An Absolute Game Changer for Light Whip Flow Arts!

I genuinely wouldn’t be an affiliate for Ants on a Melon if I didn’t believe in the incredible creativity, quality, and potential behind their products! The RGB Critter Light Whip Engine is such an exciting piece of equipment for anyone looking to elevate their light whip experience and bring their artistic vision to life.

As a light whip artist, I love the creative possibilities that come with being able to experiment with colors, lighting effects, and different visual aesthetics to complement music and create something truly unique. Ants on a Melon has a special place in the flow arts community, and I’m genuinely excited to be part of that community as a new affiliate and proud to support a company that inspires creativity and gives artists more ways to express themselves through light and movement. If you’re curious about light whip flow arts or looking to explore your creativity in a whole new way, Ants on a Melon is absolutely a name worth knowing. 🖤

I have been working as a light painting photographer for over 10 years, I have purchased many torches (and had a go at making my own) and can say with absolute confidence the Critter BT is the most versatile. The app is fabulous, so simple to use and very reliable.

best fiber optic whip money can buy, love these! also, amazing customer service

Such a beautiful toy, smooth with tons of gorgeous effects while in flow. The different colors are a lot of fun to play with through the app. I'm excited to purchase additional accessories, I'm extremely impressed.

Love the bag and the space in has with taking up little space

Works exactly as advertised. I screwed in a D-Ring so that I could connect a cord for swinging orbs.

I hope I don't have to use the warranty, but I feel like my new flow prop is in safe hands! Ants on a melon has had nothing but excellent communication, super fast shipping, and high quality goods!

Beautiful vibrant colors, the modes are absolutely stunning! Shipping was super fast and communication has been nothing but top notch! I can't wait to play with it more and add more parts to pair with my critter 💕 I'm so happy to be part of this flow fam!

I've used it a couple of times now and works great

Seems sturdy and durable -- time will tell. I like that you can lock the settings, otherwise they keep changing because I hit the buttons when I spin the equipment. One improvement I'd love to see: being able to program the light setting to music.

Great light, so much fun!

Amazing customer service, incredible customization, smooth flow!

Great fun, works really well.

I made my first light tubes with material from the hardware store. That was just the start. Than I saw a YouTube video and I was so impressed with the light shapers.

Easy to use right out of the box. Ants On Melon Tools are meant to last. The RGB Critter Flashlight is brighter than the others I have used.

Super nice design, sturdy, carries light very well.

As always this is above all other light whips, better than glofx for sure. Brighter colors, more patterns and longer fibers. I am constantly promoting Ants on a Melon and absolutely love the flow it provides. <3

The Critter is great customer service is another story.
Sent two emails no Love the light.

I previously left 4 stars. Now that I have gotten used to it and the app I change it to 5. This thing is fricken cool!

Best whip case available! It's hard and sturdy, easy to zip. I'm not worried about my whip at all in this case. It has a zipper inside for smaller items too like extra batteries. I put an air tag inside mine too.

Only advice would be if it could be a double zipper design, it would make avoiding the fibers just a little easier. I also wish it had a place for a strap for easier carrying.

I got the 200 fibre end glow whip kit. I'm brand new with the whip but not with flow toys.
The whip is tricky, videos online make it look much more simple than it is lol. I have gotten tangled a bunch, and not one fibre has broken on me as a result, yet. I've also dropped it and it was fine.
The light charges up pretty fast and I love the rainbow colour code for how much charge it has. Someone told me you have to long press the off switch to actually turn it all the way off, otherwise it'll go into standby, so that was helpful.

The app is a learning curve, programming your own light shows. But The pre-programmed ones are very good and there's a good mix of speeds and colour flows as standard as well as solids. I do wish I could copy colours from the pre-set combos rather than trying to find a match on the colour wheel in the app. I want a pink flow like the end of flashback (I think).

The light with the whip on it is super bright. I've never had another whip to compare to but I'd say it's brighter than my Lumo pro glow poi. Light travels well all the way to the ends of the fibre as well.

Handle is weighty but not so much as to be a problem. And the grip is good, I haven't felt it slip at all.

I also got the case, which I recommend. I don't know how you'd store this or transport it safely otherwise.

I was looking to mate up a 5 gallon bucket full of photography light painting tools that all took a 3/4" pvc male thread. This high quality aluminum part gave me the part I would have needed to make. I just opened up a pvc 1/2" bushing to let this adapter slide inside and then tapped 3 little thumb screw threads onto the 3/4" male pvc hose end part and now have a simple way to use all of those old gizmos I have been collecting for years.

I bought this as a gift for my son and he has really taken to this art form and has already produced some amazing things. It is a great art medium and doesn’t have any significant barriers for entry. It was a little challenging for me to decide what to get him as I was completely unaware of the method behind the art, but I asked him for help and ended up getting the perfect gift. Thank you.
