These seem to be quite common on eBay these days, so I thought it would be a good idea to take a closer look at one. The most unique feature is that the linear neon style strip is pressed into a custom moulded frame and is optimised for low voltage use.
Here's a general eBay search link for this type of unit:-

If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:-

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.

I HATE the battery box. it s completely useless. batteries cost an arm . rechargeable batteries are a pain in the butt and the box is hanging loose, its annoying and ugly. Why can t they make it with USB ONLY. Wake up !
I just got a USB powered one of these on clearance at walmart. Mine draws around half an amp.
They had a cloud one too. I ended up removing one of the LEDs from the tape because it was cut and not lighting up. I powered it and the LEDs themselves are yellow for the star.
What kind of wire do they use? Would it be possible to strip those and connect to them a battery clip?
I have a couple of these and I'm wondering if there's a way to remove the plastic battery case? I only use the USB feature and the battery packs are keeping me from hanging these on my wall since they're bulky and would be super visible.
Came here just to see how bright these lights are. Come out with a Dickies UK review and a Physics Course Lesson. Can't hate this man.
Those sleeves give the illusion that clive's hands are really tiny
I've seen enough of what's inside these things to not watch another Clive video about it.
i bought 2 blue stars it lit up on 2 sides
What happened to the giant calculator that you can smash heads with?
borat joke :/
These might make good race gates for flying my micro quads through the house! I wonder if the star could be heated to bend into more of a circle or rectangle??
FYI, the material on those Dickies sleeves is creating a moiré interference pattern with the camera.
