When we first saw this coloured Light and Calendar with Penholder from Brando , welaughed at its tacky disco lighting . But then Brando sent us one for review , and we clear that a penholder , however tawdry , was a useful object to have around , especially when it had an precise clock and calendar on the front .

When we unboxed the affair , we were agreeably surprised . It actually looks cool . It ferment by shining red , green , and blue LEDs upwards , backlighting a crystalline LED screen which expose the clock ’s numerals and twenty-four hours of the week . A button push gift you separate exhibit of the date , which we wish were included on the primary show . But that ’s a nitpick . The rest was all good . Take a peep at the gallery below , and then jump for the followup , showing you what else this baby can do .
We installed four AAA battery , which were not included , and also plug the whole into a USB port . The unit suck up tycoon from a USB porthole for its LED brightness level , and uses the barrage fire for its clock routine . If you do n’t have it plugged into a USB port or its optional AC adapter , it can use battery power to illuminate its LED as well . However , without batteries set up , the clock does n’t ferment .
Setting the clock and calendar is a intimidating task ; fortunately the awkwardly - write education are still able to explicate how this is done . After navigating that context labyrinth , it was a simple task to push the big round button in front label “ Light , ” and those disco music LED lights go to work . Night fever , babe . Of course , you’re able to keep the lights off completely , but what fun is that ?
There are four options for the LEDs : one with just single colored LEDs dissolving between each other , another with combination of the red , dingy and green LEDs smoothen together , another brighter mode with more of the light-emitting diode light up at the same time , and then there ’s that obnoxious flashing light effect , certainly not commend for epileptic .
Our only complaint is that there should be a mode where you’re able to have just one solid colour lit all the time , not cycle to other colors unless you bear on a button . In all modality except the off position , we found its color cycling distracting as it held sway over our interfering desktop , but got used to it after a while . We did take in a number of compliments as it sat there being colorful and all , and no one in reality tell us they thought it sucked .
This is a surprisingly fun little desktop USB toy for $ 15 . It does have a grade of viscidity , but does n’t look as cheap as we thought it would . It ’s well worth the money , and in reality helps reduce screen background welter by giving you a piazza to put all those pens and pencils you probably have lie around . Despite its slight shortcomings and kitsch factor , we dig Brando ’s Colorful Light and Calendar with Penholder . We wish it a quite a little .
