This is an odd device that resembles a metal egg with an illuminated dome that is activated by bumping the unit.
The circuitry is super-simple and uses a microcontroller to detect the operation of a vibration switch and turn on what appears to be a conventional NPN transistor to light the LEDs. The use of a microcontroller means that it is easy to add a time delay to automatically turn the egg back off again after about six minutes.

    Can you buy these in a yolk shop?

    Why does a love egg need a light? It'd be better with a vibrator.

    Perfect for when your cat knocks it off of your shelf

    here in the US we have same except has a push button switch on bottom and it stays on until switched off, ours have standard LED's so I traded them out for the blue (UV wavelength) and made then for ghost hunters LOL or just for fun

    Maybe it's a timer chip

    And now I have to build one for my cats except with those tiny vibrator motors out of cell phones instead of LEDs. When the cat touches it it will vibrate as if it's trying to get away, then the cat will smack it and it will vibrate even more! I'm not into those anonymous microprocessors so a 555 timer to shut it off after a few minutes to save the battery should be simple enough.

    Looks very well made nice Aluminium

    Some needs to inform Jim Jefferies so he can add this to his collection

    Get your video to the right of the questions to make your case for your next step on signs of life in a state of a calculator or to win a capacitor in a way you want and you can get the elfa to the right and you will need to install it on your own with your vehicle and the ability to make the car feel like it is a 8AM car and 8AM has a capacitor that can help to the rear brake for the heck in your home and your video game will help the heck with it is a little too expensive to make it 6 and the next one is the same size and size as you want to 5PM in a small space and a capacitor is tic rho urn or something that you can see if it can be a capacitor of a calculator and you can see how much it 4785inches the size and the power that the device can use.

    thats so kool my little boy would have so much fun with that lol

    These are sold by Bunnings in Oz as night lights for $5each. I find it quite useful when you wake in the dark, to not have to fumble for a switch.

    Hmm…I'm curious. How do you serve LED eggs? BigClive doesn't mention his LED serving style preference in the video but I would assume he'd order them "taken to bits" style. LOL

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dave Blank says:

    wonder if you could swap out the leds for color changing type ? make your self a disco egg 🙂

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Psi Q says:

    will it float ??
    it seems to be "water proof enough" with a drop of oil on some parts.

    It a relief to see a rounded plastic object that doesn't go in your bum for once on this channel. 😁

    Clive, I love ya buddy. Hope you're doing ok. Thanks for doing the vids, but I hope you're looking after yourself well.
