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.
