White Light Stick

A White Light Stick is usually seen on the short-lived primetime game show Set for Life which was based on the equally short-lived British game show called For the Rest of Your Life.

History
Fifteen lights sticks (eleven white, four red) are concealed inside stands on the show's stage. Each round of play begins with the contestant selecting a light stick and pulling it from its stand revealing its color. If the stick is white, the contestant moves up one step on the time ladder, however, if the stick is red, the contestant moves down one step on the time ladder unless they are not on it as of which the situation remains unchanged. Since there are eleven steps on the time ladder and only eleven white sticks the Set for Life jackpot level can only be reached by selecting all eleven white sticks consecutively either drawing no red sticks at all or only drawing up to three red sticks at the start of the game before any whites are drawn. Each time a white stick is drawn, the contestant is given the option of stopping play and leaving with the number of payments they have earned to that point. When a red stick is drawn however, the contestant must continue to select sticks until a white stick is drawn.

Design
The White stick consist of a cylinder with a white light on the bottom.
