WRITE REVIEW
Jupiter Rope is like EL wire on steroids: brighter, thicker, far more durable, and capable of any color. A super-flexible side-glow cable housed in a rotating bearing directs light out the sides, so you can light up a bike, paint with light, or perform with it as a flow prop.
Highlights
Compatible with all RGB Critter Light Engines (sold separately).
Common questions
Jupiter Rope Accessory or the Jupiter Rope Kit?
This is the rope on its own, for an RGB Critter you already own. If you don't have one yet, the Jupiter Rope Kit ($169.95) comes with the RGB Critter BT that lights it.
I did a demo about a week ago to the Grants Pass Photo club in Oregon, and it was well-received. I'm looking forward to working more with it!
I love the difference look that the Jupiter rope had in comparison to the bitwhip. I like to use it in a more intimate environment with a large crowd. I also love how some patterns are way better on the rope compared to the whip.
Jupiter Rope · 6 ft
A side-glow cable that twists onto the RGB Critter and lights up end to end. Wrap it around a bike, lace it through a backpack or spin it as a flow prop.
Super flexible, and it sends light out along its whole length, not just the tip.
The cable sits in a bearing, so it moves freely as you spin it or ride with it.
A scratch resistant sleeve where it meets the light, made to be used.
Twists onto any RGB Critter light engine (sold separately) for 16.7 million colors.
No phone, no pairing. Switch it on and they are already there.

Thanks so much for the update, Shawna! We’re thrilled you gave it some time to get familiar with the app and discovered how much fun the Critter can be. Appreciate the 5 stars! 💚

Hi Andrea, thank you so much for sharing this.
I’m glad to hear the Jupiter Rope was a hit at your demo and that you’re having fun working with it. That sounds like a great presentation.
Indigo :)
At first I was not getting images I liked, but I kept at it, and found if you wrap the rope in a sloppy circle or even overlapping, you can get some really cool images! I like it now! ;-) All these images are only the Jupiter Rope nothing else.
I have the 6ft version for light painting, and love the length and and soft light it creates with the RGBCritter for making an entire backdrop of light! Have used with models and just for pure light drawing. Being able to swivel it above your head in painting makes it easy to create smooth, even waves of color. Looking forward to discovering even more ways to make it shine. I liked the brightness at the end for these shots, but you can also put a bit of gaffer tape around the base if you prefer not to have that for some shots.
I recently added a short, 3-foot Jupiter rope to my ever-growing collection of AOAM toys. (I already own a 6-foot version.) I found the shorter one easier to handle on this particular evening as I had a critter in each hand. I might be mistaken, but I felt as though it was brighter through the length than my 6-foot version as the color has a longer length to travel. The rope is obviously the curved color in the attached images.
I love the difference look that the Jupiter rope had in comparison to the bitwhip. I like to use it in a more intimate environment with a large crowd. I also love how some patterns are way better on the rope compared to the whip.
Hi Randi! We're thrilled to hear you love the Jupiter Rope and how it enhances your experiences. Thanks for sharing your feedback and happy tying!
Awesome thanks
So I made my 1st purchase with ant on a melon for the rgb critter BT along with a couple hundred dollars of their accessories including bit whip,Jupiter rope,fiber optics,couple sabers and different connectors. I was so excited I scheduled a light painting get together for the LAST DAY OF JULY being told us android users would have our app late July,BUT WE KNOW HOW THAT TURNED OUT.... so guess I'll make the next meet up SOME TIME IN AUGUST.....

Have not received yet
Have not gotten a chance to flow much with it yet but I love how bright it is. Its going to be a lot of fun. Kind of thinking of getting the 3 ft. For doing doubles.
Awesome it can be used in so many ways 😁👍🏻
Is it possible to get one with a connector on each side?
You bet! We just added a new version of the Jupiter Rope that allows you to connect a RGB Critter Flashlight on both ends of the Jupiter Rope. Look for the "Double-Sided" version in the drop-down menu.
