RETURNS

Free US returns. Your item just needs to reach us within 30 days of delivery.

To start a return, email support@antsonamelon.com and we will send a prepaid label with simple instructions. Once your label is issued, please ship the item back within 14 days.

International returns are accepted on the same 30-day basis, but return postage is the customer’s responsibility.

Returns must come back unused and undamaged, in the original packaging with all accessories. Try it out and make sure it is what you wanted — what we cannot take back is gear that has been flowed with, dropped, scuffed or modified, because we cannot sell it to the next person.

The one exception on eligibility is a custom order — anything made to your own specification, such as a saber cut to a length we do not stock — because those are built for one person and cannot be resold.

If something breaks in use, that is a warranty claim rather than a return, and there is no 30-day limit on it. Email us and we will repair or replace it.

We will ask what went wrong. Not to talk you out of it, but because we can often fix the problem faster than a return can.

For full terms, see our complete Return Policy.

Like the device, hate the app. Love the support.

I'm currently trying to use the light, but my password and user has disappeared from the login, now when I put in my login it says the email is invalid. It's not.
This shouldn't be so hard to use when you are ready to use it.
When this gets fixed, the rating will go up because the device is made nicely, other than the way you have to charge the battery with a dedicated cord.

Heard from support promptly. They were a help. I still think the battery charging could be improved....perhaps by an exterior port like a lot of flashlights have.

Hi Donald, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Just a heads-up, the login for our website is different from the app, so you’ll need to create a new account in the app to get started.

You can use a different charging cord, but be sure the USB-C connector is the same size as the one that came with your order. The included cable is made to fit the back of the RGB Critter BT properly — if the connector is too large, it could cause damage.

If you run into any more trouble, feel free to reach out to us at support@antsonamelon.com and we’ll be happy to help.

Glad you offer this tool, haven’t had a chance to try yet. On my other light painting tools I use a snoot.. I saw this accessory and looking forward to try it…

Thanks, Kevin! We’re glad you picked up the Illuminator and can’t wait for you to give it a try. Hope it adds something special to your light painting!
