Some people have asked how the vision clubs will do in freezing conditions.
Every material gets more brittle the colder it is, though most of the plastics we use would not be affected by the range humans are exposed to.
We have had feedback from people who perform regularly in VERY cold climates, like Alaska and Finland, and even store their props in their car trunk between shows, which exposes them to extreme cold. This does not permanently damage any flowtoys, but can make them slightly more prone to damage during use, and reduce the battery life when cold. One performer had a great idea: he stores his flowtoys in a cooler with a hot water bottle between acts!
When very cold:
- the battery capacity will be reduced, but return when warmed up.
- the plastics will get harder and be more likely to break on impact, but the plastics we use are extremely durable and can handle most use even in extreme cold climates.
Exposure to cold climates does not directly effect your warranty coverage, but physical damage would be a 1/2 price replacement of the damaged part.
