Great flashlight

I've joined as an affiliate for AOAM because that's how much I love this flashlight! It's incredibly easy to set up and pair to your phone with the app and the color and pattern possibilities are endless. My favorite is the DIY option to create your own custom playlists.

Thanks, Angie! Glad the DIY playlists have been a hit for you, that's a fun way to make the Critter your own.

10 years of quality

I have been using Ants on a Melon bitwhips for 10 years. Currently, I have 4 RGB Critters and I love them. They are consistently brighter than any other on the market and have the option for various durable attachments. You can program your own color combinations and the battery life is exceptional. I personally am rather violent with my whips as I use them as doubles and they survive beautifully. Recently. I have become an affiliate, but I have been sharing my obsession for Ants on a Melon for ages. You will not regret your purchase!

Thanks, Amanda! Glad your four Critters keep up with doubles whip work, and ten years of BitWhips with us is a good long run.

Fricken awesome is all I have to say!

Fricken awesome us all I have to say. My first attachment for the Critter which led to getting whips, orbs, sabers. ALL are amazing. Rope is a bit more of a work out.

Thanks, Shawna! Glad the Jupiter Rope was a good first Critter attachment, and you're right, rope takes a bit more arm work than the whips.

Magic behind the movement

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. 🖤

Thanks, Liana!

Glad the Critter is working well in your light whip, setting its modes to match your music is a great way to use it.

The most versatile tool for light painting

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.

Thanks, Rich! Good to hear the Critter BT and the app work well for your light painting after ten years of trying other torches.

Seems sturdy and durable -- time will tell

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.

Hi there! Thanks for the kind words about our RGB Critter BT Light Engine. We appreciate your feedback and will consider your suggestion for music programming in future updates. Happy spinning!

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.

Thanks so much, David! It’s awesome to hear how your light-painting journey started with a hardware-store DIY and eventually led you to our Light Painting Tubes. We’re so glad you found us and hope you keep creating! 🙌

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

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!

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! 💚

BitWhip Travel Case
Nicole Kalinski (Chicago, US)
Best whip case available!

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.

Thank you so much, Nicole! We’re thrilled you’re loving the case and that it gives you peace of mind when storing your whip. And thank you for the thoughtful suggestions on the double zipper and strap—we really appreciate the feedback and will keep it in mind for future designs! 🍉❤️
