The Giz Wiz #2096, Recorded Thursday June 18, 2026
We kicked off the show with another “What The Heck Is It?” gadget.
That weird gadget was the L LOHAS Night Light Jellyfish Projector.
As you’ll see in the video on this week’s show, it’s
almost scary to some. It’s said to be able to be used in any socket direction (vertical or horizontal), but I didn’t find it easy to turn, and gave up, thinking I might break it. The RGB lighting modes are effective though. It has three lighting modes: 9-color solid colors, 3000K Soft White, and an RGB gradient cycle. When you unpack it, you have to click in the tentacles at the bottom, so if you find them too scary, you could use the night light without them. I thought it was on the expensive side at $27.99.

Having trouble with ants in your house?
This ‘solution’ works, but it may also create a problem that many have mentioned in their reviews.
The Terro Ant Killer Bait Stations are liquid ant bait stations targeting common household ants. The company says: “It
contains a borax-based formula that attracts worker ants to consume and carry back to the colony, effectively eliminating both visible ants and hidden nest populations for complete indoor ant killer control. Ready-to-use ant bait stations require no setup and can be placed along baseboards, corners, countertops, and other high-traffic areas where ants commonly travel for optimal ant trap indoor pest control results.” Excellent reviews 4.6 out of 5 stars from 157,350+ reviews! But the problem, lots of people said the liquid leaks out of the bait traps once you cut the cap as directed. It made a sticky mess on my desk. It did get rid of the ants, but clean-up wasn’t easy. I paid $10.96 & it was still that price on 6/18/26

A Very Useful Versatile Screw-in Ceiling LED/Fan Combo
The company says their Peaoop Fan-Lamp “adopts a high light transparent lampshade design, with

Don’t worry it doesn’t have a rain function. I assume that’s a visual breeze.
transparent ABS blades.” Er, okay, but it looks sort of like many other combo LED-fan combos I’ve seen. But this fixture does have some features others don’t have. You can vary the color temperature from 2400K to 6000K. And it comes with a decent remote control. It has a 1 hour, 2 hour, 4 hour timer, and some diming abilities. You do have to connect the socket to the base, but it’s fairly simple with a single click of the two seperate AC wires. The base of the LED is the pretty standard E27 lamp. It got decent ratings on Amazon and the price when I bought it was just $21.16. It was still that price on 6/18/26.

Chad’s Crappy Corner
Chad’s new Cheap Gadget Theme for June, as voted on by our loyal Patreons is: Miniature Gadgets! Chad’s third Minature gadget are actually 3 mini gadgets.
First was the MAGIKON Mini Slot Machine Toy. This Mini Slot Machine Toy features a
classic spinning reel operated by a manual handle for interactive fun. BUT Chad pointed out the items are the wheels are printed on, so there’s no much variety to the results of the spins. But is designed as novelty item perfect for attaching to keys or bags as a whimsical keychain accessory.
It was $6.95 on Amazon. If you go there, you’ll find a lot of options, some are even less expensive.
Mini Money — Chad bought the 1:12 Dollhouse Miniature Scene SXFSE Mini 200
Pieces Dollar Bills Set.
You get 200 really tiny bills for $6.99. I put a link to Amazon where you’ll find dozens of all kinds of mini-money bills to choose from. Some choices there offer you more mini money for your real money, than Chad got.
Tiny Playing Cards.
This Miniature Lukeerit Deck of cards has a size of 0.59 x 0.39in. You get a
total 54 cards. But watch this weeks show to see how really small they are and how you have to punch each card out a large cardboard sheet. Chat $4.99 for two decks.

Dick’s Gadget Warehouse
Our email this week is from Andy Egizi who writes:
Hi Dick & Chad:
Been loving the show as always. Your backyard is looking great.
I wanted to show you and Chad my new e-reader https://youtu.be/8d3_QnW6LZE 
The X4 model has: 4.3 inch e-ink screen (the newer X3 model has an even smaller 3.7 inch screen)
650 mAh battery (with regular use, a charge should last two weeks) – Comes with a 16 GB memory card
You can wirelessly upload ePub files by creating a device hotspot or by using Calibre.
If you buy from a US site, it will come with Chinese-made firmware in English, but a community of users has created CrossPoint Reader (which is what you see in my video.). I’m sorta techie but not a programmer so refreshing a device is not something I generally try, but switching the firmware to CrossPoint was super-easy and only took a minute.
Here is the Amazon page https://amzn.to/4oJTE84
If you like the selfie-light/booklight, that’s a Wuben E1, which I got on Kickstarter a long time ago but found it for sale at Walmart
