The 3" Mini LED Projector - Color Burst Pattern (aka. the "Mini LED Projector") is a very nifty device that projects changing colored light patterns onto your walls or ceiling.
It comes in a very groovy 1960s-ish "can-style" case, has 6 LEDs (two each red, green, and blue) and feeds those LEDs with a trio of AAA cells or with a "wall-wart" AC adapter that you supply yourself if you want to use one.
SIZE
To use your shiny new (or corroded old) Mini LED Projector, feed it first (see below) and THEN you can liven up that dead, boring party.
Using the slide switch on the back, slide it one "click" to the left to turn it on so that it projects slowly-changing patterns. Slide the switch one more "click" to the left to blink its LEDs while changing the configuration of which colors are displayed.
To neutralise the unit, slide this switch all the way to the right until it stops.
To feed your Mini LED Projector, turn it over ("business-end" down) so that the battery compartment & switch faces up. Unclip & remove the battery door, buy yourself an airline ticket and fly yourself plus the battery door to Hollywood (put it in checked baggage if necessary), bring it to the set of the new movie, “Halloween V: Season of the Bitch”, have the special effects crew grind it into microscopic bits to have those itty bitty bits implanted into millions of Kotex and Tampax tampons, and...O WAIT!!! YOU'LL NEED THAT!!! So save your airfare & just set it aside instead.
Tip the used AAA cells out of the Mini LED Projector and into your hand, and dispose of or recycle them as you see fit.
Do not use your foot to push them under the Lazy-Boy where the dog might find them, do not attempt to flush them down the loo, and for God sakes please do not throw them over the side of a dock where they might hit a flounder on the way down to the sea bottom.
Install three new AAA cells into the battery compartment, orienting each cell so that its flat-ende (-) negative faces a spring for it in each chamber.
Place the battery door back on, and gently push on it until it "clicks" into place.
Aren't you glad that you didn't fly that battery door to Hollywood where it would get ground into microscopic bits for the sake of some phoney-bologna fake Halloween movie now?
Current usage appears to top out at 112.80mA on my DMM's 400mA scale.
This is a decorative light, not a flashlight meant to be thrashed, trashed, and abused. So I won't try to drown it in the toliet tank, bash it against a steel rod or against the concrete floor of a carport in effort to try and expose the bare Metalguilmon - er - the bare Metalguardramon - um that's not it either...the bare Metalterriermon...mmm...the bare Metalkyubimon...er...uh...wait a sec here...THE BARE METAL (guess I've been watching too much Digimon again! - now I'm just making {vulgar term for feces} up!!!)...O WAIT!!! WHERE'S THE METAL?!?, let my mother's big dog's ghost, her kitties, my kitty or my sister's kitty cat piddle (uranate) on it, hose it down with my mother's gun, run over it with a 450lb Quickie Pulse 6 motorised wheelchair, stomp on it, use a large carpenter's hammer (claw hammer) in order to bash it open to check it for candiosity, fire it from the cannoñata, drop it down the top of Mt. Erupto (now I guess I've been watching ***WAAAAAAYYYYY*** too much of the TV program “Viva Piñata” again!!! - candiosity is usually checked with a laser-type device on a platform with a large readout (located at Piñata Central {aka. "Party Central”}), with a handheld wand that Langston Lickatoad uses, or with a pack-of-cards-sized device that Fergy Fudgehog uses; the cannoñata (also located at Piñata Central) is only used to shoot piñatas to piñata parties away from picturesque Piñata Island, and Mt. Erupto is an active volcano on Piñata Island), send it to the Daystrom Institute for additional analysis, or perform other indecencies on it that a flashlight might have to have performed on it. Therefore, this section of the Mini LED Projector's web page will seem a bit more bare than this section of the web page on a page about a flashlight that was born to be a flashlight and nothing but a flashlight.

TEST NOTES:
Test unit was purchased at the Party City store in Federal Way WA. USA on 12-26-12.
UPDATE: 02-18-13
The product has failed -- I plugged an AC adapter into it that outputs +4.5 volts (the same one I used for the 3" Plasma Ball), the lights came on at full intensity for ~5 seconds, and then the unit went dark.
Therefore, I must now append the dreadful, "" icon to its listings on this website, denoting the fact that the product has gone to pot.
PROS:
Puts on very nice light shows for you
Extremely colorful and gay*
Product looks "groovy" even when it's off
Fully self-contained (no cords) unless you want to power it with an AC adapter
Uses LEDs, not fragile & hot incandescent bubs
NEUTRAL:
CONS:
The mounting bracket seems a bit loose even when the thumbscrews are hand-tightened well
* Gay = bright & lively, ***NOT*** homosexual.
