I’ve Seen The Light!!! (And this isn’t it.)
Stand Back! I’m Going To Demo The Five Nuclear Anti-Explosion Powerful Flashlight!
First, some selling points from online: Powerful lamp beads can produce up to100,000 lumen, 40 times more than ordinary incandescent lights, easily illuminate a playground or focus on 3280 feet of objects! USB Rechargeable Five-core Super Bright Led Flashlight, Handheld Long-Range Spotlight Searchlight, Outdoor Portable Waterproof Flashlight. Bright enough to illuminate the darkest night, cob side lights can be used as maintenance, work lights or home emergency backup lights. The shell is made of high-quality ABS+PS material, and the lens adopts an optical flat lens, which is light and durable. Excellent heat dissipation performance, has functions such as waterproof and impact resistance. Maximum range is higher than 800-1000 meters. USP fast charging, compatible with a variety of charging methods. (I assume they mean USB charging, it ships with a micro-USB cable. How powerful is this flashlight? You won’t believe it!!! And not in a good way. Watch the show to see this flashlight “in action!”

Hot Weather’s Coming — Help Is On The Way!
Two Of My New Favorite Fans!
This is a very versatile fan, with a sort of strange Amazon name: JISULIFE . It’s folds small enough to fit into a pocket and it has a 4800 mAh battery that can double as an emergency phone charger. And a flashlight that can double as a task light as you’ll see on today’s show. After a full charge which takes 3-4 hours the company says it can get up to 46 fan hours at speed 1 (low), 35 hours at speed 2 (med.), and 13 hours at speed 3 (high). Maximum RPM’s is 3400 rpm which is enough for personal use to keep you cool. The Power Bank Function is 5V/1A which is slow, but probably enough in an emergency. The flashlight feature works when fan is not spinning since they both use the same button. The flashlight is quite bright the task lights works great too. With the included lanyard you can hang it on your wrist or travel backpack. Safety wise, if you touch the blades, the fan instantly stops! With feature plus surge and short circuit protection, this sounds like a handy, safe gadget. Was $15.99 on 6/4/22

You can set it to your favorite, or have the sign cycling through them all. The lighted base plugs into USB (Micro cable included) or you can use 3 AA batteries, not included. Makes a unique gift for the film buff in your life! MSRP: $37.95, but it’s often on sale, and as of 5/28/22 they were offering 15% off & free shipping with code FREE15. From the time I ordered it online to the time I received it was about 10-12 days. I love mine and have it proudly displayed at Gizneyland. My spouse Dennis Wunderlin just bought one for his bar and loves that one too!
I don’t if this was only for previous customers like me, but I received an email saying it was 40% off with discount code WEEKEND40 for this Memorial Day weekend only. I guess you can try that if you’re buying something this weekend.

Make Your Office Chair A Magic Carpet With The Titan Chair Green Screen.
From Amazon: My thoughts mixed with online info. Use your gaming chair green screen to set any image as your background when using green-screen enabled software & apps! Perfect for streaming, vlogging, working from home & more. This round, pop-up green screen works with most gaming, office, and dining room style chairs. (Yes, it’s very easy to unfold and attached with Velcro, or more likely ‘hook & loop’ straps to a chair.) Folds up neatly for storage. (Lots of luck with this! Eventually, I got it folded, but it took many tries.) Features soft & elastic material, durable enough for extended use. Foldable green screen includes storage bag for travel & keeping it neat. (It helps keep it from springing open!) Size: 42.9in diameter when open. Material: 100% polyester. About $23 to $26 on Amazon, but $5 on close-out at FiveBelow. That sale will probably end fast since it’s such a great buy. But, if you buy it online at FiveBelow there is $7.95 shipping.
