I’m looking to pick up a cheap LED yoyo to play with while waiting for a local night parade to start. Deciding between the Duncan Pulse and a MYY D5 (aka yostar light). I know the Pulse changes colors as it spins which is cool. But the D5 looks like you’re throwing a fireball—at least in the videos I’ve seen. Also cool.

My question is for anyone who has seen both in person. _ **Which one is brighter?** _

Grab a LimeLight! They are fun with lots of color. Good response system too.

Nah. I just want one. Four young kids and one art major income tends to limit the discretionary funds. 😁

big difference is do you want it to light up when it spins or have a switch to push in to turn it on and off?

D5 has a switch and the pulse lights up on spin.

Thats the biggest difference in these yoyos.

Weight is also a difference. The D5 is 59 grams.
