These illumination devices, often employed in performance arts and recreational activities, project beams of light that emulate the appearance of a flexible, luminous strand. Typically composed of a handle containing LED light sources and a fiber optic bundle, these units produce a dynamic display of colorful light patterns and effects. The user manipulates the handle to create flowing shapes and movements with the emitted light.
The increasing popularity of these light-based tools stems from their visual appeal and versatility in creating captivating performances. Their ability to produce a spectrum of colors and intricate light patterns provides a visually stimulating experience for audiences. Historically, performers might have relied on pyrotechnics or traditional light sources, but these devices offer a safer, more controllable, and equally impressive alternative.
