This frisbee has been a fun activity for my wife and I as well as some of the neighbors. In fact, one of my neighbors ended up buying a Night Ize disc of a different color. I believe the battery can be replaced on the push button on/off. The disc is light in weight considering it has LEDs and a battery. It flies like any other frisbee. I have the disc in red, which is a nice color at night...not harsh on the eyes. It hasn't ever blinked or turned off and then back on after many collisions with the ground or trees. I hope this review helps you in your decision.
The disc is probably not as bright as the 2nd picture I attached indicates. The disc has several thin strips of light coming from the center to the ends of the disc (see the 3rd picture). However, when the disc is thrown, it appears as if the whole disc is lit up.
UPDATE: The battery still has a charge after a year and a half of use off and on.

First I have to say that the Nite Ize Flashflight LED Flying disc is hands down the nicest light up flying disc I've ever seen. It flys solid. It's gorgeous and highly visible at during night time fun. It's really well made and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. It is everything they say it is! I love this product and I would definitely buy it again....
...However, my partner for my flying disc games is a 89 pound 5 year old German Shepherd. I bought it for him because I play with him early mornings and where I live, the sun is starting to come up later and later. I saw the reviews on this disc and couldn't wait until it got here. The first time we played with it. It was spectacular. He was beside himself before I threw it the first time. It was easy to throw. Flew long distances. It was simply fantastic. To my disappointment, after 15 minutes of playing fetch with it, it ended up full of holes from the dogs teeth, and the fiber optics started to fray off of the underside of the disc. There was no tugging or pulling of the disc in those 15 minutes. He doesn't even catch it in the air as of yet. All he does is picks it up from the lawn and runs back to me to throw it again. He's not rough with it. Just doing the things that dogs do. All the damage you see in the pictures below is from those short 15 minutes.
I love your product but I'll have to find another solution so my dog and I may continue our night games of fetch. To the developer, If you ever decide to make one for dogs, one that sacrifices performance for endurance and still remain beautifully lit, I'll buy 4.

I love my flashflight!!! I had one, but I misplaced it, so I bought a second. It's so cool being able to play frisbee at night! And the colors changing makes it that much more fun. Just make sure you can't trip on anything! My first one had a slightly different battery compartment which popped off easily on impact. You twisted it to turn the lights on. The second one had a very secure push button that took so much effort to turn on that I thought it was broken at first. Even the guys at the battery store and on our camping trip couldn't figure it out until my brother set it upside down on a picnic table and gave it a good push. After we figured out the button, it worked fine--even better than the first one--and I didn't have to worry about the battery cap popping off or water getting in if the grass is wet.
Even during the day, it's still nice because it has a nice weight and is a nice translucent white color. No rough edges. It might be a little heavy for small kids, maybe, but the wind doesn't affect it much at all. My brother pointed out that the battery/light compartment on the bottom might make catching uncomfortable for serious frisbee players, but it doesn't bother me at all.

Nite Ize Flashflights are so much fun. We have had one for years and bought this one as a Christmas gift for our 13 year old nephew.
We have had so much fun with ours. There is no problem seeing this in the dark. The center light has fibers that make the light spread through the disc making it very visible at night. I have tried red, green, and blue, and I don't feel that there is an inferior color. I think blue is the brightest and red is easiest on the eyes, but green is still very visible and I wouldn't have a problem with any color. The disc itself flies very well.
We love playing nigh ultimate frisbee with these. Nite Ize used to offer some colored halos so you could split up into teams and just see glowing headbands around. I haven't been able to find those again, so now we either do glow sticks or some glow bracelets so you can see your target in the dark. Then we put some glow sticks in some cones that have holes or slats out of them so you can see your boundaries. It's even just super fun to throw around when it's dark. The glow bracelets or sticks are still pretty much a necessity so you can where to throw it.
Of course, be careful to know your surroundings before you go and play so you're not running into anything and hurting yourself. But hopefully that's common sense.
This is so much fun. We love the Nite Ize brand. They don't skimp on quality.

