WHY THESE BEAT OTHER BEADS
🔹 Unbreakable Geometry: 20mm dodecahedron shape distributes impact forces evenly (unlike fragile skulls/cubes/Cylinders that crack at stress points).
🔹 Field-Proven Grip: Perfect tapered edges work wet, dry, or gloved – won’t slip like non-uniform beads, won’t irritate skin/shred gear like textured beads.
🔹 Tactical/Safety Light Source: Glow beads visible at 25m after 10sec phone-light charge (Be seen, Be Safe!). Attach to gear to never lose in the Wilderness/Low light Areas!
🔹 Featherlight Yet Tough: At just 0.18 oz per bead (5g), they add negligible weight to your kit while surviving Ballpeen hammer strikes. (Yes, we tested this.)
REAL-WORLD USE CASES WE TESTED
✅ Knife/Tool Retention: Self-locking friction keeps gear secure during bushcraft, woodworking, or boating. (Tested with 5oz/16oz/24oz hammers—survived 10+ full-force strikes on concrete before failing under extreme abuse.)
✅ Search & Rescue Visibility:
– Daytime: HiViz colors stand out against foliage.
– Night: Glow beads visible at 25m after a 10-second phone charge. (Field-tested by throwing into summer-night woods at 9PM—found instantly.)
✅ Emergency Cord Weight: Works as a makeshift “monkey’s paw” for throwing paracord lines over branches/obstacles/guide lines/
✅ Durability Benchmark: Survived repeated strikes from:
– Tack Hammer hammer (5oz) → No damage
– Ball-peen hammer (16oz) → No damage
– Ball-peen hammer (24oz) → No damage until maximum human swing force
NIGHT VISION COMPATIBILITY (SEARCH & RESCUE APPLICATION)
✅ How LumenViz Works
These beads contain special phosphorescent PLA+ that absorbs ambient light (sunlight/room lights/flashlights) and re-emits it as visible glow. No batteries or electronics – just physics.
✅NVG Visibility Boost
The glow effect appears brighter under night vision because:
1. NVGs amplify all available light, including the bead’s phosphorescence
2. Custom Shape scatters light evenly without hotspots that blind operators
✅ No IR Signature– Unlike electronic markers, these won’t trigger IR sensors. Standard PLA doesn’t emit infrared, but NVGs amplify their visible glow naturally.
✅ No Tritium– These use phosphorescent PLA+, not radioactive tritium. Safe for travel, no hazmat restrictions, and zero radiation risk.
✅Practical Charging
– 10 sec phone flash = 30+ min usable glow
– Full daylight charge = 1+ hour visibility

⚠️ Copies and Clones: All Meloncorp DodecaBeads™ have the Meloncorp Corporate Logo Imprinted on all beads, Verifying quality and authenticity! Imitators will not survive the hammer test!
MELONCORP ENGINEERING REPORT
Subjected to:
– 30min continuous flail strikes against concrete slab (Impact marks but 100% functionality, zero cracks)
– 24hr saltwater immersion (No Metal? No corrosion. No problems.)
– 20°F to 130°F thermal cycling (Maintained Structural Integrity and Functionality with no cracking at cold end, and no warping at high end)
🔥 Dodecahedral Forge Operations
Each bead is forged in 100% molten PLA+ within our crucibles. Restocks take 3-5 days per batch while we:
1) Temper beads to MIL-SPEC density (zero voids, zero cold seams)
2) Hammer-test 5% of each run with 24oz ball-peen strikes
Because we forge these in small batches, please allow for some slight variance in color. We try to present the colors as best possible. Please refer to our color chart!
