It's not necessary, but it will improve the "fluid" feel of the fibers as they wrap around your body. We recommend using the "Swiss Navy" silicone lubricant. See our tutorial on "Light Whip Cleaning & Lubrication" for more.

Product details

The BitWhip is a festival-ready fiber optic whip with a 360° rotating bearing for tangle-free spins and a grippy handle for secure control. Its soft yet durable end-glow fibers (up to 5.5 ft) shine brightly, creating stunning light trails. Powered by the RGB Critter BT (light source), it delivers vibrant colors and effects—easily controlled with or without the app, no button combos needed.

One of our favorite features, and one no other flow prop offers, is the ability to transfer modes from the Ants on a Melon app to your BitWhip, letting you access your custom modes even when you’re not connected. This gives you the freedom to perform without staying linked to the app—perfect for live shows and festivals!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is everything I need included in this product?

How durable are the fibers?

The fiber optics used for this product (Standard version) are high-grade 0.75mm end glow fiber optic cables and they are very durable and will withstand all kinds of rugged use.
We have been sourcing fiber optics from the same manufacturer for over 10 years now and our fiber optic products are widely considered the most durable on the market.
Sparkle Fibers show tiny twinkling lights along the length of the end glow fibers. They are more prone to breaking. Please be gentle with the Sparkle Fiber version of the Fiber Optic Costume Kit to avoid unwanted fiber breakage.

What are Sparkle fibers?

What's the difference between the 140, 200, and 300 fiber options?

All fiber heads are superb for Light Whipping! Select higher fiber count heads for off-body whipping, rope dart style & lacing/tracing. The extra weight & thickness provide a superior fiber grip and movements similar to staff spinning.
We recommend using lower fiber counts for more tech related flow. Lower fiber counts offer greater flexibility and are perfect for creating shapes such as triangles, lines, & circles.

Great whip! App is a bit limiting/wondering if flashing can be faster

The app could use a bit of updating, I'd love to take a look if yall want help haha I do software.

Was wondering if the critter is capable of cycling colors more quickly? It'd be nice to be able to replicate the persistence of vision effect another lightwhip brand has :) Would love to mess with y'all's app and try to replicate it haha.

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for the great feedback and for the offer to help with the app — we appreciate it!

To answer your question: yes, you can increase the speed of any mode. When the RGB Critter BT is disconnected from the app, just hold the Arrow button to increase the speed of the mode you're currently viewing.

If you're using the app, head to the My Playlists section, tap the three white dots next to any mode, and select 'Edit Mode'. That will take you to the DIY page, where you can adjust the speed from 1–100%.

We don’t allow speeds higher than 100% because at that point, the LEDs would output constant light, which can look washed out and make effects hard to see.

Let us know if you ever want to dive deeper or have ideas to share. We’re always open to suggestions — especially from someone with a software background!

AMAZING!!

This whip is absolutely amazing! I love the sparkle! The fact that it has a lifetime warranty for so little money is fantastic.

Amazing products

I love this line of products so much I already ordered a saber attachment! Beautiful colors & quality. The handle is a little bigger compared to others, the app has been very easy to use. Love!

Best purchase I’ve made in a while

I love my light whip – it’s seriously awesome! The colors are vibrant, the patterns are mesmerizing, and it flows so smoothly when I dance with it. It makes me feel so free and connected to the music, and every time I bring it out at a rave or show, people stop and stare. The battery lasts a good while, and it’s easy to recharge and switch modes. Whether I’m freestyling or just vibing out, it adds a whole new level of energy to my flow. Definitely one of my favorite rave toys!

Immediately fell in love with this!!!

I learned on glofx which isnt bad but antsonamelon is in every way superior in my experience. Fibers, fiber options, handle, grip, programability, all superior to my previous one
