The Magilight runs on two rechargeable, replaceable batteries that give you up to eight hours run time on a four-hour charge. Get an extra set of batteries and you can make images all night. In case it's not apparent, this setup gives you total wireless freedom of motion which will cause you to dance, whirl, spin, pirouette, or engage in any activity that will create a streak or trail. All you need is darkness or near-darkness and a slow exposure from a friend with a tripod or with your camera on a tripod for solo performances. The wand's unique rotating ring design will help you to effortlessly create circular light paintings. And we haven't even scratched the surface yet. The Sound Setting gives you an audible alert when you start and when you finish painting, while the Display Setting will detect and turn a background screen on or off to ensure that your image isn't spoiled. Animation Mode helps create an animation without shooting one photo at a time, while the Blink Mode has three levels that allow you to paint a room with something that looks like an exotic rug or a picket fence with your choice of distance between the slats. Of course, you have full control of color so these paintings can be any color or combination of colors in the spectrum. Add another Wand for more intricate paintings and more of a sense of wonder.
