Extremely bright, lots of modes to choose from, it has a spring core so you can bend it all of the way back and make a U with it and it will whip forward like a cartoon tree trap when you let go, as you can see in the video, it's almost too bright and on camera the colors blended, but in person they are red, white, and blue, colors are well defined, accurate, and bright, which I think is adjustable with the remote, but who wants to dim whip lights?
