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.

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.

Beautiful whip!

This is by far the prettiest whip I have ever seen. I love the sparkle aspect to it. There are so many color combinations on the app! I love that they offer a lifetime warranty!!

My favorite whip to light things up with!

Of all the brands I've tried, Ants on a Melon's Bitwhip has become my favorite light whip to perform with by far. The wide array of colors and customization options it provides are unmatched, and it's the only whip I've had that features a sound reactive mode. On top of that, it has been my most durable and long lasting whip, in terms of both the flashlight handle and the whip head fibers. And their customer support team is always quick to reply to any questions I have. Whether you're interested in light whips or any of their other many attachments, I wholeheartedly recommend AOAM to anyone interested in artfully lighting things up!

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!
