Insta bulb

[Meatwad]

This has to be one of the most obvious fake commercials made. When they turn these cheap things on, you can clearly see lights offcamera lighting the area up. Cmon!

My phone flashlight is brighter then those bulbs

You are right...he turns it on and moves the bulb around but the light is stationary.

A common problem with battery powered lights, 3 or 4 AA batteries don't pack much power. The bulb stays cool to the touch so it's probably and LED light. LEDs that are specialized for lighting applications like this are quite pricy. To save money they probably went with lower power LEDs. I would say that in a pitch dark room something like this would be handy but other than that it's a bit more limited.

You should read some of the Amazon customer reviews:
"It should be illegal to call this light."

Yes, c'mon! Anyone who's alive these days should have that amount of media reading skills. After all, movies have been around since 1895 or so. People who got scared of being hit by the train in the Lumière film have long been gone. C'mon, haven't you ever noticed how brightly a candle can light up a whole room on TV? Indy lights up his trusty Zippo in a pitch dark tomb to reveal a whole wall of ancient writing clearly readable not only to himself but the whole audience. McGyver locked in a dark office room can search for the equipment and build a replacement battery out of leftovers of Coke, a copper paper clip, used chewing gum and a stapler, all this in the light of his last single match. The Famous Five can send a morse code help message from the isolated island by hitting two chunks of quartz together. C'mon!

For that to work for me I'd have to move to the US, or at least Canada. I can imagine the USCIS asking for the reason to get the green card: "I want a MagicJack account to reduce my phone bills."

You'd still get ripped off.

Yeah, well... I've come to the conclusion that that kind of marketing and its likes are for people whose intelligence or gullibility (or both) are at the level of a five year old or less. The way I learned this was by personal experience: Knowing my love for cooking my daughters, 3 and 5 at that time, came to me with shining eyes, asking me if I knew that the Japanese knife set would be my best friend in the kitchen. The TV-shop had told them so with real people instead of cartoon characters, so it had to be true. They could tell kiddy cartoons from reality...

"Testimonials are by paid actors."

"Testimonials are by paid actors."

A paid actor must be trustworthy. In opposite case why would they bother paying him/her? Untrustworthy people, be they actors or any other professionals, aren't paid. They're fired.
