How do my friends know which color means which DJ?

The three channel colors match the standard red, green, and blue silent-disco headphone LEDs, so your group already associates each color with a specific DJ stream.

Can I change the channel colors to a custom palette?

Yes. Open the Sleeve Studio app, edit the channels in plain English, and send the new colors to your sleeve over Bluetooth.

Will a solid full-bright badge drain the battery before the night ends?

Hold Pad 4 to switch to low-dim badge mode at 25% brightness, which keeps the channel readable while dramatically extending runtime between charges.

Silent-Disco Channel Synchronization Badge on an 8×32 LED Sleeve

Tap a pad to fill the 8×32 RGB LED matrix with Red, Green, or Blue so friends across a silent-disco floor instantly see which DJ stream you are listening to, with a matching color field on the $199 sleeve.

Finds your group instantly: Fill the full matrix Red, Green, or Blue to show which of the three DJ streams you’re dancing to.
Tap blind in the dark: 5 sewn fabric pads switch channel without looking; the pod slides out to hand-wash after a sweaty night.
