Review on ๐Ÿ”ฆ Minecraft Redstone Torch 12.6 Inch LED Lamp - USB Rechargeable Nightlight, Costume Cosplay, Roleplay by Kevin Campos

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Works but seems overpriced

My kids love Minecraft and this flashlight ended up in my shopping cart. Its design fits right in with the game's aesthetic, although it's a bit thick, making it more difficult for small hands to hold it with one hand. I wish it had a timer that would turn it off after a while and save battery life, but my kids are learning to be responsible. It has a cool design feature: you can fold over the triangular section at the bottom and then mount it on the wall at an angle - much like how torches are attached to a block in the game. We haven't used this feature personally, but it's a good concept. The power button is discreetly hidden on the side. I don't like the battery. For some reason it makes a high pitched but faint squeak when charging, which always makes me nervous about not leaving the room unattended. I may be old fashioned but I prefer regular batteries for things like this. Did I mention that there is no charging cable included? You will need to provide your own micro USB cable which luckily we already had for another device. Regardless, my kids love it, so most Minecraft fans will probably enjoy it. I think it's about $10 overpriced for what it is, especially with the cheap vibe of the charging feature. It also states quite clearly that once the light has burned out it cannot be replaced, meaning the entire toy has to be thrown away. Not perfect.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than others
