COLOR-CHANGING TWISTER LIGHT

Color-Changing Twister Light, retail $14.98 (www.thingsyouneverknew.com...)
Manufactured by (Unknown) for Westminster
Last updated 10-16-14

The Color-Changing Twister Light is a rather unusual little lamp. At first glance, it might appear to be a somewhat scaled-down version of a Lava Lamp, but once you flip it on (which is always better than flipping it off, hahaha!!!

), all of your preconceived notions go right down the toliet!

The Color-Changing Twister Light generates a colorful vortex inside whenever it is turned on. Since this effect is not easy to describe, I'll let the video father down this web page do the talking here.

SIZE

To use your new Color-Changing Twister Light, feed it first (see directly below), and THEN you can add some excitement to that boring old desk.

Turn it on by sliding the little black slide switch on its base near the bottom of the lamp toward the left, and place the unit on a flat, reasonably level surface. Within 10 to 15 seconds, the twister effect should form, as the remarkably quiet impeller inside "stirs" the liquid in a circular motion.

Slide the same switch toward the right to neutralise the lamp.

To change the batteries in your Color-Changing Twister Light, turn it over and look for a hatch. Unscrew & remove the small Phillips screw securing the battery door, and set it aside. Remove the battery door, drop it into any convenient waste bin (wastepaperbasket), dump the waste bin into the wheelie bin (wheeled outdoor garbage can) on garbage night, and wait for the dustcart (garbage truck) to dump your wheelie bin and drive away...O WAIT!!! YOU'LL NEED THAT!!! So just set it aside instead.

Remove the three used AA cells from the battery compartment, and dispose of or recycle them as you see fit.

Install three new AA cells, orienting each one so that its flat-end (-) negative faces the spring for it in each chamber.

Finally, place the battery door back on, and screw in that small screw.
Aren't you glad that you didn't throw the silly thing away so that the dustman (garbage man) would haul it to a landfill now?

This is a decorative mood lamp intended to be used in a dry area indoors, not a flashlight meant to be thrashed, bashed, 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 Metalmarineangemon - er - the bare Metaltrailmon - um that's not it either...the bare Metalparrotmon...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 small 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 the TV program "Viva Piñata" too much 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 analyses, or perform other indecencies on it that a flashlight might have to have performed on it. Therefore, this section of the Color-Changing Twister Light's web page will seem a bit more bare than this section of the web page on a page about a flashlight.

TEST NOTES:
Test unit was purchased on the Things You Never Knew Existed website on 03-06-14 and was received on 03-13-14.

UPDATE: 10-16-14
This lamp appears to be whirling down the {vulgar slang term for a fudge bunny}bowl; please see the latest video to see what I mean. The red LEDs have ceased functioning.

As a result, the dreadful, "

" has been appended to its listings on this website, denoting partial failure of product.

PROS:
Significantly brighter than I expected from a product using AA cells and sporting a motor
Batteries it uses are common and relatively inexpen$ive

NEUTRAL:
Battery life isn't expected to be all that great; however it does have an AC adapter input

CONS:
Could become busted (a potentially messy situation) if dropped onto a hard surface such as an uncarpeted floor
