A festival-bright, programmable LED staff for flow artists.

Two RGB Critter BT flashlights joined back to back drive a full staff, 23 to 83 inches depending on the tube length you pick. Silicone end caps absorb impact and add just enough weight for smooth contact moves and high-speed spins. Because it runs on two Critters, the staff in your bag is also two sabers, or a saber and a light painting rig, whenever you want it to be.

Everything you need is in the box: both flashlights, batteries, the two tube adapters and the connector. Pick your tube pattern (Sol, Honeycomb, Butterfly or Stellar) and length (6, 12, 18, 24, 30 or 36 inch) when you order.

What's included + features Show less

What's included

  • 2x saber tube in the pattern and length you choose (Sol, Honeycomb, Butterfly or Stellar; 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 or 36 inch)
  • 2x Saber Twist-On Cap, one included with each saber tube at no extra cost, for its threaded tip. White with Sol tubes, Clear with Honeycomb, Butterfly or Stellar
  • 2x RGB Critter BT flashlight
  • 2x RGB Critter Tube Adapter, Long, black, to mount the tubes
  • Critter Connector, to join the two flashlights back to back into a full staff (23 to 83 inches depending on tube length)
  • 2x Flow Cap (Clear), one for each free tube end
  • 2x 2500mAh 18650 rechargeable battery
  • 2x USB-C charging cable

How it goes together

The mounting end of a saber tube is bare, with no thread, so the adapters in this kit are what hold the tubes on the lights. The other end of a saber tube is threaded from the factory, which is where the two Saber Twist-On Caps in this kit go. Light painting tubes are different: only the 36 inch length is threaded, and the 5 to 29 inch lengths have no threads on either end.

  1. Twist an RGB Critter Tube Adapter (Long) onto the front of each RGB Critter BT, push a tube into its socket and lock the two set screws.
  2. Join the two flashlights back to back with the Critter Connector to form the full staff.
  3. Thread a Saber Twist-On Cap into each free tube tip, then push a Flow Cap (Clear) on over the top of it for impact protection. Both caps go on the same end, so it is never a choice between them.

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.

I'm enjoying 2 sabers as a staff. I also have the inward connection to have 2 flashlights on 1 tube. Still working on a DIY levitation wand. This would be cool as a stand alone product as well to reduce the weight with a different light source or two.

Best staff ever!

01/11/2024

I have been staffing my whole life. From pretend fighting as a kid to modern flow, and now I'm learn to contact staff. In all my years, I've never played with such a fun staff! Its lightweight, but still heavy and solid feeling. The grips are nice and the saber parts of the staff feel good to grip and slide nicely for doing isolation techniques! Its amazing at being a staff, but then its also a double saber! It's gotten me into many lightsaber duels and handled them well. Top tier products right here!

The staff itself is great, the software not so much

The staff itself is great. But managing the software Really ruins the experience. It is very, very difficult to pair both halves of the staff, and keep them connected. Once you’ve got them connected, it’s like winning the lottery. But moments after performing, if you touch any of the buttons (which are near the middle) you will shut off one or both of the segments. I’ve worked with AOAM support and had some success. I’ve also looked to the web for help. So far I’m estimating 2 hours of fun and 6 hours of research. I feel that AOAM should provide a full set of precise instructions and also update their firmware to make it more user friendly. Note that there is a way to disable the buttons so you don’t accidentally turn it off. But I am yet to get it to work.

Aside from these terrible issues, the staff looks absolutely amazing when things are working.

Hi Jason,

We’re glad to hear the staff looks amazing, but we’re sorry the setup and button controls have caused so much frustration.

Both RGB Critter BTs can be controlled together by creating a group in the AOAM app. Make sure both devices are powered on and connected, then go to the Group section, select “Create Group,” choose both Critters, and save the group. When the group is active, the LEDs on both devices will turn white.

This video demonstrates the process:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEpLqzwb2zI

There are also two ways to prevent accidental button presses:

• On each Critter, press the Arrow and Power buttons simultaneously while it is turned on. A red flash means the buttons are locked, and a green flash means they are unlocked.
• You can also use “Lock Buttons” under Universal Settings in the AOAM app.

We appreciate your feedback and agree that these instructions need to be easier to find. Please reach back out to our support team if you’re still having trouble, and we’ll help make sure both the grouping and button lock are working correctly.

Amazing customer service and product.

Amazing in real life! The Analog option is delightful on camera and to everyone's eyes. A fun side show on its own while you learn the controls!
Despite all the color combinations you can set even more! Navigation is 3 buttons, small learning curve but knowing how you want to use the RGB Critter LED Staff helps narrow down which button clicks to remember. Easy lockouts to prevent accidental button pushing and the availability of drop in spare batteries is making this my most versatile tool. The connection between the RGB Critters is rock solid, even with multiple add-ons the Led Staff is secure feeling. Quick turn around on questions and special requests by email. Great job to the Ants on a Melon team!

I find these are perfect for play combat, not too hard and very durable, but be careful you don't lean on them as they are not stiff enough to bear weight. i was impressed that they have a screwtop end to receive other accessories or double up with another saber accessory. Staff flow and sword flow is not my jam but as a product i give it a high rating, and its also a great toy for sharing with interested people.

Love this! Using two sabers as a staff sounds epic, and we’re all about that creative DIY spirit. A levitation wand with a lighter setup is an awesome idea — we’ll definitely keep that in mind for future product development. Keep using the force and pushing the boundaries of what's possible!

Lumi-Fabulous!

I purchased the Hive pattern 24" Lumi Sabre as a trial for my girlfriend who adores anything that lights up and blinks. She loved it! I found the sabre to be brighter than I expected. In terms of movement, I find it very refined and well balanced, yet light and maneuverable.

I liked it so much, I bought 2 more of them, in the 36" size to complete all her pattern set.

She finds them useful for light painting as well as prop work as a staff.

Saber staff

I absolutely love this toy the balance the functionality and the brightness! Just a note on the brightness this year 2022 at EDC everyone came up to this saber like it was a staff so bright one of the brightest things out there as a totem or a staff! After all the staffing, I pulled it apart and put my small 12" sabers on for in the crowd fun!