This is the light up disc you want. And beware of cheap knock-offs as they are definitely out there. A few weeks ago I ordered a 2-pack of these for a great price from another seller and something completely different got delivered. The description said "Nite Ize Flashflight". The photo of the product was the same as this one. But that wasn't what they shipped me. The discs I received were very similar to Nite Ize but not exactly. Each one lasted for about 2 hours of play before falling apart too. So just beware. If the price seems too good to be true it probably is. I just chalked it up as a learning experience and had to re-order the real deal from somebody else.
This genuine Nite Ize disc should last you a long time unless you abuse it or are just unlucky. Red is the color you want too. It doesn't adversely affect your night vision like the other colors. A person's eyes will get better and better the longer they stay in the dark unless they are subjected to outside light sources other than red. That is why every astronomer you see has a red flashlight hanging off his telescope. The other colors are easier to see at first but will keep your eyes from being at their best in the dark. With them you will be seeing the disc fine but not seeing everything around you as well as you should.
Good luck!

Bought this slightly over a year ago and it's been an awesome buy since!
The durability of this thing is amazing, it's been hit into brick walls and thrown into all kinds of things, and all the damage incurred is just some scratches! It bends on impact which allows it to absorb the shock without malforming or getting damaged, creatively constructed! Since it has this shock absorbing attribute, it's also a lot less painful if you get hit in the face with it or something.
It's water resistant, that's right, it's been in many a puddle and even played with in the rain without a problem!
LEDs work great, battery has lasted me many a night game without a problem yet. This blue color, though, makes it a bit fuzzy and therefore a bit harder to catch (since our eyes are less sensitive to blue). In any case, it shines brightly and is clearly visible.
And now the actual dynamics of the frisbee... this is seriously one of the best, if not the best, frisbee I have ever played with. It throws extremely well and is extremely light and not hard at all (it bends), making catching it (if you know how to properly catch one) never a painful experience. It catches the air well and isn't too bad in the wind either. It also keeps a straight flight relatively well, you don't have to be the best thrower to get this to fly straight; I've even thrown some really bad forehands and somehow it's still managed to get enough lift to fly straight.
I've recommended this to a few of my friends, and a few of my friends were using this before I got it, and everyone I know who has one has loved it. My group back home now practically has all the different colors since a lot of us bought these!
(Note: be gentle with the battery compartment on the underside, one of my friends accidentally kicked that specific part and it fell apart entirely. We managed to put it back together, but without some good adhesive, the pieces weren't as close as they were and the electric connection between the battery and LEDs would frequently die)

The disk is very good quality. Feels just like a regulation Ultra Star. I've been using it to play Ultimate consistently and it still flies perfectly. The extra weight is noticeable and the lights around the edge and the button in the middle can be annoying when you catch the disc, but not too big a deal. I have recently been having problems where the lights turn off when it hits the ground too hard, but it always turns back on. It's a bit disruptive to play and I hope it doesn't worsen.

I think the disco is the best one. These are very thick and well balanced, easy to throw, makes you look like you know what you are doing kinda throw, doesn't wobble in the air. Which I thought it would with the battery case in the middle. But its very solid, drops, and alls good. The disc is a nice glow with a stream down the led strands that stream from the center. Very cool. We use at our campground for guests who want to throw frisbee in the dark. Nice entertainment for kids.

I love these discs! Just be careful when opening the battery case to replace the battery because sometimes you can lose the little "spring" piece inside that connects the battery to the LEDs. Sometimes the new push on/off button design is clunky. I was a fan of the old twist mechanism, except that the battery cover for that one would come off. But we still purchase these for gifts, because they are so much fun! I love that they are sized and weighted like an official Ultimate Frisbee disc (175 grams), because it makes playing ultimate at night super awesome! Just add some glow in the dark bracelets to differentiate teams and have a blast!
