PULSATING/GLOWING EYE(BALL)

Glowing/Pulsating Eye(ball), retail $1.99
Manufactured by (Unknown) for Halloween Express (Halloween Express
Last updated 09-23-09




The Glowing/Pulsating Eye(ball) is a novelty / seasonal product made specifically for Halloween.

It has three LEDs (one each red, green, and blue) in the "ball" portion that perform a "color wash" effect whenever the product is thrown or bounced on a hard surface (it's a ball; you're supposed to throw or bounce it!)

It comes in an all-rubbery-feeling plastic body (surprise, surprise, surprise ***NOT*** considering it cost less than two dollars!) and feeds from unknown-type and unknown number of batteries concealed within.

It is made by an unknown company for being sold at Halloween Express; distributed by Dillon Inc.


SIZE



To use the Glowing/Pulsating Eye(ball), simply bounce or throw it against a hard surface; the LEDs inside will automatically come on, put on a little light show for you, then automatically turn off 12 seconds later (this was timed on a clock with a second hand on it).



The Glowing/Pulsating Eye(ball) appears to be a disposable product, so I don't have to tell you which part to remove and chuck into an open grave so that zombies become angry at it and uranate on it - then rather emphatically tell you not to.

Unable to measure current due to how the product was constructed and how it functions.



This is a Halloween novelty light, not a flashlight designed to be carried around, thrashed, trashed, and abused. So I won't stomp on it, try to drown it in the toliet bowl or the cistern, run over it, swing it against the concrete floor of an outdoor patio, use a small ball peen hammer in order to bash it open to check it for candiosity, fire it from the cannoņata, drop it 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 {In the episode "Les Saves the Day...Again", Paulie Preztail says "Hey, ever wonder why this park's called 'Mount Erupto' anyway?", then Franklin Fizzlybear says "I think its an old native term. Means 'very safe.'"}), send it to the Daystrom Institute for additional analysis, or inflict upon it punishments that flashlights (that were born to be flashlights and nothing but flashlights) may have inflicted upon them.

So this section of the Glowing/Pulsating Eye(ball)'s evaluation will appear SIGNIFICANTLY more bare than this section of the web page on a page about a flashlight.

Test unit was purchased at a Halloween Express store in Federal Way WA. USA on 09-21-09.

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.
