What are aviation light wands used for?

They are the wands a ground crew uses to guide, or marshal, an aircraft into and out of its spot and to signal vehicles moving around the ramp. The lit ones glow bright enough for a pilot to read the hand signals from the cockpit in the dark or in rough weather, and crews also grab them for parking, taxi guidance, and directing traffic at events. Think of one as a flashlight built for talking to an airplane.

What is the difference between the light wands and the day wands?

It comes down to light. The lighted Dura-Wands have an LED inside and are the pick for night, early mornings, and low visibility, when the pilot needs a bright signal to follow. The triangular day wands have no light and are made for bright daylight, where a big high visibility shape reads better than a glow that washes out in the sun. A lot of crews keep both so they are covered around the clock.

What is a flare wand, and how is it different from a regular marshalling wand?

A flare wand is a marshalling wand that does more than glow steady. Alongside the standard signal light it adds flashing and flare modes, so the same tool marshals an aircraft, warns of a hazard, or works as an emergency beacon when a crew needs to flag something fast. It is the multi use pick for people who would rather carry one wand than a wand and a separate flare. If all you ever do is marshal aircraft, a plain lighted wand is plenty, but the flare wand covers more situations.

What are PowerFlares, and what are they used for?

PowerFlares are rugged LED beacons that do the job of an old burning road flare without the fire, the smoke, or the burn out. They are tough enough to drive over, run on a rechargeable or replaceable battery, and throw a bright flashing light that marks a hazard, an incident, or a closed lane on the ramp or the road. You can set one on the ground, use the magnet to stick it to metal, or drop it on top of a cone with the cone adapter. Crews buy them in packs and bucket bundles so a whole scene lights up in seconds.

Can I buy these in bulk for a whole crew?

Yes, and it is the norm here. The marshalling wands come in packs up to 100, the flare wands up to 80, and the PowerFlares in 4 and 8 packs plus 24 and 36 unit bucket bundles that store and haul the whole set. Buying the bigger packs drops the price per unit, which matters when you are handing gear to a full ground crew. Since all of it is built to take weather and rough handling, a bulk order should hold up for a good while.
