I purchased this not because I have a vehicle (I don't), but because it reads "Bright blue LED" on the front of the package.

This is an accent light that plugs directly into the cigerette lighter receptacle on your vehicle's dashboard. It has a brilliant blue LED in it that comes on whenever power is applied to it (usually, when the ignition key is inserted and turned to the "START/RUN" or "ACC" positions).

Before purchasing and using this product, please check your local laws and regulations pertaining to having a blue light on inside a motor vehicle.


SIZE



Take a knife, razor blade, or a pair of household scissors to cut down one side of the package to relieve it of the Dash Glow unit contained securely within.

Then, simply plug it into the female cigerette lighter receptacle in your vehicle.



Because this product does not use disposable batteries, this section can and will be skipped.



This product is made almost entirely out of plastic, so "The Smack Test" really isn't that appropriate here. "The Toilet Test" is also inappropriate, as this product was not meant to be carried around and used outdoors. So this section of the web page will be significantly more bare than this section of the web page on a page about a flashlight.

The light output by this unit is a very slightly greenish blue, coming in at approximately 473nm.

That white color you see in this photograph does not really exist.





TEST NOTES:
Test unit was purchased at Wallgreens on 02-03-06.

Product was made in China. A product's country of origin really does matter to some people, which is why I published it on this web page.
