Review on Neo LOONS Balloon Standby Decoration by Gary Davis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for decoration but not great for general lighting

My wife bought these for our son's garden party. The lights are round and fall in balloons (not included). Each is as bright as a mini flashlight, so they emit very little light. Throw one or more balloons at the balloon and blow it up. Tie and done. Easy. However, the light is exactly half of any sphere light. The battery is at the bottom so the light falls on the balloon. Add one to a balloon and you have a little lantern. In my opinion, thicker and translucent balloons work better than transparent balloons when you want to use light-colored objects as markers. Clear balloons are better for lighting, but aren't very bright. They're good for decoration, but not as good as the sole light source. A fun thing to note is that because the lights are round, hitting the balloons (or a slight breeze) will cause the light to roll in. It's fun at first, but after a while it can start to flicker, a distracting nuisance. Also, the battery lasts quite a long time, so save the tabs and you can put them back in and use the light again (probably quite a bit). multiple times).

Pros
  • Looks good
Cons
  • Very expensive
