HyperLight Vids [Updated 28-12-2006]

Very Nice! Look forward to owning a pair

Jo.

I know this may be a real bad query but i was just wondering if it would be possible to create diffrent settings like a tempo switch, plus how flexible/expensive as those fibre optic tube thingys as could the reproduce a lil bit of light up near the hands as well?

tempo switch? You mean to adjust how fast the patterns whizz past? That should be a doddle IMHO - they should be pretty flexible by the time they reach production.. if they reach production

There's no fibre optics in there, the lights just shine on some tough fabric. I've been thinking about looking into lenses to focus the light up towards the top a little more - just need some more time! The fabric used in that vid was on the long side - Mark 2 will have much a much shorter length. I want to be able to do isolations and hyperloops and everything... but I have short arms, so they've got to get shorter

cant they be simply moded to individual preference like socks?

The fabric certainly could be.. the optics probably wouldn't. If people had an idea of how long they want their poi, different optics would give the optimum light output for a given length. I guess you could even have different optics depending on how long your fabric is!

Expect to see a second, higher quality video of the Hyperlights in Action once I have returned from the US and Jon has escaped being mobbed at Fal 4

ive just viewed paradise, and im prepared to pay £50 for it to be mine.

you must let us know when we can get these!!

After seeing the real thing at Falmouth this weekend, this video does them no justice. They really are soooooooooo very very very amazing I want some!!

Mad skills, nice, quite nice.

Back from Falmouth now - what an amazing time! The response I got from everyone was really good - cheers guys Now to continue with construction of mark 3

Loved the video, and loved seeing them in real life at Falmouth even more!!

They look absolutely awesome

I want me some!!

Ta very much Hellz.. I'm putting in an order tonight for the bits and bobs to make prototype 3. Half the number of batteries and therefore, half the weight and half the height! With a bit of cunning thinking, the part that's at the end of the cone should end up about the same size as a regular fire-poi wick!

oooh half the weight sounds good, they were a little heavy for my girly arms! other than that

so when are you going to make a hyperlights staff....ooh or a hyperlights hoop

as soon as you make the staff you promised you'd make i will buy it

Nice video!

I want some toys like that!

nice light tell us when u want to sell them in germany or i come over in spring to the island to see them in real
nice work led is coming in big steps

Poi+technology ,
I like it

:R

they are some really nice glow poi! would love to see them let loose on the world!

You and me both LostSurfer They are progressing - I'm in the middle of a major hardware over-haul, but if that works out the way I'm hoping it will, going public may not be so far in the future!

Wooo! I'm sure they'll be plenty of customers on here wanting to get as glowy as glowy can be!
