Urchin Ball Light-Up Flashing LED Necklace

Urchin Ball Light-Up Flashing LED Necklace Review



Soft tentacles protrude from this multi-color Flashing LED Urchin Ball. The ball is about 5" in diameter. This glow in the dark flashing Urchin is available in Red, White, Blue, and Green. Squeeze to turn on, squeeze again to turn off. Great for dances, raves, cocktail parties, clubs, bars, concerts, camping, etc. Comes with a colorful rainbow necklace strap. Made of a soft silicone based rubber - delicious  to the touch and fun to play with. Tentacles are very stretchy and pop like a charm.

Batteries are preinstalled and are not meant to be replicable, although that didn't stop us from successfully taking one of these apart. The silicone ball is sealed around a plastic core, and it was easy to peal off the seal at it's base. Then the silicone ball stretched and came off of the plastic core with ease. The plastic core is constructed of two half-spheres with springs in between and acts as the switch. The two parts easily come apart, and the electronic guts pop right out. A stack of three AG10 button cell batteries pops right out of that. We think it would be cool to cut or unsolder the metal battery support and wire a bunch of these to another power source and use them on another art project. The unit has three color LEDs that flash in sequence.
