So I participate in a Bike Party event once a month where at each stop we chill/party for 45 minutes to an hour and the Flow Arts come out in full force. The yoyo is sadly not represented. I’ve tried throwing - but in the dark have a hard time seeing my yoyo and my string - and that doesn’t attract any interest either. So - looking for small, battery powered, blacklight options that people have used and know work well. I’ve considered a blacklight headlight and I’ve also seen a pod I could sit on the ground and shine up at me - but not sure if either alone will be good enough. Also - why is there not more BL reactive throws out there? what’s your favorite throw in this category? Thanks! ---

Any neon plastic yoyo will do the trick, it doesn’t need to be glow in the dark if you have a Blacklight ![IMG_4595](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/d/e/2deee7b967b3df99f87c89ebe253e8d840c5ac9d.jpeg) ---

Ended up snagging a UV Green OD Wyvern. Thanks for the info which led to a rabbit hole and rabbit chase. 😜 ---

Yeah that is always the hard oart of being a fan of yoyo in black light, that in rhe wikd it is hard to see. I do think light up yoyos have more potential in the wild, though. The probkem is you cant light the string. A portable lantern or something with a black light could work. ---

I’ve been contemplating getting one of the Yomega Spectrum light up ones. I usually close the store I work at, so I end up standing outside after dark throwing and I think it would look reeaaallly cool doing my looping tricks. I’d love to hear some recommendations about the ones you’ve gotten/tried if you’ve got the time. 😊 I’ve heard good things about the glow in the dark Freehand as well, but haven’t tried it either. ---

The One Drop Wyvern with UV Reactive Cerakote is amazing!!! I’m so excited about it. I have a MagicYoYo Aurora light up - it’s cool. My batteries have died so I need to get new batteries - and I still have the string issue (not being able to see it). I just snagged a Blacklight Headlamp that seems to work okay from my perspective. I’m not sure yet how it will look from the “Audience” perspective. - [COSOOS 2IN1 UV Headlamp Flashlight Black Light, Rechargeable LED Hand Free Blacklight 395nm Mini Headlight with White & Ultraviolet Light, Detector for Pet Dog Cat Urine Stain,Bed Bug,Scorpions Finder - Amazon.com](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CG5RHCSL?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1) I also picked up a nice battery powered 4" cube blacklight (60W version). - [WINNIW Rechargeable Black Light, Dimmable UV Light, 120 LED Ultraviolet Blacklight, Suitable for Neon Glow Party, Halloween, Body Painting, UV Paint, Fluorescent Effect - Amazon.com](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CSD43TH1?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1) So far I’m happy with them in my office with the lights off. I may snag another cube. ---

So I’m back to my own thread here…I don’t know if I’m allowed to post a link to a FB Reel - but here is a video of my setup in use in an Abandoned building. 2 4" Cube Lights and a headlamp. the Wyvern in the UV Cerakote is AWESOME! Now I need a UV Reactive Counterweight. Looking for any suggestions. > **[28 reactions · 3 comments | Throwing some Yo under Blacklight.

I just picked up the new Fenix E06R and it’s working great for a portable light. I got it for other reasons but works for both charging up my GitD Freehand and just general playing light. ---

I think it works! I think there are some Candy Dice that are reactive, or you buy a Glow in the dark Freehand one, or one of the neon colors ---

I have a pair of the Yomega Spectrum EX, and they are soooo much fun in the dark. The regular Spectrum is a Fireball (transaxle) with single color lights inside. The Spectrum EX is a Raider EX (ball bearing and a set of spacers you can use the adjust the gap) with multi-color LEDs.
