Jumbo Light-Up Necklace, retail $5.00*
Manufactured by (Unknown)
Last updated 01-05-21
This is a novelty neckace designed to look like a string of fairly accurately-sized C7½ Christmas light bulbs.
It has nine phosphor white LEDs (which I was able to determine not spectrographically as would normall be the case, but by observing the LED directly through a small gap in the colored, "bulb-shaped" covering), and can be set to operate in any of three modes:
1: Unison short blinking
2: Unison long blinking
3: All lamps steady-on
It is large enough to go around the heads of virtually anybody who gets one; no need to worry about it not fitting and/or even snapping and subsequently becoming broken.
* Although it is marked as being $5.00 on the box, I got them for $1.25 because they were on post-holiday disposal sale.
SIZE
Remove the little white plastic tab from the rectangular battery box first.
Press & release the button on the battery box once to initiate short blinking at ~2.5Hz (~5 flashes every 2 seconds).
Press & release the button again to initiate long blinking at ~2.5Hz (~5 flashes every 2 seconds).
Press & release the button again to run all nine LEDs in steady-on mode.
Finally, press & release the button again to turn the necklace off.
To change the batteries, unscrew & remove the small phillips screw from the battery cover located on that small green rectangular box on the necklace's back, and set the tiny screw aside where you won't lose it or vaccum it up (the screw is small, but considerably larger than I expected it to be).
Remove the battery door, gently place it on the floor, and kick it under that Christmas tree you're always forgetting to water...O WAIT!!! YOU'LL NEED THAT!!! So just set it aside instead.
Remove the two used cells from the battery compartment (simply tip the battery box opening-down into the palm of your hand and the cells should just fall right out), and dispose of or recycle them as you see fit.
Insert two new CR1220 cells into the compartment, orienting them button-side (-) negative down.
Place the battery door back on, and screw in that screw.
Screw it in firmly, but not too tightly, or else you'll strip the threads in the screw hole.
Aren't you glad you didn't kick the battery door underneath that dead, dead Christmas tree now?
Because this is a holiday-themed (Christmas, in this case) novelty item and not a flashlight meant to be thrashed, trashed, and abused, I won't throw it against the wall, stomp on it, try to drown it in the toylet bowl or the cistern, run over it, swing it against the concrete floor of a patio, viciously chuck it at one of those wall-mounted porcelain uranators to see if it explodes (the necklace, not the whizzer), use a claw hammer in order to bash it open to check it for candiosity, fire it from the cannoñata (I guess I've been watching the TV program "Viva Piñata" too much again - candiosity is usually checked with a scanner-type device on a platform with a large readout, a handheld wand that Langston Lickatoad uses, or a pack-of-cards-sized device that Fergy Fudgehog uses), send it to the Daystrom Institute for additional analysis, or inflict upon it punishments that flashlights may have inflicted upon them.
The LED Necklace is not water-resistant or submersible, therefore, water, milk, diet vanilla Pepsi, cold (or hot) coffee, micturition (pee), ice cold fizzy root beer, disposable douches, disposable enemas, tranny fluid, gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, brake fluid, motor oil, or other liquids could get inside. So please try not to drop it in creeks, rivers, ponds, lakes, oceansides, docksides, snowbanks, puddles of blue whale pee, tall cold glasses (or short lukewarm glasses) of milk, slush piles, mud puddles, tubs, root beer floats, toilet bowls, cisterns, sinks, cups of coffee (hot *OR* cold), fishtanks, dog water dishes, old yucky wet mops, wall-mounted porcelain uranators, leaky water heaters, busted garden hoses, puddles of antifreeze, brake fluid, tranny fluid, gasoline, or other places where water or water-like liquids might be found. And you'll probably want to cover it up or otherwise get rid of it (such as by putting it in a very large pocket or in a bag) if you need to carry it in rainy or snowy weather.
If it fell in water and you suspect it got flooded, dump out the water if necessary, and set it in a warm dry place for a day or so just to be sure it's completely dry inside before you use it again.
If it fell into seawater, got thrown into a glass of milk, if it fell in a root beer float, if it fell into a bowl of "soft-serv" ice cream, if somebody squirted a Massengill brand post-menstrual disposable douche or a Fleet brand disposable enema at it (and hit it with the douche or the enema), or if somebody or something pee'd on it, rinse it out with fresh water before setting it out to dry. You don't want your necklace to smell like seaweed, sour milk, flowers, fresh butts, or rotten piss when you go to use it next. Besides, salt (from seawater, disposable douches, disposable enemas, or uranation), lactic acid (from moo juice), glycerol (from antifreeze), or sugar (from root beer & ice cream) can't be very good for the insides.
Steady on mode really isn't steady on; the LEDs rapidly strobe (probably using PWM {Pulse Width Modulation}); this helps to lengthen the life of those tiny little coin cells.

TEST NOTES:
Test unit was purchased at a Right Aid store in Freso CA. USA on 01-03-21.
* Gay = bright and lively, *NOT* homosexual!
UPDATE: 00-00-00
PROS:
Very colorful and gay*
CONS:
Batteries that it needs could be a bit difficult to find on short notice
Not as bright as I expected; would work just fine in subdued ambient lighting however
Has a bit of a "cheap" feel -- but many products of "Hoo Phlung Pu" origin do
