Troubleshooting

The String Got Stuck when Replacing

Sometimes the string may get stuck inside the end when you're trying to replace. This is usually due to the string or knot being too thin. It helps to use a needle, thumbtack, or end of a paperclip to poke out the remaining knot after cutting the string. If the knot keeps slipping out or getting stuck, also try tying a bigger knot.

The Lights Won't Turn On

Check that the batteries are installed correctly, and also check that they have charge. Be sure to slide the metal cap underneath the hooks with the spring touching the battery. If they still won't turn on, try to use a cotton ear stick to wipe off the metal contact point inside the tube of the LED as it may build up corrosion over time. If all this has failed, it might be time to get a new LED.

My Order Didn't Arrive

After paying, your order should come with a tracking number that will help locate its whereabouts in the shipping process. International orders outside of the USA usually take 2+ weeks to arrive.

Once shipped, it is mostly out of my control to make sure they go through the mail properly. If you have not received your order or they are taking a long time to arrive, please contact me as there may have been an issue with shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions

What countries can you ship to?

DiaGlo can be shipped to most countries around the world. Just use the online store, and on checkout you can choose which mailing options are right for your country.

How much do the sticks weigh?

Each DiaGlo stick weights roughly 35 grams per (~70 grams for both sticks).

How long are the sticks?

The standard length is around 31 centimeters. If desired, I can customize the length to be shorter or longer for you. Email me before ordering so I know your desired length. Keep in mind that I make these sticks by hand myself and usually make my stock in bulk, and custom orders will take longer to fulfill.

What batteries do they use?

Each light kit uses 3x LR43 watch batteries. They roughly last ~5 hours of play depending on the type of battery used.

Do you have rechargeable batteries?

At the moment no, but I am working hard to design a custom light kit with this option.

Will you make new versions in the future?

I'm currently doing research to create DiaGlo Version 4. This version will make improvements to the lighting system that will be more durable and that turns on by simply pressing on the bottom of the stick.

I'm also designing DiaGlo Sync, which will be rechargeable and have a mobile app to allow for color changing and programming. Another thing on my wishlist is to make DiaGlo Pixel which will be able to project images while being swung around. Be sure to spread the word and buy a set of the current versions to help me fund the development of these future designs!
