Um, you really need to see some of the stuff I can do. I make my own fire props so when I get to spin flow toys it looks amazing but it is really fast. I managed to snap about 3 flow staffs. 2 in 1 weekend. Never the lights just the staff I need a stronger material to spin. PVC pipe tens to work better.

@Mypringles - are you referring to the staff connectors? either way email us directly. all non-electronic parts that broke will be replaced for free. we would like to redesign the connectors, but they are the best we can do now. email us for tips on how to make them last longer.

It was a try staff.

@Mypringles - that's too bad that you don't have them anymore. We would have replaced them and sent you tips on how to keep them going for longer. We've wanted to make them differently, but were doing the best we could with the resources we had. Many people use them without problems, but they are not indestructible and we will always honor our warranty when they do break.

I watched plenty of videos, but still don't find the answer. If I want to turn the light on or change mode I must take off the cap remove lights from tube and switch it, or there is a way to access the button without removing flowlights?

[flowtoys]

at some point, we'll have a way of turning on/off, changing modes form the outside, but this is best we can do now w/ the resources we have at the price the lights are and given their versatiity.

Performance art is so lucky to have a company like this. they know what we want because they are a part of our world. no corporate fat cats capitalizing on an art. its artists helping artists. I am happy to buy and use flowlights and I know so many others that are too.

@BlissfulOasis - we'll be offering kits in the not too distant future .. hopefully before the end of the year, but might be beginning 2011 :)

@flowtoys The connectors snap after a day of use. I am talking about them being snapped ah the thick parts of the plastic. I have to bring electrical tape to keep them from flying apart. They need t be so much stronger. The tube itself snapped once so, maybe just a little bit of ticking at the ends. But the connector, maybe make it solid, or an other sheath, to reinforce it. or metal pins. I do not have my staffs anymore though or I would send them in.

@basilolo - yes you have to take out the lights to access the buttons - i think all the videos show this step. some people drill holes in their tubes but we don't offer this as dirt and moisture can get in the tubes. we have 2 sets of rechargeable batteries per light and usually turn them all on and leave them on until we're done playing. if we're staying up for longer than 6-7 hrs, we switch them all out together when they start going out.
