FANL Eight-Band Yellow Set

The high-visibility shade

Yellow is what road crews wear in daylight and it behaves the same way after dark. Of everything we make, a yellow band on a steady setting is the one a driver picks up earliest, which is why we put this set in the hands of the adult walking at the back of a group rather than the child at the front. It is a party colour that happens to do a serious job well.

Warm light on a summer night

Indoors and in warm weather the same shade stops being a warning and starts being a string of lanterns. A luau table, a back-garden evening, a pool deck after the sun drops: eight yellow bands on a slow flash do the same thing a row of hanging bulbs does, except they are on wrists and they go home with the guests.

Cycling the modes without a fight

One press moves a band from steady to fast flash, another moves it to slow flash, and the next press returns it. There is no sequence to memorise and no combination that gets a band stuck. We mention it because yellow sets end up on the youngest wrists more often than the rest of the range, and a control that cannot be entered wrong is worth more than a clever one.

How this set is controlled

Every bracelet in the box is its own controller. One button on the outside cycles the light, there is no remote to lose and no sound trigger waiting on the music, so an eight-person table can run three different modes at once. Please press each battery door shut before the event starts and keep the spare cells out of reach of small children, who should be supervised while they wear a band. A lit wrist buys you the security of being able to count a group in the dark; it is not safety equipment.
