Butterfly Flow Saber BT Package
The Butterfly Flow Saber has a butterfly-wing-shaped design laser cut into an opaque, reflective material. When the RGB Critter BT is attached and turned on, all you will see is the light shining through the intricate design along the blade's length. Its lightweight and durable design, combined with its bright and evenly distributed light, makes it the ultimate light saber for flow arts, combat, and light painting.
The app-controlled RGB Critter BT flashlight powers the Butterfly Flow Saber, so you just have to twist the accessory into the RGB Critter BT and turn it on.
The Butterfly Flow Saber is threaded at both ends, allowing you to connect any AOAM Accessory to the end of the Saber, including our new silicone Modular Caps, other Sabers, and even an additional RGB Critter BT with the use of our Inverse Critter Connector.
Included: This package contains the RGB Critter BT and Butterfly Flow Saber.

Comparing Our Different Saber Options
Our Saber products are designed for full contact sparing, flow arts, and light painting photography.
The Flow Saber is the base model of our Flow Saber products. It has a traditional design with light evenly distributed throughout the length of the Saber blade. All our Flow Sabers (Flow, Honeycomb, Butterfly, Hive, Stellar) have the same robust and super-durable construction and are made from impact-resistant polycarbonate tubes.
Our Limited Lifetime Warranty policy covers all of our Saber products. The only difference between them is that some of our Flow Sabers have a laser-cut design built into their blades. When turned, the Sabers with the laser-cut designs emit light in a geometric pattern along the length of the blades.
Multiple Connected Devices Issue Notice
The Ants on a Melon App enables users to simultaneously connect up to 10 RGB Critter BT Flashlights. However, it is important to note that there is a known issue with color-changing modes when multiple Critter BTs are connected to the app. The colors may not always match perfectly on the connected flashlights. This issue only applies to color-changing modes, as solid colors will always match on any number of connected RGB Critter BTs. A resolution for this known issue is expected by the end of 2024. Once the issue is resolved, you can update your RGB Critter BT using the app.
New Silicone Modular Cap
Each Butterfly Saber BT Package includes our new Modular Cap. The Modular Cap is a durable and soft silicone cap with a threaded aluminum base that easily screws onto the RGB Critter Flashlights and Modular Saber products. The Modular Cap is compatible with the RGB Critter's End Cap and all Modular Saber variations.
Connect 2 RGB Critter BTs Back-To Back
Double up 2 RGB Critter BTs with the Critter Connector, an aluminum adapter that connects two Critters back-to-back. It screws easily into the back end of the RGB Critter BT, giving you the ability to mix and match multiple accessories.

THE BEST RGB COLOUR CHANGING FLASHLIGHT AVAILABLE FOR LIGHT PAINTING PHOTOGRAPHERS AND FLOW ARTISTS.
– stephenknightphotography.com
"The RGB Critter BT improves upon what was already the best RGB colour changing flashlight available for light painting photographers and flow artists. The app control makes the Critter BT much easier to control than the Critter 2.0 once the devices are connected. Programming new or editing existing effects presets is also very easy."
PHOTOFOCUS.COM EDITOR'S CHOICE - 5/5 STARS
– Photofocus.com
Flow art, light drawing, and light painting of subjects are different branches of the same glow tree. And the RGB Critter BT is flexible enough to do all three very well. Despite not being designed for light painting subjects, the RGB Critter BT shines brightly above the competition. The cost of the light is very fair for what is easily one of the most comfortable, highest-quality RGB flashlights currently on the market. The functionality of this light is heads and shoulders above its predecessor for both ease of use, nearly infinite color selection, and the ability to save custom colors and lists. While it has its flaws for light painting subjects, it’d be impossible not to recommend it highly. In fact, given its price point, it earns an Editor’s Choice.
