I bought this frisbee, so that me and my fellow soldiers here in Iraq would have something to at night other than work. I have had this toy for just five days, and we have probly logged over 15 hours of night fun. The light is bright and easy to see at night, with no noticable dimming within the first 15hrs. Due to the weight the frisbee flies great in the wind here. Quite possibly the best frisbee ever, and definatly worth the $$$.

I picked up one of these flying discs just a couple of weeks ago. I have a green one, but they are available in red, blue, and multicolors as well. It's a well made American product---which makes this disc an easy choice over the competition---that flies straight and does not hurt to catch (at least with the hand).

After a few missed catches, a few collisions with trees, and landing in the road, the Flashfligh never blinked. It seems sturdy, unlike some other light-up discs that didn't last through a weekend.

The LED makes it easy to spot without being distracting, so catching the disc is easy and finding it, not a matter to be taken lightly during a late evening endeavor, is effortless (as long as the light is turned on).

I play ultimate a lot. The feel of this frisbee is excellent and the lights really work. They form sort of a circle when you throw the frisbee giving you a better target at night when depth perception isn't as good. I'd buy this frisbee in a hearbeat before I'd buy another glow-in-the-dark frisbee. We even bought a bunch of Tail Lights so that we could 'see' people at night. They work too! A whole different game!

It's hard to sell a night-time product in the day-time and pictures can do some justification. BUT! this disc is so unbelievably cool in the dark of night that it literally gave us that "wow" factor where our heads turned and looked at each other in amazement after the first throw. Well, several hours later we were still laughing, running and enjoying the pure entertainment of playing in the park at night.

This item is innovative (only one other similar product on the market, Black Jax, and I'm pretty sure this was out first) and cool and I really, really like it - don't get me wrong. The problem is that it is not water-resistant nor that great at floating, as described on Nite-Ize's own website: http://www.niteize.com/productdetail.php?category_id=26&product_id=98

We played with it for about an hour, maybe 90 minutes, in the water. It was never deliberately dunked or held underwater, but it had a splashdown or two, and it doesn't exactly bob up above the water, it just doesn't sink like a rock. Water (and, therefore, a small amount of sand suspended in it) got into the part that twists to turn the light on, and the lights went out. No amount of careful cleaning and drying could bring it back to life fully--it flickered a bit, but it didn't last more than a second or two. We were disappointed; we paid about $24 for it at the time (I think from the site Z-Battery).

Today I bought the Flashflight Jr (Disc-O LED colors) and the Black Jax Ultimate (solid blue LED) discs, which are very much like this product, so I'll be posting reviews for those in a few weeks. These look promising because rather than twisting-on, they have non-moving press-on type switches.

Our Familly recieved one of these discs for Christmas
and we are amazed how well it works. Easy to fly and
the lights are incredible, making it a blast in the dark.

My yellow Lab is crazy for Frisbee! It's her favourite thing. This one is briliiant. The colors are bright and really pretty flying through the dark. It's made playing with her even more fun. She waits by the window for dark because she knows what comes as soon as the sun sets: night game! The lights make it easy for her to see the disc flying (a help even during the day) and therefore easier for her to catch. We have four of them so we always have one in the air for her to run for, which means she goes to bed exhausted and is an angel all night long. (Beware, if you are shy or self-concious, you will inevitably have an audience if you pair these surpsingly pretty flying discs, with a dog who can catch them in her mouth--especially if you play near children!)

Great for winter frisbee when it gets dark early. A little chalenging if the players are not illuminated as well. Might be good with LED wristbands, for example.

This thing is so much fun fun fun fun fun fun!!!!!!!! lol. I have the disco version that changes colors and its so much FUN!!! However, I would advise getting glow sticks or something in order to see who you are throwing to at night.

This frisbee is sweet. The battery has not come out yet, like it had on others, and this frisbee has been through some rough times. IT flies perfect, and is great for night.
