FANL LED Glow Bracelets — Light Up Party Favors for the Glow Hour

What we actually sell

FANL makes one thing: a woven bracelet with an LED strip running inside it, two coin cells at the clasp and a single button on the outside. The band measures about 10.3 inches unfolded and closes to 8.7 inches, with a lit section of roughly 5.7 inches. That is the entire product. What changes between our sets is how many bands are in the box and what colours they are, and those two choices turn out to cover almost everything people need light for after dark.

Three ways to buy the same band

Our party trays are mixed sets for tables, where the point is that no two neighbouring wrists match. Our crowd pack is the bulk tier, three each of eight shades, for rooms with a guest list rather than a seating plan. Our team colours are eights in a single shade, for groups that have to read as one side from the far end of a field. Pick by the job, not by the price.

Three light modes on every band

One press wakes the light, the next changes what it is doing, and the one after that brings it back. Steady is the long mode, roughly fifteen to twenty hours, and the one to use when the job is being visible. Fast flash reads as motion at distance, which is what a stand wants at the moment something happens. Slow flash breathes instead of blinking and does the job a string of hanging bulbs does across a long table.

Why there is a spare cell in every box

Each band arrives with two CR2016 cells fitted and one CR2032 spare beside it, so an eight-band set carries eight replacements and the crowd pack carries twenty-four. We started doing this because sets were coming back out of drawers a season later and we wanted them to light up rather than disappoint somebody. A favour that still works next October is worth more than a favour that was cheaper this one.

Light up party favors that go home

The honest problem with event favours is that most of them are in a bin before the evening ends. A band with a live cell inside it gets switched off in the car, found in a bag the following week and switched back on. That is the whole argument for lighting a group rather than printing one, and it is why we build around working light instead of printed card.

Who our bands fit

Older children, teenagers and adults — roughly eight years and upward for a band that stays where it is put. On a toddler the band closes but slides, and we would rather say so here than have a parent discover it at a party. Coin cells are dangerous if swallowed, so keep spares out of reach, check every battery door is shut, and supervise children while they are wearing a band.

Where our sets end up

Birthday tables and skating lanes. School spirit nights and pep rallies. Fall festivals and the last week of October, which is the single busiest week of our year. Weddings, quinceañeras and school fundraisers in halls big enough that a colour has to read from the back. Dog walks, lantern walks and the slow trudge back to a car park. All of it is the same hour and the same band.

How a band is controlled

Each bracelet on this site is its own controller. There is no remote, no pairing step and no sound trigger waiting for the music to hit a beat — one button on the band, pressed by the person wearing it. That matters more than it sounds at an event, because it means a row of eight can run three different modes at once and nobody has to find the person holding the handset.

• Band size — about 10.3 inches unfolded, 8.7 inches closed, 1 inch wide
• Lit section — roughly 5.7 inches along the outside of the band
• Cells — two CR2016 fitted, one CR2032 spare with every band
• Runtime — about 15 to 20 hours on a steady setting

Please treat the cells with respect: they are dangerous if swallowed, so keep spares in their packaging and out of reach, press every battery door shut before a band goes on a wrist, and supervise young children while they wear one. Our bands are party and visibility accessories rather than safety equipment, and the security of knowing where a group is does not replace reflective clothing on a road.
