How Do You Play Night Croquet?
Surprisingly,
Croquet can be enjoyed under low illumination. Night play has two problems,
seeing Wickets....and seeing Balls; of these two, visibility of
the Wickets is by far the more difficult (especially with thin wire wickets).

Wickets: The Wonder
Wicket Light very adequately solves the visibility problem for all types
of wickets.
Balls: Any ball
in the vicinity of a Wonder Wicket Light will be adequately illuminated.
To effectively see balls remote from the wickets, it turns out all that
is needed is a little ambient lighting that most yard settings will
generally provide, especially when some low level artificial
lighting sources such as yard torches, lanterns, decorative colored
light-strings and garden-shrubbery lighting are used.

Note: Some prefer to paint markings on the
balls using Craft paints that are fluorescent; this accentuates and heightens
reflection from low ambient area lighting. By using various combinations of
stripes, dots, and other patterns, the darker balls can be easily distinguished
from one another.
Using Wonder Wicket Lights, you will be
surprised at how easy it is to play a very enjoyable and competitive game of
Croquet under these conditions. Not only do they facilitate the game of night
Croquet, they also provide an attractive light display on the Croquet course.
Try them for an evening of camaraderie and socializing with a “Croquet
flavor”.
