Good to Know!
Tubing width is the thickness of the material that makes up the hoop’s ring. It is different from your hoop’s overall diameter, which determines how large the circle is.
Your FutureHoop can be resized to a different outer diameter through retubing, but its electronics are designed for a specific tubing width. Choose your preferred tubing thickness when ordering!
Step 3: Choose Your LED Resolution
Every FutureHoop creates beautiful, colorful lightshows!
If you’re choosing a FutureHoop Designer, you can take things a step further with your choice of Standard or High Definition (HD) LEDs. The difference is how much visual detail your hoop can display.
Standard LEDs
Beautiful, Brilliant & Efficient
36 LEDs per Meter
Standard resolution creates vivid colors, beautiful animations, and flowing light patterns while using fewer LEDs than an HD build. It’s a wonderful balance of visual performance, battery efficiency, and value.

intricate images. It’s an exciting option for artists who want to push their visuals further.
Why you’ll love it:
- Higher LED density for more detailed images and patterns.
- Smoother-looking curves and finer pixel effects.
- Extra creative possibilities for custom artwork and complex designs.
- Ideal for performers and artists who want maximum visual detail.
Great for:
Flow artists, performers, and pattern creators who love intricate visuals and want extra resolution for their designs.
Available on:
FutureHoop Designer Only
Good to Know!
More LEDs doesn’t automatically mean a brighter hoop. Higher LED density means more individual points of light, which can create greater detail in patterns and images.
HD builds can use more power when displaying comparable patterns at similar brightness settings, so battery runtime may be shorter. Actual runtime depends on your hoop’s battery configuration, size, brightness, and patterns.
Both resolutions look fantastic in motion!
The extra detail of HD is especially noticeable with intricate custom designs and patterns that make use of the additional LEDs.
