I seen these yesterday and decided to buy two for my kids as night lights. If you read this blog a lot you may be thinking “Hey didn’t he just buy his kids some night lights from Mathmos?” and you’d be right. You’d really be creeping me out by the amount of energy and time you put into reading my blog but you’d be right. I did just buy a couple Mathmos lights for my kids a few month back (here is the post about that) and they totally love them. The only problem is that they are not working very well these days. It could be from leaving them plugged on or perhaps just a defect in the lights but they have both started flickering a lot. So much so that they have even woke the kids up in the middle of the night.
These look pretty cool and to be honest I will probably like them more than my kids will since they totally remind of the my Nintendo Mario days when the mushroom saved my life so many times before. I sure hope the $12 price tag doesn’t mean they will die an early death but I will keep you all posted.
UPDATE: My kids have been using these now for a few weeks and I have to say they are cool to look at at night time. They don’t give off much light and feel a bit flimsy at first. I will say the battery usage is amazing. We have had them on for a few hours each night, from the time my kids go to bed at 8pm until I go to bed at 11pm, and we still have the same batteries in them. I must not I have had them for nearly 2 months now. Over all I will say they are worth the price.
