The light is caused by a chemical reaction. Most chemical reactions occur at a faster rate with increased temperature.

it comes down to the way the chemicals react with each other within the confines of the outer casing. As you may know the glowing is the reaction between two chemicals stimulated by the combination of the two parts. Temperature plays a part with this reaction in the same way that honey and water do. in cold water the honey will be very difficult to mix but in boiling water the honey will dissolve into the water quite readily. Hope this simple analogy has been descriptive and helpful.

I would put it the other way. When the glowstick has a lot of charge left, it glows brighter and produces more heat. Of course, the chemical reaction may also procede faster as the temp procedes.
