Bargain Buy ... from Poundland

#1 Post by MichaelG. » Thu Nov 29, 2018 6:12 pm

360° Orb COB Robot Light [sic]

This is silly-cheap [£2 despite the company's name] and has great potential:
Either use it as designed, or use the half-ball as a tilting table, and the front section as a lamp.
... Let your imagination run free

I had intended to post some photos, but this chap has kindly done a video:

Thanks Michael, just picked one up.

Amazing value...it even comes with batteries.

The alternative use as a tilting table for a stereo or arranging a subject for macro photography is not to be overlooked either.
