Review
First of all BoL isn’t really an effect in itself, it’s more of an add-on for D’lites.
So if you are not a D’lite fan this is not for you. It basically does exactly what it says on all the websites. The performer can put his captured light into a brown paper bag where it floats down to rest, after 10 lights are placed in the bag the performer blows them all out with one light breath.
You cannot throw them across the room into the bag as someone posted in the D’lite thread unless you have an assistant holding the bag.
Overall
Effect 8/10 ( if you like D’lites ) Would have been higher but the lights pile up a 2 inch gap down the centre of the bag not full width as shown in the Ad’s
Construction 7/10 Very disappointed with that. Take two heavy AA batteries. Would have been much better with some button batteries. It’s operated the same as a D-lite. I will have to mod this myself as the thing sounds like a rifle being cocked maybe ok for stage, but not for close up.
Fantastic add-on for d-lites as it allows you to detatch from the light and produce multiple lights. Shame they didn’t think a little bit more about its design. Oh and importantly you must have a red d’lite
But I think I must add I’m happy with it and will get a lot of mileage out of it once it is silenced.
