Katzco 7 Inch Plasma Ball Lamp - Touch and Sound Sensitive Electric Globe with Lightning Effects - Plug-in Energy Ball for Parties, Room Decor, and STEM Learning - Static Electricity Sphere for Kids

Plug in option is awesome - only way to go even tho has battery option. . Globe is good size, bright, options for audio reaction too. Searched a lot - So glad picked this one - perfect . Great for night light.

Absolutely spectacular gift for any boy or girl or even adult who is fascinated with science and electricity. The ball is amazing! My son saw this at a field trip he had and mentioned it to me. So I knew exactly what he was talking about and I gave it to him as a gift. Unfortunately, my 5 year old daughter was transferring it to another table. She didn't drop it, but her body swiped it and it fell off the table and shattered... Glass everywhere! If it had decent rubber no-slip pads /feet underneath, this would not have happened since she slightly brushed against it with her tiny body. The other thing I wasn't happy with was that the plasma ball would not 'dance' to music. Didn't matter how loud and how many beats, it didn't respond. In that mode, it only responded to someone facing at it with their mouth and yelling. Each yell would cause it to activate for a short burst. That is why I am giving it 4 stars. I accept responsibility and hold myself accountable. But such a lightweight fragile glass device with no sturdy rubber feet to prevent it from sliding? A shame.

It is large works amazing and is so much more colorful than any plasma sphere I’ve seen before. It’s perfect.

I had an eye of the storm back in the 80's and I got this just on a whim because I used to love listening to music and just watching it dance. This is not quite as good. The old ones had a slider that you could vary the intensity of the activity inside the plasma ball. From one strand to dozens. This one lacks that ability. It's just full intensity which looks very nice but lacks the dynamics of the old ones. Then, there's a mic sensitivity setting on the switch where it will vary the intensity in synch with music that's playing. This seems to be geared only to be triggered by mid bass frequencies and below and then only when listening at fairly high listening levels. So, for me anyway, that setting is relatively useless. Still it's a nice little accent piece and it's still nice to turn on and stare at meditatively.

Just like I expect it. Classic glow ball for decoration or science projects. Also with a very nice price.

The Katzco 7 Inch Plasma Ball Lamp is fantastic! This touch and sound-sensitive electric globe with lightning effects adds an exciting and mesmerizing touch to any room. It's perfect for parties, room decor, and STEM learning activities for kids. The plug-in energy ball creates stunning static electricity effects that captivate both children and adults.

Highly recommend this plasma ball lamp for anyone looking to add a unique and interactive element to their home or events!

It worked for about 10 minutes. Disappointing.

Lasted about 3 months before it started to go 'dull'. The lights don't shine bright anymore and you can't see the 'electric lights' going about. I did love it while it lasted. Still looks cool while dull but looks nothing like the picture advertised.
