compatible with devices on IOS 17.0+ ANDROID 7.0+

A complete saber in one box. Four patterns, six lengths, nothing else to buy.

Length: 6 and 12 inch are short and quick. 18 and 24 inch are the everyday spinning sizes. 30 and 36 inch are the full-size performance blades, and 30 inch is the classic duelling length.

Pattern: same tube, same fit, same lengths, so choose on looks alone. Sol is an even unbroken glow, Honeycomb a clean hexagon grid, Butterfly bold organic shapes, Stellar a subtle scatter of stars.

What's included + features Show less

A blade of smooth, even light on an impact-resistant polycarbonate tube, with the flashlight, the mount, the hilt and the caps already in the kit. Built for contact. The tube comes off in seconds, so the same kit is also a whip, a staff, or a light painting rig.

Pick your length

Every length is the same build. Longer blades throw a bigger arc and cost a little more, shorter blades are faster in the hand and travel better.

  • 6 and 12 inch are short and quick. Doubles, contact work, light painting, and the ones that fit in a bag.
  • 18 and 24 inch are the everyday spinning sizes. Enough blade to read on camera without slowing you down.
  • 30 and 36 inch are the full-size performance blades. The 30 inch is the classic duelling length.

Pick your pattern

  • Sol is an even, unbroken glow down the full length. The classic, and the one for duels.
  • Honeycomb is laser cut with hexagons, so the blade reads as a clean repeating grid.
  • Butterfly takes its cutouts from butterfly wings, spreading light into bold organic shapes.
  • Stellar is a scatter of stars, the most subtle of the four.

What's included

  • Saber tube in the pattern and length you choose
  • RGB Critter BT flashlight
  • RGB Critter Tube Adapter - Long, black, the part that holds the tube on the Critter, with its two set screws and hex key already fitted
  • Saber Hilt Extension, for a longer two-hand grip
  • Saber Twist-On Cap for the far end of the blade, included with your saber tube at no extra cost. White with a Sol tube, Clear with a Honeycomb, Butterfly or Stellar one
  • 2500mAh rechargeable battery and USB-C charging cable
  • Soft silicone Flow Cap. It pushes on over the Twist-On Cap, so you can run both on the same tube end

The Saber Twist-On Cap comes with the tube and the silicone end cap is in the box too, so neither is an extra cost.

How it goes together

The tube adapter twists onto the front of the Critter, the tube pushes into its socket, and two set screws lock it down with the hex key in the box. The twist-on cap threads onto the far end of the tube, which is threaded from the factory on every saber tube, and the soft Flow Cap pushes on over the top of it. Those two are not an either/or: run whichever you like, or both at once. Light painting tubes are the exception: from 5 to 29 inch they have no threads on either end and no adapter makes a twist-on cap fit one. Only the 36 inch length is threaded, and it ships with its own cap. The hilt extension threads onto the back of the Critter when you want a longer grip, and every hilt opens another seat, so you can keep adding 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.

Crazy bright sabers!

08/05/2025

Absolutely love these sabers and how bright they are! I own 3 different kinds (honeycomb, Sol, and Butterfly) and mix and match them to make double sided sabers. My friends and I bash them around and have never had any issues. Super durable and worth every penny!!

12" MODULAR SOL SABER

This sol saber is very nice quality! It's sturdy and well made! I got this image my first night out. I am in love with AOAM tools and the critter, wow oh wow, thank you for improving my light painting with your light and tools!

Super Fun Tool

I've had the 47" Sol saber for a few weeks now, and have loved it so far!
The material is pretty resilent, and can take a bit of knocking around, which is great for waving something so long around in the dark.
There's some light fall off due to the length, but that is to be expected.

Lighting Up The Night With AOAM's RGB Critter

As a light painting photographer, I've experimented with a myriad of tools and gadgets to bring my visions to life. But nothing has quite matched the versatility, customization, and sheer brilliance of Ants on a Melon's RGB Critter.

The RGB Critter is more than just a flashlight; it's a modular system that opens up a world of possibilities. The ability to attach a variety of accessories, from the Critter Connectors to the Lumi and Sol Sabers, means I can adapt and evolve my toolkit to suit any creative scenario. The Inverse Critter Connector even allows me to double up on the light show, creating a symphony of color that's twice as mesmerizing.

One of the standout features of the RGB Critter is its customization. The color palette is programmable, offering a spectrum of hues that can be tailored to any artistic vision. The multiple lighting modes add another layer of flexibility, allowing me to play with strobes, fades, and pulses to create dynamic and captivating light paintings.

But what truly sets the RGB Critter apart is its performance. The rechargeable battery ensures that I can work through the night without worrying about power. The build quality is robust, designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor use while remaining lightweight and comfortable to handle.

In my experience, Ants on a Melon's RGB Critter is simply the best product for the job. It's not just a tool; it's a partner in my creative process, helping me to paint the night with light and color. If you're a light painting artist looking to elevate your work, I cannot recommend the RGB Critter highly enough. It's a game-changer, a light show in the palm of your hand, and an essential addition to any light painting toolkit.

Ants On A Melon Modular System

I have recently received a number of Ants on a Melon Modular system tools. Being an earlyish adopter of the system, not Kickstarter but soon after, I have always been impressed with the quality of the tools. These are no different. The build quality of the adapters is excellent as is the quality of the sabres that I have received. The ability to combine different textures is amazing. Really looking forward to trying the multiple combinations that are now possible, sabres and blades together. The shortened tools, i.e. 8 inch length also makes it easier to use the tools in smaller spaces. Great from my point of view as I will be able to try things in my small garage studio space in the summer months without hitting the roof. Delivery to the UK was quick. All here within 7 days of ordering. Honestly not much difference between UPS and DHL in terms of delivery time, as I have used both options. Both offer really good tracking. If you are looking at these and thinking will I try these? I would say if you have a Critter 2 and you are a light painter expand your toy box with the modular options. If you are new to light painting and looking a the Critter 2 the modular option give you great entry into lots of toys.

Always creative

I now have collected a variety of AOM accessories for my light painting photography, and have shared with others in local clubs and these things are a huge hit with all involved. I will be using the new longer Sol Sablers for a light painting workshop with a local photography club this Friday and we have a lot of eager members that want to see, touch and use the RGB Critter and tools. .

New to Light Painting

I'm new to light painting and purchased the sol saber as my first light painting tool. I have to say I love the fluid movement of the saber and the versatility to make so many different shapes depending on how you move it. I look forward to using it more along with other light painting tools from ants on a melon!

Requested to provide a review.

Unfortunately, until the app is available for android devices, I am unable to use the BT and it sits dormant, gathering dust! I have Critters they are awesome, and I hope the BT's are equally good..... time will tell.
