Last updated 04-29-14





The ''Squishy Pantone'' Jellyfish2 Color Lamp is a very mesmerizing product; he can display 16,000,000 (sixteen million) colors in several different patterns; there is also a static mode that allows the lamp to continuously display a number of different colors (red, orange, yellow, green, cycan, blue, and purple) that you can easily select with the push of a button on his handy-dandy remote control unit.

He comes in a plastic body, and has quite a number of RGB (red/green/blue) LEDs both under his smoky-tinted diffusing dome and on his underside.

The ''Squishy Pantone'' Jellyfish2 Color Lamp is almost ready to use as soon as you tear open the box (and in this case, you'll want to tear it out of the box pronto -- yes, it's really that good!). Plug the AC adapter into any convenient 100 volts to 240 volts AC 50 to 60Hz household receptacle (users outside the United States and Canada may need to procure an adapter to change the style of AC prongs; the AC adapter itself requires no voltage conversion), and plug the small plug on the end of its cord into the receptacle for it on the back of the lamp.

Remove the small plastic tab from the bottom edge of the small remote, and THEN you'll be ready to emulate a sea critter!

Press & release the button near the upper left surface of the remote to turn ''Squishy Pantone'' on. If that doesn't blow you away, try some of his other modes!


This is the remote control that comes with this lamp.
Please note that this remote is IR (infrared), not radio -- so you'll have to aim it at the lamp much as you would have to aim the television remote at the TV.


This is from the furnished instructional materials (in reverse colors; it comes in white with dark lettering); I'm currently unable to read this small text due to cataracts (which I'm going to have surgery for on 05-04-14).



This product is line-powered, so I don't have to tell you which part to remove, huck down the basement stairs so that it lands near the washing machine who's base is crawling with thousands of hungry carpet beetle grubs (larvae) with full pissinary bladders, and then rather emphatically tell you not to.

Just plug the AC adapter into any convenient 100 volts to 240 volts AC household receptacle, and plug the small plug on the end of its cord into the receptacle for it on the back of the lamp.



This is a household lamp, not a flashlight meant to be bashed, 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 Metalmarineangemon - er - the bare Metaltrailmon - um that's not it either...the bare Metalsusanoomon...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!!!), 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 medium ball peen 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 ''Squishy Pantone'' Jellyfish2 Color Lamp's web page will seem a bit more bare than this section of the web page on a page about a flashlight.

That music that you hear is zax called, "When the Heavens Fall" by Purple Motion of the pee-cee demo group, "Future Crew" from 1994.

The ''Squishy Pantone'' Jellyfish2 Color Lamp isn't audio (sound)-sensitive; the zax may safely be ignored or even muted if it torques you off.

TEST NOTES:
Test unit was purchased on the ThinkGeek website on 04-18-14 and was received at 6:24pm PDT on 04-23-14.

The AC adapter has an output of +7.50 volts at 1.0 amps.


UPDATE: 04-28-14
If the "Power" button on the remote is pressed & released multiple times, the LEDs on the underside of this lamp will be extinguished (this function can be toggled with the same button); this makes Squishy Pantone even more appropriate for use as a nightlight.


PROS:
Amazing, mesmerizing light show!
Bright enough to see in high ambient light but on the lower intensity settigs, he is dim enough to also use as a nightlight
Power consumption is reasonably low (10 watts tops)


NEUTRAL:
Underside lights can be a bit bright if he's used as a nightlight


CONS:
Can be a bit difficult to learn -- that's what nocked ½ star from his already stellar rating
