Description
This little disco light keyring plugs straight into a phone's USB-C port and throws flecks of coloured light around it. The clear dome is faceted all over like a miniature mirror ball and sits on a slim black base with the USB-C plug at the back. When it lights up, it scatters flashing spots of red, green and violet over nearby walls and surfaces. It measures about 4cm across and 3.6cm tall and weighs only 14 grams, so it is small enough to forget about until the lights go down.
We like it for the evenings when the music goes on at home and the main lights go off: in a living room, a bedroom, or on a desk or bedside table. With no water rating, it is for dry rooms indoors. Because it rides on the phone itself, it moves from room to room with the phone, with nothing to wire in and no stand to find. It suits anyone who likes a little fun with their playlist, and it makes a cheerful addition to a quiet night in with friends.
It is made from plastic and metal. It takes its power through the USB-C connection, rated at 5V and 0.6W, so there is no separate cable or plug to carry. When it is not in use, it doubles as a keyring: a short cord of about 4.5cm links it to a split ring 2.5cm in diameter, which keeps it secure on a set of keys or a bag, ready for the next evening in. To keep the dome clear, unplug it and wipe it with a soft dry cloth now and then. Pop it in a gift bag for a small, cheerful present that will come out at the first chance.
