Smoking a hookah is not just inhaling fragrant steam. This is a whole ceremony. Therefore, everything should be beautiful in it. Many lovers of oriental smoking prefer to equip the device with a backlight for a hookah. What is it and why is it used, we will understand further in the article.
Aesthetics Above All
Unlike a regular cigarette, smoking a hookah requires a special atmosphere. To achieve it, the backlight for the hookah flask will help. In the twilight, it creates a pleasant impression. Hookah itself, as it were, begins to glow from the inside. Combined with dense smoke, it looks amazing.
A person does not just inhale fragrant fumes, but contemplates them in a beautiful presentation. This contributes to even greater relaxation and enjoyment. Therefore, in clubs and at home, people often turn on multi-colored lights that illuminate the bulb from the inside.
Varieties of Highlights
In order for the hookah to shine with different lights, manufacturers came up with several options for accessories. Conventionally, they can be divided into external and internal. External - these are those that are placed under the flask and do not come in contact with water. They are more expensive, but also more durable. Internal lights are thrown into the water. The glow from them is no less bright, they cost less, but often serve only one or two times.
Lights in the water
To create an unrivaled atmosphere, you can throw in a flask with water several colored flashlights. They come in several forms. The most popular of them are balls, cubes, light bulbs. All of them are waterproof. They turn on themselves from contact with water, since it is a conductor, which closes the circuit.
Their disadvantage is that they do not all drown. Therefore, the brightest glow can only be at the surface of the water. The remaining parts of the flask are “colored” less intensely. Some aesthetes may not like this.
It is also worth noting that their service time is extremely limited. If you purchase the cheapest options, you will notice that the water penetrates inside, because of which the backlight does not turn off even after it has been removed from the bulb. The batteries in it will run out quickly. And after a day or two, the use of the backlight will become impossible. And you can’t change the batteries either, because the design is not provided for.
Exterior lighting
This is a more advanced and reliable option, although it costs about 500 rubles. Externally, this backlight for a hookah is similar to a flat LED flashlight. A flask is placed on it, because of which the light is directed upwards and illuminates the entire vessel.
Often such an accessory is equipped with a control panel that allows you to choose lighting colors or the mode of their change, as in the New Year's garland.
Due to the lack of contact with water, such a backlight will last a long time. It is easy to change worn out batteries in it.
