A whip light with a controller in the base of the whip light that responds to inputs via a downloadable smart phone application to control color, brightness, and flashing patterns, where the handle and tube portion of the whip light can be installed on a base and removed from a base with one hand. The base is attachable to a vehicle. The electrical interface between the handle and base includes two five-element magnetic connectors brought into abutment by attaching the handle to the base. The magnetic connectors are mounted on respective small PCBs. The mechanical interface between the handle and base includes circumferentially arranged spring-biased ball bearings in a connector portion of the handle which mates with a neck of a cover for the base. The tube encloses a plurality of light sources, preferably RGB and white LEDs that emit light radially from the long axis of the tube.
