented to allow movement of the at least one lever; and (c) a second spring, the second spring being oriented for movement in conjunction with the movement of the at least one lever, wherein an oxalate component is contained in one of the at least two ampoules, and a peroxide component is contained in another of the at least two ampoules, and wherein the time-delay mechanism delays the chemiluminescent reaction of the oxalate component and the peroxide component. |
