A hero product shot of a spherical globe-shaped K-pop concert lightstick — clear domed top over a matte-black cylindrical handle with a subtle ribbed grip — glowing with a soft purple-violet light from within. The lightstick stands slightly off-center on a dark reflective surface. Behind it, a dreamy bokeh sea of thousands of matching purple lights fills a darkened concert arena, softly out of focus. Cinematic studio lighting with a gentle purple rim light and a cool highlight on the glass dome. Premium, editorial, high-detail, photorealistic. Moody dark background with rich purple and deep-navy tones, a touch of warm glow. Clean negative space in the upper-left third for a title overlay. 16:9, high resolution.
