capsule & vision - the basics
How do I turn my LED poi on/off?
All flowtoys poi with capsule or vision lights have a one-button interface - when you first get your light, simple press the button to turn on. To turn off, you can hold the button down until the light fades off and let go.
> Access more info on How to turn your lights on & off, as a solo light, or as a group
How do I adjust my leashes?
All flowtoys poi and tethered props come with adjustable leashes, no matter what poi you purchase and whether you got J-lace, 6mm smithy cord (standard podpoi) or 10mm FPC cord.
Adjusting your poi leash length to fit your body and style is an easy and important step to optimizing your poi experience.

How do I group my lights?
Most flowtoys LED poi come with "capsule 2" or vision core lights. These light engines have tech that allows you to wireless connect to each other and other "flowtoys connect" lights!
Make sure your firmware is up to date! All your vision and capsule 2.0 props need to have the same firmware version to connect to each other, have the same modes, brightness and run-time, so make sure to update the firmware on all your props!
Quick-group instructions:
- from off: Hold for ~10 sec. until lights flash white and/or turn solid white. Let go. THAT’S IT!
- this creates a unique group with any other flowtoys connect light in quick-group mode.
- there is no limit to how many can join the group :)
- this is what you should see:
- if you want to add more lights to the group later, you can create a new quick-group with all the lights, or see “advanced grouping” to broadcast the group ID and connect more lights.
Quick group indicators:
- fast flashing white = connecting, trying to connect to existing group.
- solid or slow flashing white = grouped, inviting others to connect.
> Click here for video instructions on quick grouping.
How do I change modes, and navigate my lights?
Your podpoi's capsule lights come with flowOS “Pages interface”, enabling you to navigate through many modes and settings with just 1 button using a few types of button presses. This interface is consistent through all new flowtoys props in the foreseeable future - learn one, learn them all :)

How do I charge capsule handles?
To access the charging port, simply turn your capsule light to align its usb charging port with the portal on the shell.

How do I update my capsule or vision firmware?
If you got your props at different times they might have different firmware - for the wireless connection to work, and to have matching modes and features, make sure to update all your props.

Is there an app?
Yes! The "flowtoys connect" app is a powerful mobile app that together with a "bridge", enables you to control all your flowtoys connect props, which at the moment includes all capsule 2 lights and vision props.
Here are some things you can do with it:
- access all pages and modes, customize by adjusting parameters, save modes to favorites
- adjust settings, e.g. brightness level, auto sleep/wake
- create playlists - the app comes with default playlists, create your own and share
- adjust autoplay intervals to have modes in a playlist change at different intervals
- create shows to music on a timeline

> Click here to learn how to get around your flowlight-FS modes and features.
What are the modes & customizations?
Your flowlight-FS has a over 30 modes to choose from! There are 3 "pages" with each page comprising 11 adjustable modes, a 4th page that includes your saved 'favorites' modes, and a 5th page that allows you to adjust your flowlight-FS settings.

How to charge my flowlight? How to open the battery door?
The flowlight runs on 1AAA. We designed the battery door so that you wouldn’t need a screwdriver to open it. The battery door fits within the flowlight’s compact form and is designed to be secure, quick to open and help spread light around the battery without compromising the strength of the shell anymore than necessary. Sometimes opening the door can be challenging like a puzzle box, but there are several tricks to make it easy for everyone.

How do I convert flowmoja contact poi to coral poi?
Converting your poi is very quick and easy to do and we have step-by-step directions here.
My light is not holding a charge, the battery drains quickly.
If your lights don’t run as long as expected, or appear to have very different runtimes, there are a few different possible causes:
- They are getting old - you can email us for upgrade/replacement instructions.
- They are not all getting charged fully.
- Your lights have different firmware or brightness settings.
- Your lights are in different modes (some modes use more power than others).
- The battery capacity is reduced.
- The battery is draining when not in use.
The best way to save power is to choose a lower brightness level, it can more than double your runtime. Setting the "auto sleep" function can also save a lot of battery life by dimming or turning off your light when it's not in motion. Brighter modes will drain your battery more quickly.
