Will color polypro tubing affect the FutureHoop Lights?

Our standard LED hoops are typically made with 3/4" HDPE tubing, which offers excellent durability and flexibility. At the moment, 3/4" HDPE is temporarily out of stock, but 3/4" Polypro is still available in all colors. If you're looking for HDPE, our 5/8" HDPE option is still available and shipping as usual.

Polypro is lighter and stiffer than HDPE, offering a snappier feel and quicker response. While its rigid structure gives it a different kind of feedback during flow, polypro is more prone to cracking if bent too far, used for more fast-paced or aggressive hooping style, or if the tubing swiftly impacts a hard surface. This is especially true in colder temperatures, particularly with LED hoops due to the added weight of electronic components.

That said, many hoopers still enjoy polypro LED hoops for their crisp responsiveness and lightweight handling. Our current polypro options include clear and translucent colors: Lilac (purple), Blush (pink), Dew (green), and Aqua (blue).

Will the tubing color affect the lights? When the hoop is in mid to high speed motion the tubing color difference is almost indistinguishable. When the hoop is moving slower you can see that the tubing is different and may notice a slight tint.

The color difference will be the most notable when the hoop is on an all white setting.
