LED diabolo: ready to play, or LED kits for the one you own?
Every LED diabolo here is a Sundia lit by removable LED kits: the EVO UL LED from 90 € with the kits fitted, or kits at 45 € for the Sundia you own.
Updated
DiaboloFocus imports Sundia for Europe and sells the Sundia products named here, plus some string and sticks from other brands. Recommendations are the shop’s own view. Prices of products sold here include VAT, shipping extra (see shipping and returns). Other brand names belong to their owners, who are not connected to this shop.
Every LED diabolo in this shop gets its light the same way: from a pair of Sundia LED kits. You can buy one with the kits already fitted, the Sundia EVO UL LED from 90 €, or add a pair at 45 € to a Sundia you already own. Either way the kits are an add-on: they come out and go back in easily. The light is the same; what changes is the weight and the cups it shines through.
For a show, we would take the EVO UL LED. For playing in the garden after dark with the diabolo you already have, the kits.
Two ways to get a diabolo that lights up
Assembled for you. The EVO UL LED is an EVO with ultralight cups, and we fit the LED kits before it ships. A pair of kits weighs 44 g, and the lighter cups make up for it: the whole diabolo weighs about what a standard EVO does. That matters as soon as you play two or three of them. These are the same kits that are sold on their own, and they stay an add-on: easy to take out and to put back.
Kits in the diabolo you own. A pair of kits screws into a Sundia in place of the nuts, with two flat nuts in the box. You keep the diabolo you know, and it gets 44 g heavier while the kits are in.
The options, side by side
These are this shop’s prices on 14 November 2026, and Sundia’s own figures.
| Option | What it is | Axle | Weight | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EVO UL LED | Ultralight EVO, kits fitted | Fixed or bearing | about 230 to 240 g | from 90 € |
| EVO UL 5-B LED | The same on a five-bearing axle | Five bearings | about 250 g | from 111 € |
| Sundia LED kits | A pair of kits for one diabolo | The one you have | adds 44 g | 45 € |
Every option gives the same three modes: white, blue, and white with blue. Sundia keeps to two colours on purpose; fewer colours make the electronics steadier.
Which diabolos take an LED kit
The kits are made for Sundia diabolos and fit EVO, Magforce and Fly cups. Two things decide how good it looks:
- Transparent cups. The light has to pass through the cup. The Magforce, EVO G3, Falcon and Shining are the models it shows best in, and the translucent Echo takes a kit too.
- Carbon washers. A kit needs carbon washers (6 €) to sit properly. They are not in the box, so add them if your diabolo does not have them.
We cannot confirm the fit on other brands. If your diabolo is not a Sundia, ask us before you order.
Charging and light time
- Light time: about 1 hour 20 minutes on a full charge.
- Charging: about 1 hour over USB-C. The kits glow red while charging and turn blue when full.
- The cable: the 4-way cable (7 €) charges four kits at once, which is two diabolos. It is an option on the EVO UL LED and on the kits.
- The one rule: use a standard charger of 20 W or less. Phone and laptop fast chargers are not supported, and they wear the batteries out early.
For an act, charge the same day and you have light for the whole number with time to spare.
LED sticks
In the dark, the sticks draw half of the picture. There are three, all with a blue or a white LED:
| Sticks | Light | Length | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| LED Sticks Carbon | A bright point at the tip | 30 cm | from 44 € |
| LED Sticks Clear | Along the whole stick | 32 cm | from 46 € |
| LED Bearing Sticks | With a bearing in the stick for knot tricks | 31 cm | from 46 € |
They run on LR44 button cells, three per stick, so six for a pair. Take a spare pack when you perform. How the non-LED sticks compare is in the best diabolo sticks.
Bottom line
For shows and for more than one diabolo, the EVO UL LED from 90 €: the kits are already fitted and the weight stays that of a normal EVO. For the Sundia you already play, a pair of LED kits at 45 € plus carbon washers, best through transparent cups. Either way, charge with a normal charger of 20 W or less, and add LED sticks if people will be watching.
Questions
What is the best LED diabolo?
In our view the Sundia EVO UL LED, from 90 €: ultralight EVO cups with the LED kits already fitted, so it weighs about what a standard EVO does. The light comes from the same Sundia LED kits that are sold on their own: if you already own a Sundia with transparent cups, a pair at 45 € does the same job.
Can I put LED kits in the diabolo I already own?
Yes if it is a Sundia: the kits fit EVO, Magforce and Fly cups, and the light shows best through transparent cups such as the Magforce, EVO G3, Falcon and Shining. You need a pair of kits (45 €) and a set of carbon washers (6 €).
How long does the light last, and how do I charge it?
About 1 hour 20 minutes of light for 1 hour of charging, over USB-C. Use a standard charger of 20 W or less: fast chargers wear the batteries out early. The 4-way cable (7 €) charges two diabolos at once.
Do I need LED sticks too?
Not to play, but in the dark the audience follows the sticks as much as the diabolo. Carbon LED sticks light at the tip (from 44 €); the clear ones light along the whole stick (from 46 €). They run on LR44 button cells, three per stick.
