LED Light-Up Disc Review

***PLEASE NOTICE that TealCo.net sells every one of these light-up discs. We profit the same no matter which disc people buy. None of the disc manufacturers do us any favors, and unlike most other light-up frisbee "reviews" that are really just disguised plugs for one brand or another, we have been totally objective and honest.

The throwing distances are averaged and rounded off to 5 foot increments. All of the frisbees were thrown the same direction, in the same place, and in the same weather.

NEW REVIEW!! On May 21st we had the 2011 Light Up Frisbee Disc Review at Veterans Park in Arlington, TX. It has more people reviewing all the current model lighted discs, so check it out!

The Skylighter is by far the easiest to throw, and it coasts farther than the rest at low speed, which makes it easier to catch. Its white lights are BRIGHT, and the Aerobie video really doesn't do it justice. Other brands may look cooler in their promotional photos, but the Skylighter blows most of them away in looks and performance once you actually get out there and start throwing them.

The Frenzy disc is really wild looking, but it has to be pretty dark outside to be fully appreciated because it is not as bright as the rest. This disc would be as much at home at a rave or a science fair as at a park or a beach.

This disc is similar to the flashflight Frenzy, but a little bit brighter and a lot more mellow! It would fit in better in a Cheech & Chong movie than a rave, and would be an attention getter at any park.

This disc is very bright and my dog could see it with no problem at all. The on/off pushbutton is tapered so the dog can't bite it off, and nothing short of a hammer is likely to hurt it. I pulled it out of my 65# dog's mouth many times with no damage, so I give it an A+ for its intended purpose.

The standard flashflight discs don't change color, but they are brighter and easier to see from a distance than the Frenzy and the Disc-O. For actual sporting play value instead of special effects coolness, this would be my choice of the flashflight line of discs.

The original Orby's lights are bright when they are pointed directly at you, but the frisbee is still hard to see from far away. This disc is probably better suited for children 7 - 10 years old due to its small size, light weight, and very limited long distance visibility.

The Orby Mother- ship flies straighter and farther than the other classic, frisbee-shaped discs for me. It is very bright and easy to see from any angle, and the outer mounting of 4 LEDs makes it easier for me to catch than any of the others. I love it!

The most outstanding thing about the Yomega Photon is that it looks totally wicked in the air! I can't describe or photograph it; you just have to see it! On the down side, its small diameter makes it more difficult to catch than the larger discs due to fast flight. I recommend the Photon for teen and adult players.

This disc is similar to the Orby Mothership, but there are differences. The first difference is the auto-on/ auto-off feature on the Astro Disc, which is sort of nifty if you plan to play with the disc so much that batteries will be an issue. The second difference is the price, in which area the Astro Disc is the obvious champion. Third is durability. The Orby Mothership is tougher and less likely to break than the Astro over the long run.

The Skylighter is WAY easier to throw and catch than any of the other discs! The edge is also soft so it doesn't sting. It doesn't change colors or do any special effects, though.

This disc looks awesome! It makes lots of rainbow dots, and you can't even see them at all when the disc is still! When it is flying it looks like it has 100 lights of all different colors, but they are kind if dim compared to the other frisbees.

I like the changing colors. It's like the Frenzy sort of, but not really. It's WAY slower to change colors and you can see it just the same whether it is moving or not.

I like this flashflight because it's bright and it's small and it's kind of soft and squishy feeling. Dog, schmog, I like to play with this disc even without a dog!

These discs seem kind of plain compared to the Frenzy and the Disc-O. They are brighter than the Frenzy and the Disc-O, but they don't change color or do any special effects.

This seems more like a kids' toy than a sports thing. It's hard to see from far away, but I like the slick, glassy looking plastic. The light on top makes it easy to find in tall grass.

The Orby Mother- ship frisbee is very bright, and it looks like a ring of lights going through the air. I had a hard time throwing it straight, though, and it doesn't have any special effects, and it stings my hands when I catch it.

The Photon looks weird when it's flying, but I would like it better if it was bigger and had a soft edge like the flashflight Dog Discuit or the Aerobie Skylighter.

This is just like the Orby Mothership pretty much.

The Aerobie Skylighter is the most fun because I can throw it the best and it doesn't sting when I catch it. It is one of my two favorites even though it doesn't do any special effects.

The flashflight Dog Discuit is my other favorite. It never stings because it's not hard! I don't know why they called it a discuit, but it makes me wish I had a dog. I like this frisbee!

The plain flashflight is my favorite of the flashflight discs. It doesn't change colors, but I think it looks better than the ones that do. The only thing I don't like about it is that it stings when I catch it.

This Orby frisbee's lights are wimpy compared to the other frisbees, but it's still fun to play with. It must be for little kids.

The Orby Mother- ship looks like a flying saucer when other people throw it, and it's easier to catch than most of the others, but I had a hard time throwing it and it stings when I catch it. This frisbee must be for grownups.

The Photon frisbee looks really cool when it is flying, but it's hard to catch and it stings. I'd rather watch other people play with it.

This is almost the same as the Orby Mothership except for it turns itself on when you throw it. I wonder how it does that. I like it better when the lights stay on for some reason.
