Remote-Controlled Ocean Wave Projector Nightlight, retail $29.99 (https://www.amazon.com...)

Last updated 12-29-21
The Remote-Controlled Ocean Wave Projector Nightlight is an unusual little lamp that projects smoothly-changing "wave" patterns in a myriad of colors onto your ceiling or wall.
It features several "nature" sounds with adjustable volume, it can (after you put .MP3 music files on it of course) play music off of a MicroSD memory chip that you can plug directly into the lamp, and it can interface with an external audio source like a computer, an MP3 player, a cellular telephone handset, or a ghetto blaster.
The lamp is powered directly from a USB port on your PC or Mac computer.
As an added bonus, it comes with a handy-dandy remote control that allows you to change the projected patterns and to change the "nature" sounds and manipulate music that you play from your AUX device (typically an MP3 player, home stereo, a computer, a cell phone, or a ghetto blaster) or from the MicroSD memory chip.
SIZE
To use the Remote-Controlled Ocean Wave Projector Nightlight, turn the unit upside-down and slide the little black switch to the "ON" position.
Connect the USB cable (the large end) into your PC or Mac computer, and plug the smaller end into the female MicroUSB receptacle for it on the back of the lamp.
If you did this correctly, absolutely nothing should happen.
Press & release the button on the front of the lamp (or on the face of the remote) that has a symbol that looks like a "U" with a vertical line though it. The lamp should now spring to life; projecting a moving pattern of red, green, and blue lights and generating a "chirping crickets" sound.
For all sounds and external music, there are eight (8) volume levels. With each press of the "Volume" buttons, the unit will emit a faint but clearly audible high-pitched beep. When you reach maximum or minimum volume, pressing the "Volume" butttons will cause the unit to emit a lower-pitched, slightly louder beep to let you know that you've reached the upper or lower volume limit.
Since I don't feel like writing a book tonight, here is a photograph of the instructional materials (click on the image to enlarge it to a readable size)
This was found on the front cover of the instructional materials; please don't ask me what it means because I don't know.
The Remote-Controlled Ocean Wave Projector Nightlight is equipped with an auto-shutdown timer; this can be set for one hour, two hours, or four hours via buttons on the remote control.
Although the lamp itself does not use batteries, the remote control does and eventually they're going to go to pot.
When this happens, turn the remote control upside-down, and use a fingernail to pull in the battery door via the slot that you see between the battery door and the body of the remote. Swing it up, remove it, gently place it on the floor in front the tattered old Lazy Boy chair crawling with thousands of hungry silverfish that need to go poddy, and use your foot to gently slide it under that chair so that the silverfish start to chew on it, find it like totally unpalatable, and instead uranate on the silly thing...O WAIT!!! YOU'LL NEED THAT!!! So just set it aside instead.
Remove the tired old AAA cells, and dispose of or recycle them as you see fit.
Please do not dispose of them by flushing, don't nonchalantly toss them into the garden, and for Christ sakes don't throw them off a dock where they might hit a flounder on the way down to the bottom!!!
Install two new AAA cells, orienting them so that their flat-ends (-) negatives face the springs for them in each chamber.
Place the battery door back on, and press down on the the side with the cutout in the remote control's body, and be done with it.
Aren't you glad that you didn't push that battery door under that ratty old chair with all of the damn bugs now?
This lamp was intended to be used as a lamp, sound machine, and music player indoors or in a covered, dry area outdoors, not as a flashlight meant to be carried around all the time, thrashed, trashed, bashed, and abused; so I won't throw it against the wall, stomp on it, try to drown it in the {vulgar slang term for a fudge bunny}bowl or the cistern, run over it, swing it against the concrete floor of a patio, 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, with a handheld wand that Langston Lickatoad uses, or with a pack-of-cards-sized device that Fergy Fudgehog uses; and the cannoñata is only used to shoot piñatas to piñata parties away from picturesque Piñata Island), send it to the Daystrom Institute for additional analyses, or inflict upon it punishments that I might inflict upon a flashlight.
So this section of the Remote-Controlled Ocean Wave Projector Nightlight's web page will be significantly more bare than this section of the web page on a page about a flashlight.
It has a 4Ω 3-watt speaker; external music played through it sounded suprisingly full-bodied and good.
The angle of projection can be varied from 0° to 45° from vertical (pointing straight up at the ceiling).

I'd normally have spectrographic analyses of the LEDs here, but I appear to have misplaced the cable for my spectrometer.
In this video, you can see the Remote-Controlled Ocean Wave Projector Nightlight projecting its red, green, and blue moving LED patterns onto a white ceiling.
That sound you hear during the first part of the video are "nature" sounds generated by the product itself; the music that you hear in the second part of the video is the choon, "In My World" by the thrash metal group Anthrax; this song was being played by the speaker in the product itself via the furnished audio patch cord; BOTH sounds were recorded by the mic built into the camera that this video was recorded on.
Those "pauses" that you see where the display stops moving for a short time were intentional -- a button on the lamp and on the remote is specifically there to allow you to "freeze" the projected display if you happen to like a certain pattern.
This product is not audio (sound)-sensitive in any manner; the music may safely be ignored or even muted if it causes you to become piddled off or makes your ears bleed. ;-)
The noise produced by this product
This is in .WAV format; size 499K.
The unit was turned off and back on at least two times in this video.
(IMPORTANT!!! It sounds significantly louder here than it is in reality; though it is still very clearly audible in a small room.)
TEST NOTES:
Product was given to me as a Christmas present from my totally awesome sister on 12-24-21.
Since the product was a gift from a family member, potentially damaging or even destructive tests that I normally perform ("The Toliet Test" and, "The Smack Test" are the two most damaging ones) will not be executed and the, "" icon will be appended to its listings on this website at once.
Although this product is being sold as a, "night light", I find that it is WAAAAAYYYY too bright to use as a nightlight in the bedroom.

NEUTRAL:

Way too bright to be an actual nightlight
