After three hours of looking I'm still going, "yeah but what's THAT do?".
A simple step by step please- just need to do glowa sticks and light strips

Glow is a volume property, so you either have to add some geometry to create the volume, or use an Iray trick to simulate it. To make an emission surface appear to "glow" or have an aura, play with the Bloom Filter, in the Iray Filtering render panel. Daz provided a nice little chart on how to tweak the controls to get the look you want:
