high performance modular system - endless possibilities for flow
Combining versatile flowtoys LED light units – the flowlight and the capsule light – and a
series of click-in caps, connectors and tubes that are interchangeable, the modular system
enables the creation of almost any illuminated prop imaginable.
Gone are the days of wondering how to check in our 5' staffs for travel, or deciding which
flowtoys to bring to an event. Now with just a few lights, tubes, caps and leashes, you can
have 4' double staffs that quickly transform into a contact staff, a couple of 3' staffs, clubpoi,
swinging clubs, chucks and more, and everything fits in a backpack!
The world just became a little more awesome for us, because of the versatility, creativity
and fun the Flowtoys Modular System enables. We hope that it will bring more flow and
more awesome to your life!
QUICK START GUIDE: THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU FLOW
1. Do not use glowsticks or WD-40 with tubing. While polycarbonate is very strong, it breaks down
in the presence of certain esters, including those produced by chemical glowsticks, mineral spirits and
WD-40. Do NOT put chemical glowsticks into the tubes, otherwise they can become brittle and
shatter. We recommend lubricating the ends of your tubes with a touch of petroleum jelly.
2. Be careful when using your flowtoys in the presence of sand or grit!
Sand and grit can get inside your caps and connectors and make them difficult to use. If you're using
flowtoys in a sandy area, blow out/clean your caps and connectors of sand before attaching them to
the tubing. If your caps and tubes feel gritty, clean them and apply a bit of vaseline for lubrication.
3. Make sure all caps and connectors are fully secured before use! Check that the buttons in your
caps and connectors are fully clicked into the holes of the tubes.
4. Cleaning your flowtoys. If your flowcaps, connectors, crystal cases or flowmass get dirty after
hours of practice in the park, flowing in the forest or rockin' it on a dancefloor, clean them with soap
and warm water, or put them in the wash with your laundry: air-dry, no heat!
Flowtoys are designed to last you a lifetime, but nothing is indestructible,
