I honestly don't know exactly what this light is for, so I'm kinda shooting from the hip here. They (yes, "they") were a Christmas gift from my sister in Washington state in 2008; they came with no packaging materials of any type.

I believe this is a light designed for you to wave around at raves, dance parties, New Year's Eve parties, and the like.

When activated, a small rectangular panel on it brightly alternates between blue & green, and continues to do so for as long as the generously-sized, easy-to-use button on its front is pressed.

It is powered by unknown-type lithium coin cells.
Please see the battery changing section to read why the battery(ies) is (are) "unknown" here.

To use the light, just gently press & hold down the large circular button on its front. This button is fairly sensitive; you need not press it especially hard. While this button is held down, the unit will emit a bright glow from the transparent, prismatic window on its front - this window alternates between green and blue with a cycle time of ~1.5Hz (it alternates approximately three times every two seconds).

Releasing pressure on the button turns it off.



This product appears to have been designed to be disposable; I cannot find any easy way to access the battery(ies) to change it (them) when necessary.

Therefore, I do not have to tell you which part to remove, gently place on the floor at the top of the basement stairs, kick down those stairs so that the piss ants will think it's something yummy to eat, and then rather emphatically tell you not to.



These are party lights, not flashlights meant to be carried around, thrashed, trashed, and abused, so I won't try to drown them in the toliet tank, bash them against a steel rod or against the concrete floor of a patio, let my housemate's citty kats go to the litterbox or my parent's puppy dog's ghost lift his leg on them, run over them with a 450lb Celebrity motorised wheelchair, stomp on them, use a large claw hammer in order to smash them open to check them for candiosity, fire them from the cannoņata, drop them down the top of Mt. Erupto (I guess I've been watching the TV program "Viva Piņata" too much again - candiosity is usually checked with a laser-type device on a platform with a large readout (located at Piņata Central), with a handheld wand that Langston Lickatoad uses, or with a pack-of-cards-sized device that Fergy Fudgehog uses; the cannoņata (also located at Piņata Central) is only used to shoot piņatas to piņata parties away from picturesque Piņata Island, and Mt. Erupto is an active volcano on Piņata Island), send them to the Daystrom Institute for additional analysis, or perform other indecencies on these party lights that flashlights might have to have performed on them. These were also a Christmas gift from my sister in Spanaway WA. USA. So this section of the web page about the Tigi Party Lights will be ***SIGNIFICANTLY*** more bare than this section of the web page on a page about a flashlight.

In fact, that photograph, pair of spectrographic analyses, and video clip below may pretty much be it here.
