About Ants on a Melon

Ants on a Melon (AOAM) is a small, independent company based in Springfield, Oregon that designs and hand-assembles modular LED light tools for flow artists, light painters, performers, and festival-goers around the world. Founded by Master Toymaker Joel Pinkham in 2012, AOAM blends artistry and technology to build gear that runs on one programmable platform.The core of the system is the RGB Critter BT, a color-changing flashlight that powers more than 200 twist-on tools and accessories. From that one light you can build fiber optic light whips (the BitWhip and Double BitWhip), light painting tools like blades and tubes, saber and staff kits, fiber optic costume lighting, and more. One light becomes a whole kit, so you carry less and spend less over time.The RGB Critter BT was named the number one RGB flashlight for light painting by Stephen Knight Photography and earned an Editor's Choice from Photofocus. With a small, passionate team, no outside investors, a 2-year warranty on Critter-powered kits, and real human support, AOAM focuses on thoughtful design, creative freedom, durability, and staying closely connected to the community that inspires it.

My whip came in super quickly and the packaging was safe and secure. It also came with a user setup instructions and a warranty. Waiting on my sleeve wrap to get here before playing with it too much but I love it already!

First impressions
The package arrived today 2026-03-27, everything that should be there is in the shipment. So far I have unpacked and tried everything. Communication with the store was excellent. As for light painting, I am at the beginning. I will research everything and learn. I made a small mistake and that is that I did not read properly what is in the kit. The Pro Kit only contains short rods that model the light and one longer clear one. I will have to order longer tubes that model the light and another longer clear one in time. I am satisfied and can recommend the store.
Response from Ants on a MelonApr 4, 2026
Thank you so much, Martin! We’re really glad everything arrived smoothly and that you’re off to a great start with light painting. Appreciate your note about the kit as well. As you explore more, adding longer tubes will definitely open up even more possibilities. Thanks again for the recommendation, and enjoy the learning process 🙂
