Product description
You submitted samples of a Halloween LED Suction Light, identified as item # 91226, which consists of decorations made of acrylic plastic and molded in the shapes of a skull, jack-o’-lantern, bat and spider, respectively. Each decorative form measures approximately 2-1/2” in width x 3-1/2” in length, and incorporates a battery-operated color changing LED light that is mounted inside the top of the translucent shape. One end of a plastic-coated wire is attached to the outside top of each plastic shape while the other end of the wire is attached to a suction cup. When the suction cup is affixed to a window, the attached wire allows the plastic shape to hang down. On the back of each suction cup is a slide switch and a battery compartment. The batteries are included. When the slide switch is moved to the “on” position, the plastic shape is illuminated in an array of changing colors. Although referred to as a “light”, the Halloween LED Suction Light utilizes light purely for its decorative effect to furnish illumination to the plastic shapes themselves, and does not illuminate the surrounding area. The Halloween LED Suction Light is purely a decorative article for Halloween.
