FLOWLIGHT - FULL SPECTRUM :: LED LIGHTSTICK
The owlight-FS serves as a versatile, interchangeable pixel of light in the Flowtoys Modular
System of poi, stas, juggling and martial ow props.
Clip a owlight to your person, backpack or bicycle. Use it as a ashlight or for ambient
lighting, while you are at a festival, camping, or at home. With a huge range of modes and color
schemes, the possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
FEATURES
Bright: 3 regulated ultrabright RGB LEDs (9 LEDs total) provide maximum bright-
ness for entire battery life.
Long lasting: 7-24 hour run-time in most modes!
Durable: time-tested high impact polycarbonate shell, rugged circuit board, and
replaceable battery provide a lifetime of service.
Easy to use: intuitive one-button operation. Easy battery access, convenient
attachment points.
Sustainable: replaces chemical glowsticks, runs on 1 AAA battery, rechargeable,
repairable, built to last.
Low battery mode: blinks and goes into low-power mode to continue providing
useable light for hours.
Battery charge indicator: hold button while o to see the charge level of your
battery.
Favorite mode recall: save you 10 favorite patterns in page 4, you can even
adjust them and rearrange them!
State-of-the-art: Advanced micro-controller is super-ecient and powerful for
complex functionality and patterns.
Beautiful design: carefully designed to optimize light distribution, durability,
functionality, look and feel.

OPTIMIZING YOUR GLOW – UNDERSTANDING YOUR BATTERIES
The owlight runs on a single AAA battery. It amplies and regulates the voltage – this means
you can use common rechargeable batteries and your owlights will run at full brightness for
the entire life of the battery, and not dim over the course of the night. Using higher-voltage
disposable alkaline batteries will not increase the brightness, or runtime.
How long does a battery last? This depends a lot on the mode you are in. With freshly
charged NiMH rechargeables, owlights normally last for 7-24 hours in most modes, 2-4 hours
in page 3 “performance” modes, and 1-2 hours in “bolder” and “bold” (all white modes).
Runtimes with disposable alkaline batteries are typically lower, and cheapo disposable
batteries may last less than 30 minutes, as they cannot handle the amperage required.
How long will a rechargeable battery hold its charge? Typical NiMH rechargeables hold a
good charge for a few weeks. After that they may have less than 50% of their charge left, so
we recommend charging your batteries within a week of any important uses, like festivals,
parties or performances.
New feature - charge-level indicator: Hold the button while the light is o to see the
charge-level indicator. Green is at least 80% charged, red is at least 80% dead, orange and
other in-between shades are approximate and indicate about 50%. This is intended for NiMH
batteries only - a “green” reading for alkaline disposable batteries may actually mean 50% or
less, due to the voltage dierence of the chemistry.
