PowerTRC Plasma Ball, 8 inch Plasma Night Lamp, Batter Powered Respond to Touch & Sound Plasma Globe, Party/Science Props, Home Bedroom Decoration Christmas Novelty Gift for Kids

After having purchased another plasma globe that was a little disappointing, I’m really impressed with this one at this price point. The electrode is well centered, which means the plasma is very evenly distributed with many strands. The globe is a full eight inches in diameter, and the power is balanced well so multiple people can use it and each get a good amount of control over the plasma closest to them. The center electrode is as fun to watch with the plasma crawling over it as a campfire, I could stare at it for a long time. The glass, like all inexpensive plasma globes, is very very thin. It has to be to give a good effect and respond strongly to your touch. It is packaged very well with custom fit styrofoam, and the product box is shipped in another exactly fitting box, so it should last if it’s something you put away or store, and it should handle several shipments. I’d recommend a hard case for frequent travel or shipping. Note that the plasma is not bright enough to overcome sunlight or very bright office or classroom environments. It excels in dim and dark rooms, and is visible in moderate lighting, but you have to pay careful attention in brightly lit areas.

Ordered this 8" and another brand 7". I ordered two different ones because it was to be a last-minute gift and both had negative reviews about poor function out-of-the-box. Tested both and both worked well. This one was more impressive because 1" in diameter makes a big difference. Overall lighting effect was the same (not diminished with larger diameter). The photo is accurate with this one (the other brand was definitely photo-shopped). This was also $5 less than the other brand. I cannot remember which brand had reviews talking about a "warm-up" period being required - There is no warm-up period. Whoever wrote that must have had one with sketchy wiring. Construction of the two was identical, as expected from Chinese-made items. I find it laughable that some other reviewer thinks he should get a heavy-duty, US-quality, substantial item for $30 including shipping. As for those who complain that is doesn't work anymore after a month or two... Clearly you do not understood the business model in China - "cheap today, trash tomorrow". They do not want anything to last for long because your house will be full, and you will stop buying their stuff. As for me - I was looking for cool and unique birthday party gifts for 10-13yr old girls who have everything and need nothing so these are perfect, and I will definitely be getting more.

I bought this the replace one that I had won off of Clawee a game app that you can win prizes off of using a claw machine that was put on a shelf high up and I had had it for about 4 years and was always a great conversation piece because it always caught people's eye when they came into the room and unfortunately was accidentally broken aand so I bought this to replace it and although it's not exactly like the one I had but I'm satisfied with it and it's pretty inexpensive I would recommend this for anyone who wants an conventional piece, something to catch people's eye plus it reacts to the static electric discharge your hand puts out as well as reacts to lauf sounds it reacts to every time I turn up my sound bar so if you have guests over it makes a great and fun thing to interact with or just watch . It runs of of a USB power adapter and 3 AAA batteries.

Very light weight. Feels cheap but when you plug it in, the light show is GREAT!! All the kids go right to it when they come in the house.

It is a small version of the normal size one.. Works great for entertaining little ones!

My 8 year old nephew was so excited to get this plasma ball, but we ALL ended up loving it! The colors of the lightning are exquisite and the orb size is large (8" diameter orb as described). Some people were nit picking at the plastic base. Yeah, it's standard plastic, but what did you expect? This is just like the ones they used to sell at shops in the 90s. The orb is definitely glass and fragile. I was so worried it would arrive broken but it didn't! Item is safely packed in Styrofoam to hold it in place. I can't attest to the lifetime of the product since I just gave it to him for xmas. Will try to update this review in a few months. I recommend this product.

I purchased this item for my desk at work. Being a Dean of Students for a middle school in Colorado, it helps to take the students mind off of the disciplinary punishment that’s coming their way😂! But, it really does go well with the other desk gadgets I purchased thru Amazon! I love it, and I’m very satisfied with it!!

I’ve always loved plasma globes, ever since I bought my first one 25 years ago. This little guy has been a lot of fun. The ability to run it off of batteries or a simple USB cord is great. The unit itself is well-made. Even after dropping it on a thin carpet a couple of times, it has shown no harm. The weird behavior of the multi-colored tendrils is a delight to watch. Touching the globe with anything organic — such as a finger — is fascinating. Go ahead and buy the darn thing. It’s cheap, well-made, and lots of fun.

Cet article est parfaitement fonctionnel, c'est exactement ce que je voulais avoir et il est très décoratif. Je je recommande.
