Your product is still in “try-me” mode. To fix: turn your light off. Press it on again, but this time keep pressing until the light flashes rapidly. Continue to hold until the light goes off. Hooray, you are now ready for action! (Alternative remedy: remove and replace the batteries.)
Our products require two CR2016 3V batteries.

All push-button Flashflight discs and the Dog Discuit: Pry off the cap (screwdriver, key, or knife work well), take out the light module, replace batteries, then re-assemble. Be sure the cap is securely affixed before hucking it across the field.
Meteorlights: Pry out the plug w/ a screwdriver, take out the light module, replace the batteries, then re-assemble. Be sure to give the plug a firm WHACK on a solid surface before heading out to play again - this prevents blow-outs.
All ___Lit products: pry off the cap, take out the light module, replace batteries, then re-assemble. Be sure the cap is securely affixed before getting distracted by something else.
One set of batteries will last approximately 20-25 hours. In sub-freezing temps, customers have told us their batteries don't last as long. Also, we have found that many of our products arrive home from the store with less-than-fresh batteries because so many people fiddle with them on the shelf. So if you're dark after a seemingly short period of time after purchasing, please try new batteries before sending us an email asking us for help!
Indeed, our sister site, GearSense, sells replacement parts for our products. So if you've lost a cap, battery holder, or plug, head on over there and stock up.
Definitely! All of our products float and are water-resistant. However, they are not waterPROOF, so please give them a little TLC if they get wet. All you need to do is pop off the battery cap, dry off the batteries and wires/circuitry, and air dry. Beware: salt water corrodes the little batteries, so take the time to dry them off so they don't get all nasty. (If it's too late, no big deal. Just discard the batteries, wipe everything off w/ a clean cloth, pop in some new batteries, and you'll be good to go.)
Yes, it's heavier than the usual 175-gram ultimate disc. However, we found that the 185-gram prototypes flew farther and straighter than our 175-gram prototype discs, which were actually very unstable. In addition, we found the 185-gram version could slice through the wind a lot better than the lighter one. Skeptical? Give it a try! If you're unsatisfied, send it back for a full refund.
Good question! We had problems seeing one another as we tested the prototypes. So we made a cool little "headband of light" called a TaskLit. It's NOT a headlamp - headlamps are too bright. TaskLits are illuminated using the same single-LED lighting mechanism used in a Flashflight. They make it possible to see your buddy up to 300 yards away and are available in red or white. We even sell a little game set that includes two TaskLits and one Flashflight.
Of course!! We've put together a guide explaining some easy-to-learn disc games, from ultimate to frickets to disc croquet. Check it out here: Disc Games Guide.
Probably - at last count, we had product in 1500 stores (yowzers!). Feel free to email the and politely ask her where the heck you can get one in your neck of the woods OR order online.
By all means! Please contact us w/ any retail suggestions... if the store currently doesn't carry the Flashflight and ends up carrying our stuff, we'll gladly send you a freebie in gratitude. When you email the store info to us, be sure to include your shipping address.
We aren't so gentle, either, which is why we got into this business! We wanted to create fun light-up toys that would last and last and last with NORMAL use, a little abuse, and some new batteries now and then. So we designed a tough, resilient lighting mechanism, chose LEDs that last thousands of hours, and researched the best plastics that would allow us to stay out as long as we wanted to. And believe us when we tell you - these toys are tough!!!
The Flashflight is made with a polyethylene material. We wanted the plastic to be a little softer than standard ultimate discs because it's generally colder after the sun sets and the softer plastic is easier on receiving hands. This particular polymer also gives the disc a little more "bendability" as well. It doesn't crease like other discs do when you "taco" it - it actually lays flat again.The smaller discs, __Lit products, and Meteorlight balls are made with a polyurethane material. This type of plastic is soft, flexible, durable, translucent, and slightly stickier, making these products easier for all hand sizes to catch, throw, or handle at any time of day.
We hope you don't get blinded! When we designed our toys, we did everything we could to prevent such unfortunate incidents. The LEDs we use are classified as "super bright," but we only use one per product. The light gets diffused evenly throughout the plastic, which causes the entire thing to glow. Trust us, our toys will not blind you. (Note: I am a total klutz and have poor night vision, and even I can successfully play with these things. Miraculous!)
The Flashflight discs have an array of nine fiber optics that radiate from the center of the disc. These fibers carry the light out to the rim of the disc, thereby making the disc easier to see when it's flying toward you. Bonus feature: the fiber optics also make the disc look really, really cool. Check out the disc simulator to see what I mean.
Yes. The red LED is the brightest, the green LED is the next brightest, and the blue and Disc-o LEDs are the least bright. People who want to really throw far tend to choose the red or green products if you're going to be playing in close proximity to your friends, we suggest going with your personal preference. You can check out the disc simulator to view each one in action.
Absolutely - we sell one unlit, unadorned, white disc at the moment. It's called the Ultimate Disc because it weighs 175 grams and rivals the best ultimate discs available on the market. Our engineers are avid ultimate freaks, and they looooove this disc.
Certainly - all of our discs make a perfect canvas for your artwork! We require a minimum order of 36. For more information, please contact us.
The list is quite extensive, but here are a few of our favorite unsporty uses for some of our products:

Please Note: We use the term "Flying Disc" to describe some of our products due to the fact that the commonly used term "Frisbee" is a registered trademark of Wham-O.
Wham-O, who had acquired the rights to the "Pluto Platter", adopted the name "Frisbie" as it was discovered the term was already being used for the flying discs. A spelling amendment to avoid trademark infringement gave birth to the name "Frisbee". Read More
