I've been won over this morning upon receipt of my package from Ryan.
Have been dying to try this out & due to the new, smaller size was a bit dubious,,,
How wrong could I have been!?
Superb throw of light, used Eye of the beholder as a sample set up in daylight & darkened conditions, it performs admirably.
Leds are the same, unit is now a small puck, & battery compartment accessed by a small phillips screw (tiny)
There is even a little hooking point to ease the backplate acces to battery compartment without getting riled up, nice touch.
The on / off button is raised profile (pronounced & actually easier to locate than the rainbow light.
has a good clear "click" & feels well sprung for such a cheap product.
Wish I'd bought more!
Additional: the flicker is from fast on off cycle, I stared at the 3 leds (as long as I could) & the reason these are so good is it's an efficient on off motion from the 3 at once wothout it looking like it's flashing, the lights make the flame effect appear to be guttering (when the candle is staying alight "just")
10 /10
NB if you are putting it in a wet soaked pumpkin you will need to smear some protection on it to prevent water ingression.
