Independent Reviews

Photofocus.com (Editor's Choice Award)

  • "Flow art, light drawing, and light painting of subjects are different branches of the same glow tree. And the RGB Critter BT is flexible enough to do all three very well. Despite not being designed for light painting subjects, the RGB Critter BT shines brightly above the competition. The cost of the light is very fair for what is easily one of the most comfortable, highest-quality RGB flashlights currently on the market. The functionality of this light is heads and shoulders above its predecessor for both ease of use, nearly infinite color selection, and the ability to save custom colors and lists. While it has its flaws for light painting subjects, it’d be impossible not to recommend it highly. In fact, given its price point, it earns an Editor’s Choice."

Stephen Knight Photography

  • "The latest version of the the best flashlight for light painting photography (creating light trails) for the 3rd year running."

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.

Game changer!!!

I've been whipping for the last 6 years or so and have tried all the whips. While I lived the ease of use of some brands and the versatility of others, none make the experience as friendly as AOAM does now! Not only can you customize your patterns and colors but you can import them so they're readily available to use without your phone! Wowowow. Also, the buttons glow?!? The fiber to handle weight ratio is phenomenal, making isolations easy and the rubber outside gives an extra cushion when you eventually bonk yourself on the head or launch it at your ceiling fan. I couldn't be happier.... Unless I had 2! Thanks for putting so much love and thought into the Critter AOAM!!

Love from a customer who'll never stop dancing.

It took me a minute to get the hang of it because the filaments kept snagging; but it is high quality and I love how bright it is.
