Glowstick

Glowsticks are a form of lighting. Torches will not work underwater when held, but Glowsticks, on the other hand, will. They work a bit differently from Torches, in that they cannot be stuck into the floor or attached to walls (unless they're made into a Sticky glowstick). Instead, if you left-click while holding a Glowstick, your character will throw it in that direction. Glowsticks will emit light for a lengthy period of time after being thrown, and have a 1:3 chance to be recoverable afterwards.

Glowsticks can be used as an alternative to torches while digging staight down, by throwing it on the ground then digging under it, the Glowstick will fall down as the blocks are destroyed and provide you with light all along the way.

They can be bought from the Merchant for 20 Copper each, but he only sells them at night. They will not appear in his shop during the daytime. They are also dropped by Jellyfish, and can also be found somewhat commonly from underground chests and pots.
