Tron Light Disc
Here we have our Tron Light Disc! This is an exact replica to the first Tron movie. The prop can be turned on by simply shaking the prop up and then down. To turn it off, simply go in reverse. It has full audio and LED visual output as well as reacts to pressure if its hit against something. It’s as close to the real thing as it will get. As an added bonus, it can also double as an audio player and has a built in visual EQ and users can change the color of the disc to emulate their favorite Tron character.
