Maximum creative control for serious light painters.

Our most complete kit, for photographers who already shoot long exposures and want the full toolset in one box. Both RGB Critter BT flashlights are included, no flashlight to buy separately, along with nearly all of our light painting accessories. Run the pair from one app, match colors exactly across both, and save presets to each light so the whole rig works phone-free.

The three Sol Saber Tubes are bare tubes with no metal fittings on either end, so the adapters included here are what mount them and carry anything else you add.

What's included

How the tubes go together

With two lights and two Critter Tube Adapters you can run two tubes at once, or chain them into one long tool.

  1. Twist an RGB Critter Tube Adapter (Long) onto the front of a Critter, push a tube into its socket and lock the two set screws.
  2. Clamp a Modular Saber Tube Adapter onto the far end. It adds an AOAM female thread there, so twist-on accessories can go on a plain tube.
  3. Twist the included plastic plug into that thread. It carries a reflector that sends light back down the tube, so the whole tube reads brighter.
  4. Use a Modular Saber Tube Connector to join two tubes end to end, or the Critter Connector to put the two lights back to back and drive a tube from each end.

Features

  • Control both lights together, with or without the app
  • Run up to 10 lights at once from the app
  • 16+ million colors and 100 brightness levels
  • Customizable modes and playlists
  • USB-C rechargeable, 7-hour runtime
  • 2-Year Warranty

It's the perfect tool for bringing my artistic visions to life

Filipp Kabanyayev @minimaleafs

Hi, I'm Filipp! I'm a passionate photographer who loves to experiment with light and color. One of my specialties is light painting photography, where I transform simple subjects like leaves and flowers into vibrant, ethereal creations using colored lights. Each of my photographs begins in complete darkness, with light added stroke by stroke, just like painting on a canvas. To achieve the best possible results, I need a flashlight that's bright, vibrant, and reliable—and that's why the RGB Critter BT is my go-to choice. I've tried many flashlights, but Critter stands out with over 16 million super-bright colors, intuitive controls, and a durable design that never lets me down. It's the perfect tool for bringing my artistic visions to life. Through my work, I hope to inspire others to appreciate the beauty of simplicity and connect more deeply with the natural world—and with tools like Critter, that vision becomes a reality.
