Antler Light-Up (Christmas) Headband, retail $3.99*
Manufactured by (Unknown)
Last updated 02-23-22
This is a novelty headband designed to look like a pair of antlers on a reindeer.
It has four red LEDs that flash for a predetermined amount of time, then they self-terminate.
* Although it is marked as being $5.99 on the packaging materials, I got it for $3.99 because they were on pre-holiday sale.
SIZE
Press & release the button on the top of the antlers' battery box (encased in a red cloth) once to initiate short blinking at ~2.5Hz (~5 flashes every 2 seconds).
The antlers are self-terminating; that is, they'll neutralise themselves after approx. 15 seconds.
So, there are no switches or buttons to fuss with or forget.
This appears to be a disposable product; there is no obvious way to access the battery box. The flap of red fabric that you might pull back has been glued into place.
I attempted to cut it away with a razor knife if only to see what kind of and how many cells were in there, but I did not meet with success.
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 antlers, 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.
So this section of the Antler Light-Up (Christmas) Headband's web page will be more bare than this section of the page about a flashlight.
One thing that I immediately noted was that the antlers felt very tight and constricting when they were put on; this leads me to believe that they are solely intended for use by children, not adults.
The headband where it belongs -- on my head of course.
My left eye is what's known as a, "googly eye" -- it became fuxxored during serious brain surgery that I had in late-September 2002.
