Overview Of Kpop Lightsticks

This is probably the most popular Kpop lightstick ever! The first version of the lightstick was released in 2015 and was called the Army Bomb, which looks like globe. The 4th version of the Army bomb was released in April 2020. The design of the Army Bomb hasn’t really changed over time (except for the 4th version), but the specifications have. The 4th version has a slicker handle, the globe is opaque and it can connect over Bluetooth, so the flashing will synchronise at concerts. The light intensity of the 4th version is way brighter that all the previous versions.
