Anyone have any experience of these ?
I bought 2 of them recently, at $7.50, reduced from 1998's $33.
They are an official product, built into a Zippo lighter case, auto-switched on/off by the same method you'd use to open a Zippo lighter.
They use a tiny bi-pin bulb, set into a reflector, all built into a slide-in unit with the battery pack.
This can be opened up without difficulty, to reveal 2 "AAAA type" batteries.
These AAAA type "things" are uninsulated, bare metal, with a button at one end, and 40mm long.
My Energizer AAAA's are 42mm long, with buttons on both ends. They won't fit in without major/minor works - I don't think I will try.
The "instructions" say that you can buy a new battery pack, and that they will fit almost any Zippo lighter.
Frankly, they have a marred and small light output, which turning the threaded reflector doesn't seem to change.
Cute but nearly useless describes them well.
Maybe I could use them for a conversion ......
