...and what's the difference in size between a "golf" pencil and a regular one, for those of use who've never been to a golf course?

gold pencils are about 2-3 inches long and with no eraser. They are sometimes handed out when you take surveys, SATs, and other tests that require a pencil when you don't have one. A regular pencil is about 7 inches long.

rephrase: a wee bit thicker but no longer than a birthday candle
oh yeah - thanks again craig- today a the P.O. i was short some money and was worried i would not be able to send all the stuff out and have to delay delivery a few days- then i rechecked the wallet and guess what i saw hiding in an ad! opened it up and there was a $20 primed for spending- your a life saver! thanks!

I've seen those lights before, didn't impress me that much.

I get it, thanks. Sounds like the same little "stubbies" they have lying around in places where you buy lottery tickets.

What kind of battery(ies) does this thing use? Single RGB LED or three discrete ones?

Where did you find them at Target. What department?

 

[Quickbeam]

They're in the back with the flashlights. Near extention cords. They're cute, but I'll save the $7 to put toward a real flashlight. It does change to all the colors of the rainbow.

In the Targets nearest me in NJ they not only has the NeoGlo, but they also has the CK Sauce for 9.99 in a blister pack. I paid 15 for mine in one of those specialty shops at a local Mall.
Craig, the stubby colorwash keychain uses LR41's accordion to the package. I believes this is one of the sizes that you has difficulty obtaining. I not sure of they avablility, but Targets theyselves didn't stock that particilar battery. Plenty of LR44's thought, but I get mines from ebay. Much cheaper there.

Finally got a chance to swing by Target last night and they had a nice size stock of these things. I picked up 5 of them. One for myself, and the rest to give as gifts.

Pretty nifty device. Kind of high tech looking. Has a plastic 'wand' that has a pattern inside that lights up nicely.

Switch is on the end of the device and can operate in 'momentary' or 'always on' modes.

You can unscrew the plastic "wand" to reveal the LED's. Has 3 discreet micro size (and I do mean itty bitty) surface mounted LED's. In my opinion, they are very bright for their small size.

Looks kinda cool when you stare strait at the LED's!! You don't get the color mixing when you do that, instead, you see the individual LED's and they are quite intense.

Just noticed that there appears to be a clear lens over the LED's, (or is the actual packaging for a single RGB LED???) Very interesting.

Looks nice with the wand attached also.

With the batteries being so small, I suspect they will have a short life. I'll just have to see how that goes. Looks like another trip out to Ebay to get some of them at a cheap price.........

I think they are a great value at only $5.99. If you are an LED addict and there is a Target near by, I think you will want to check these out.
