Wel, thuh kompenie thaat maiks thuh Color-Changing Pumpkin Lite kant spel thuh werd "light", but that's alright -- they still make a mainly decent product.
This is a color-change (color wash and blinking color change) light designed for you to put inside a Halloween Jack'O Lantern (carved pumpkin); it is meant to replace candles and thus, make the Jack'O Lantern safe and windproof.
It is a flat, circular (puck-shaped) device that has a surprisingly potent 5mm RGB (Red/Green/Blue) LED in it.
They are designed with a battery that is meant to be replaceable, so you can use them year after year.
SIZE
Slide the small black slide switch on the underside of the unit toward the right (as you're looking at the bottom of the unit) to turn it on.
Slide the small black slide switch on the underside of the unit toward the left to neutalise it.
Turn the unit upside-down, and unclip & remove the battery hatch.
If necessary, remove and dispose of or recycle the used CR2032 lithium coin cell from the compartment.
Insert a new CR2032 lithium coin cell in the compartment, orienting it so that the button-end (-) negative goes in first.
Place the battery door back on, pres it until it clicks into place, and there, all finished.
Unable to measure current usage due to how the product was constructed and how it functions.
This product is made entirely of plastic (the outer portions anyway), so "The Smack Test" would not be very appropriate.
The product is also not too water-resistant; there are no O-rings or other environmental seals visible in it. Clean them with a damp cloth before storage - that ought to be kosher with them.
I strongly believe that it would flunk "The Toliet Test" quite handily so I won't even administer it.
They do appear durable enough that slightly manhandling them (dropping them a short distance) should not cause any harm to befall them.
