So I've known about Nite Ize for a while, they make some nice a href=http://www.zbattery.com/zbattery/niteize-utilityholsters.html>knife pouches and maglite accessories. Now that LED's are getting cheaper and more popular, they started dabbling in them. Boy was that a good move.
First item was the Flashflight, a lighted frisbee. At 185 grams it's only 10 heavier than regulation, it uses fiber optics to get the light to the edge of the disc, so an accidental knife won't kill anything. Above all else, it's simple, a battery, an LED and a cap. Twist the cap and it connects the circuit. No electronics to ruin or 9V batteries to short if it gets wet.
I bought my first one of them for about $20 plus shipping, from that store. Then they went and really expanded the line for all the other accessories. Finally they made a flashflight in blue, so I now have 2 lighted discs. I picked up half a dozen of these puppies for a game my brother and his friends play. The games usually started in the evening and it gets hard to see your teammates. Unfortunately work schedules precluded us from trying them out...
Till tonight.
Granted we were only tossing the discs around tonight, and not playing hooligans full out, (I will explain it if you're nice, it really needs to be seen) but dear lord, it was fuckin amazing. a blue and red frisbee floating through the darkness (overcast) each of the 3 of us were wearing a pair...then I came up with the idea of putting them on Frank's hands and feet since he was the most athletic and acrobatic. Boy was that an amazing site. My parents both came out to see what exactly was going on in their yard. Hopefully I'll get some pictures someday or get some video of it for yall to see.
Just incredible. I need to get so many more of those markers. And for anyone that wants a lighted frisbee, BUY THIS ONE, whichever color you like, they're well balanced and you probably won't notice the extra weight. Worth every penny, both times. Just don't try tipping them; that will cause the battery(ies), LED, and cap to scatter across the dark lawn.
