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.

So many color settings!
I'm obsessed!!! This whip is such a huge upgrade from the previous one I had. Being able to change and fully customize the colors on the app is amazing! Their customer service was also so responsive when I was trying to decide which fiber style to buy. 10/10 would recommend this to anyone who likes lights.

So I’ve been flowing for about 5 years…
So I’ve been flowing for about 5 years and half of that time Ants on a Melon has been my go-to suggestion for the more serious flow artist. AOAM has the best fiber optic flow toys on the market. The fiber counts are robust and silky and the shape of the handle (perfectly straight) helps with trickier maneuvers. I do double whips n rarely run into others who do the same but when I do it’s AOAM. Also I’ve totally had to send them in for servicing because I like to flow and invariably need a retune but they are quick to respond and fix for a small service fee if it’s not covered under warranty. I love this brand.

Hey Rachel, Wow — thank you so much for the awesome review! It seriously means a lot that AOAM has been part of your flow journey for so long. 🙌 We put a lot of love into our gear, so hearing that the fibers and handle design are working well for your style is the best kind of feedback. And yep — we’re always here for those inevitable tune-ups. Gotta keep your setup stage-ready! Thanks again for all the love and support. Keep killin’ it out there! 🔥 – Indigo AOAM Support

Stunning, durable, & brighter than the future!
I have used your products since 2016 and recommend it to everyone! I absolutely love you guys! I could never say enough nice things. You have fulfilled last-minute orders for when I performed like complete angels. I still have my old steel og whip along with the beautiful and sleek new model. The durability and brightness are next level! I have yet to run into someone else who uses a double though. Thank you for everything and I will allllwayyys stick with antsonamelon 🫶🐜🍉
