With the shorter days I sometimes feel like fishing on for an extra hour
or
two after dark. I've seen an advert for Starlites - little stick things
that fit inside hollow float tips. When activated they glow. Anyone used
them?
I'd like to know.
Are they any good at distance or do you need to fish close in to see them?

Close in - it need's too much concentration far out. Ever tried watching a
small light for 2hrs ;-)

Once activated, how long does one Starlite glow for?
6+ hrs easily

The pack I'm considering buying comes with a set of floats but, once all
the
Starlites are used, are replacements commonly available in tackle shops?

Yes - loads available, different sizes. I also the lites taped taped to my
quivertip
