quote:b please. you cant be talking about standard sized sticks, photons are much lighter than they are. even if you are, the photon's smaller size would still allow for greater speed since there isn't as much wind drag. if your arm's cant handle the strain of photons, go twirl cotton puffs under a blacklight.
1. They're alot heavier then glowstix
quote:fair enough, but i think there are ample solutions to safeguard yourself against the occasional mishap. tape and/or bubble wrap sounds like a great idea to me.
2. They break REALLY easily
quote:so since you can't tie a knot it makes these lights a bad idea? might i refer you to tieaknot.com for some help...
3. The strings often come lose and your lights fly off and hit sum1 or sumthing and breaks em
quote:are you serious?perhaps the lighter weight would be a factor here, in which case you can add small weights to your setup, but the length of the tethers is determined by the user and has nothing to do with the light itself.
4. You can't do certain stalls because of it's lenghth
quote:hmm, 10-14 hours of solid twirling. you must be the twirling MASTA. id say that even the most cracked-out twirlmeister is going to go for no more than a cumulative total of 6 hours in one night. if you forgot to shut them off, its your own fault... m'kay?
5. In raves...the battery only lasts 10-14 hours so you must change battery every rave.
quote:fair enough.
(Battery coasts more than glowsticks)
quote:not at any reasonable brightness. 6 hours is about it for most glowsticks. if you're after a real show like i am, the 5 minute ones are good for about 20 mins, are an ugly color, and at least a buck-fifty each. i think RAVN's would still be a better bargain for your entertainment dollar. Most of this is subjective though, so im not pressing the point.
(Glowsticks last longer than battery)
quote:so learn how to wrap. i would suggest a combination of duct tape (with a cutout for the switch) to keep the unit together, and a wrap of foam rubber or bubble wrap to cushion impacts.
6. Even with a protective rubber cover you can still break them easily
quote:and glowsticks dont? i realize there is a higher density ratio for a photon, but its true for any photon style light. learn not to hit yourself, or wrap the thing as described so that it doesnt hurt itself or you.
7. If you hit yourself it hurts like a B!TCH
quote:lets hear it. i want a thorough analysis of the product before i buy. it seems that most people have concluded that these things are chincy when it comes to quality, but that doesnt mean that they're a bad idea. it just means that you've got to use your noggin before you go tearing shit up.
8. etc. etc. etc. and the list goes on...
quote:thank you for your advice, really. your opinion is duly noted. however, i can't imagine that with the right prep work, that these things couldn't be made to be reliable and strong. this would depend on who is doing it of course, but really, we're talking about duct tape and foam rubber. how hard is that?anyone that can spin fire without lighting up like a pine tree ought to be able to handle these things in plain form without destroying them.
my advice is if you really want to pay 50 bux to only practise at home, go ahead. But if you rave or swing really hard and energitic, or your a newbie, don't buy them.
quote:is there another page that im not seeing? it looks to me like you're comparing regular, single color photon's to glowsticks.twirl on...[This message has been edited by atomic (edited 06 September 2001).]
If you wanna see pix of these lights I have a website wif me doing poi. I'm doing it wif glowsticks and RAV'N lights...so you can see the difference between them...judge for yourself.
