You are right that they must stay in the wrapper. > Actually, after putting my "helper" glasses on and getting in better light, I found that the Cyalume Safety-Lights *do* have what appears to be an expiration date incorporated in the serial numbered I mentioned previously. The last digits on the one I am now looking at are: / 5 EX 8/02. I assume this means an August 2002 expiration, or about 3 years. The http://www.omniglow.com/ FAQ states that you can expect a shelf life of 1 to 4 years, depending on the product. Unfortunately, they don't list the shelf life for their various products.
