Hello. We are pleased to announce the drop of BTS OFFICIAL LIGHT STICK VER.4, with new features and a new wireless control system. VER.4 is an upgraded version being released about 5 years and 10 months after the previous MAP OF THE SOUL Special Edition (SE). It features a renewed design along with compatible accessories, including CRADLE and PARTS. In addition, a new app and an improved wireless control system have been introduced, enhancing user convenience while delivering a more advanced wireless control experience. The key features of the upgraded Light Stick and app compared to the existing SE version are as follows: 1. Improved Wireless Control * Takes effect at the time of VER.4 standalone integration - With changes in the way Light Stick data is processed, the range of displayable colors has been expanded, and gradations of color change have been refined, providing more immersive effects in coordination with stage lighting. - More sophisticated effects are possible due to the subdivision of the areas where the effects are applied. - Before the concert starts, you can check at a glance whether your Light Stick is properly paired, as it will light up together with the others around you according to the signal. - Even if the pairing has not been completed, automatic wireless control can be applied in certain parts of the concert. 2. New Features for Enhanced Convenience *Takes effect at the time of the release of the VER.4 app - For scheduled concerts, you can check the venue map and pairing booth locations within the Light Stick app - The app keeps a record of Light Stick pairings in Concert Mode, allowing you to view a list of the concerts you’ve attended in the History section - You can set various colors and flashing effects just using the buttons on the Light Stick without the app. A new “Color Shaking” feature has been added that randomly changes the color when you shake the Light Stick - You can select and save your desired colors in Self Mode within the app. You can also use it as a mood lamp at home with the cradle!
