The Ultimate Glow Disc Golf Setup: UV Lights & Tape
The Ultimate Glow Disc Golf Setup: UV Lights & Tape
When the sun goes down, the real fun begins. Glow disc golf is growing rapidly, but if you don't have the right setup, you'll spend more time looking for discs in the dark than actually throwing them. Here is everything you need to build the ultimate night round bag.
1. The UV Flashlight (The Charger)
You cannot charge glow plastic effectively with a regular cell phone flashlight. You need a dedicated UV (ultraviolet) flashlight.
- Top Pick: Vansky 51 LED UV Flashlight
- Why it works: A quick 5-second blast with 51 UV LEDs will charge premium glow plastic (like MVP Eclipse 2.0 or Kastaplast K1 Glow) so bright you can read a book by it.

2. Glow Tape (For Non-Glow Discs)
What if your favorite driver doesn't come in glow plastic? You don't have to leave it at home. Just apply a few strips of high-intensity glow tape.
- Top Pick: MVP Eclipse Glow Vinyl Tape
- Why it works: It’s specifically cut in rings/strips for disc golf. It sticks securely, charges instantly under a UV light, and barely affects the flight characteristics.

3. Basket Lights
If you are setting up a temporary night course or playing an unsanctioned safari round, you need to light up the target.
- Top Pick: MVP Lunar Module Basket Light
- Why it works: It fits perfectly on top of standard baskets, illuminating the chains and the cage without blinding the players on the teepad.

4. Glow Discs (The Foundation)
Not all glow plastic is created equal. Some barely hold a charge for one hole, while others glow for 30+ minutes.
- Top Pick: MVP Eclipse 2.0 Envy & Reactor
- Why it works: MVP's Eclipse 2.0 and Kastaplast's K1 Glow are widely considered the brightest and longest-lasting glow plastics on the market.
