Night Frisbee, Anyone? Play Anytime With These Light-Up Frisbees
There’s a good chance that over the past year you’ve spent a substantial amount of time looking for new outdoor activities, and maybe you’re feeling like you’ve tried them all. Rollerblading? Check. Roller skating? Also check. And sure, you’ve already played plenty of Frisbee. But have you tried night Frisbee? Whether you’re playing disc golf, ultimate, or just tossing the Frisbee around, playing at night can be a fun twist on this classic outdoor game. Of course, the key is being able to actually see what you’re doing. That’s why you need one of the best light-up flying discs.
Playing light-up Frisbee has the added benefit of being a fun game to play after dark when it’s too hot to play during the day. A light-up Frisbee can also be fun for pet owners whose pups love playing at night. And, of course, it’s just plain fun to throw a light-up disc and watch it glide through a dark sky. It’s worth noting that, technically, Frisbee is still a registered trademark. That’s why most companies will bill their products as “flying discs.”
These are the best light-up flying discs to buy online, including from top brands like Innova and Discraft. They fall into two camps: LED discs, which are powered by batteries, are very bright, but some may feel that the battery bay gets in the way. Then there are glow-in-the-dark options, which have no exterior components that can affect flight but have the drawback of being less vibrant. These are the light-up flying discs to get.
1. Nite Ize Flashflight Light Up Flying Disc
BEST OVERALL
The Nite Ize Flashlight is considerably more expensive than the average flying disc, but it also does a lot more. There are six different colors to choose from, making it a great option for setting up team games, or you can switch to shuffle mode for multiple colors. The lightweight build makes it a sleek flyer that won’t be weighed down by the lights.
