If you do a search for krill you will find that it has been discussed in great detail in other threads. But to sum it up for you, they are neat, but fragile and contain electronics that break easily.PLURCRD

Hey Blackbird. www.adventurekit.com They stock everything you want and more. And they accept Switch and Solo (which is always a bonus in my book).And, as far as I remember, they dont charge you for postage in the UK neither One of my fave shops.....------------------C@ntusDance beneath the stars, we sound system, we the collective, with a open heart, we the solution - should be respected!

So many toys so little money....If i could only afford all the ideas I have had over the last couple of years, I am sure at least one of them would have really worked great . Someone needs to get together a fundraiser for new party ideas, so we can all chip in a couple of bucks and figure out which ones work.

I don't own any of these, but it's an idea. Found them at firebox.com: Ultra LED Krill Lamp. 6 different colours. £25 each, but takes AA batteries so unlike some other alternatives won't cost a bomb every 8 hours of use!Probably heavy and hard but if you put a couple of foam strips around them maybe that'd help.

I really like my sauce lights. Yeah the battery cover breaks off... you should just wrap them in tape when you take them out of the box... but otherwise they are perfect and pretty durable.The fact that you can make them do different things is awesome, lately I've just been keeping them on a set color of my choice but do like the fact that I can have them change/strobe/alternate etc. They wrap well. They are between wick and glowstick in weight. And best of all, the run on a single AA battery which I have yet to need to replace...Yeah, they hurt when you hit yourself but not of beaming poi scale. Yeah, I'm sure if you hit them together enough times they'll break. Yeah, they are $30 a pair from toysrus.com but I love em... And I just used em perfectly at a party last night where I dressed up as a flight deck guy with the light up batons to wave in airplanes.

Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

If you're into electronics and a bit of hacking, you can put together one of those "light gloves" using a some ingenuity. I had a friend do it and the results were quite nice. He used a batting glove, some 1in diameter pvc piping which housed the small bulbs.Wiring from the blubs went into a battery pack that would be turned on or off using a smitch. He is still working on the types of lights used and battery pack weight. I'm trying to get him on super-bright white LEDs with rechargeable batteries..Another cool non-fire toy that I have actually had fun with are ribbon sticks- the kind you would see gymnasts using in rhythmic competition. I make them out of various kinds of ribbons, sticks, etc, and have even purchased some in the past, too. They're fun for the big kids and little kids.chaos

Hey bassjunkie and welcome and all... If you do a "search" function you'll probably find all of the information that you need to find "sauce lights" as they've been discussed before...Mainly:https://www.homeofpoi.com/ubb/Forum7/HTML/000262.html
