Product Description

Fascinating and fun. USB Plasma Ball is fascinating to watch and even more fun to play with --Placing a finger tip on the glass creates an attractive spot for the energy to flow, because the conductive human body is more easily polarized than the dielectric material around the electrode providing an alternative discharge path having less resistance. The Plasma Ball is great for kids of all ages. Whether you are a fun loving work professional or a parent who wants their kids to learn about static electricity without the need to google Tesla's high voltage plasma globe. This is a great year round gift idea. Measures 6 inches tall. Globe measures approx. 3 inches diameter. Base measures approx. 4 inches diameter.

So cute, once you get over the size!
Okay, I'll be the first to admit, I never checked the size on this plasma ball before I bought it. My daughter has wanted one for YEARS, since seeing them at Spencer gifts, so when I saw this one with great reviews at a great price.When the box came in the mail and I saw what it was, my jaw dropped. I didn't know whether to be shocked or amused at what a dummy I was! In the end, though, I decided to give it to her, because she'd just moved into a VERY tiny apartment where a bigger one might not fit.As you can see, she's glad I did!
Thank you for your feedback

Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2015
This review is for the USB Powered Plasma Ball by "generic", "style 1". No "DC 5V 500mA Adapter" included.

Judging by pictures, it looks exactly the same to me as other listings on Amazon with similar prices (about $10 or less). One listing in particular looks exactly the same but the design on the box is different according to a picture. Most likely the same factory is making them but I certainly don't know for sure.

As a kid I always wanted a big plasma globe. This scratches the itch. It isn't big but it's a nice little size

The light in some of the customer pictures looks faint, but in a slightly dim room it looks pretty darn good. I estimate there are about 16 thin moving blue tendrils with pink ends (where they touch the globe) at all times. When touching the globe, there are up to three thick tendrils that will follow your fingers. The more fingers that are used, the more the blue tendrils tend to "flash" around and they become thinner. It's also neat to look at the source of the tendrils at the center when not touching the globe. The tendrils extend from the pink colored source and move around it like little tornadoes.

Mine works as expected. Like my other PC lighting, I don't use it all the time. It's probably been active for around 6-8 hours. I keep the USB plugged in and use the ON/OFF switch located on the plastic base. My PC case is black so this looks nice, with it's black base, sitting on top.
The USB is removable from the main unit and, since the box mentions a DC power adapter, I suppose the right type could be used. I have not tried to do so. (As advertised, this did not come with one included).

For under $10 it is easily a nice little buy. Ideally, I'd like a comparable product with a more durable base than plastic but for that I would expect to pay more. For what I paid and received, I rate this at 5 stars.

*edit 3*
Took delivery of the replacement, and this one does not shock. It is however slightly different in how it's made.
The interior of the inner tubing that emits the plasma tendrils seems to be dipped considerably more than any of the others, and as a result the plasma reaches down into the base as well as up and around the interior of the globe.

Isn't a problem as such, but does show the strange randomness of these units.. Up to and including the one that shocked us.
Replaced the missing star, but it does seem to be a little luck of the draw like as to what you get.

*edit*
Third one shocked whoever touches the power input.
Other 2 don't.

It's pretty cheap, but the function is very impressive. Unlike some, the bulb on the interior is on a raised pillar and right in the center, meaning it emits evenly and attracts evenly.

Very recommended.

*edit* now the third I've purchased. Not from breakage either.. One as a gift, one for my middle kid, and now one for my youngest because it's such coveted awesomeness :D

I think this means it's a recommendation. Still very very low priced and such good value. Still working all these years later. I think that means it gets bumped another star.

*edit 2* slightly disappointing. The third one has the inside emitter glued in wonky and so it sends out the plasma more on the side where it's closer. Will return and replace and see..
Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2014
I'll admit I did not have high hopes for this product based on the other reviews, as well as the cost. However, I thought it would be interesting for some of the children I work with and in that regard it was a success.

The base on my model was blue, which isn't a big deal but I assumed I would get a black one as the picture shows. I'm not sure the "Sound" feature works very well at all, but I haven't tried it near any exceptionally loud sources of noise to be completely certain.

It functions properly on both battery and USB power, but produces very few, extremely weak "arcs" that are difficult to see in a room with average lighting (and impossible to see outside). Touching the orb in a single spot will produce a single, brighter arc, but it certainly looks nothing like the stock photo.

For a cheap toy, it's not bad. Just don't expect a bright performance.

Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2012
This is a great product and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something to entertain them. I've read a lot of the complaints before purchasing, and I would like to confirm/refute some of them.
I've read that it makes a strange "buzzing" noise: Yeah, all plasma balls do, but don't worry. It's really not that loud at all.
Another says that it doesn't have any big plasma "rays": Well, what did you expect? It's ran by your computer (note: it actually does have some pretty decent sized "rays").
The last one I'd like to bring up is that people say that the globe is tiny (smaller than the base). The globe has a diameter of a bit more than two inches. The base bottom is just under two and a half inches. In conclusion: Yes, the globe has a smaller diameter of the base, but not by much. And for something that runs off of your USB port, and is this cheap, it's an amazing deal.
All in all, I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for anything cheap, but highly entertaining.

Thanks for your time,

I bought this for my daughter. It came today July 20th, place 4 triple AAA batteries. Worked for a minute only to crap out. I tried USB cord, also nothing. Very disappointing to see her light up only to never actually get to touch it or see it up close. I am returning it, and doubt I will get another. It came in the mail barely protected and I am sure that is why it doesn't work. Either a solider broke off wire or very poorly made.
All the reviews talked it up. Clearly they got something different from me, or I received a return because box was open with only top cardboard protecting unit!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little plasma lamp
Reviewed in Canada on November 26, 2018
For the price its actually a fun lamp for younger kids. I'll probably end up giving this to my coworkers 4 year old son.

The bulb is glass, but it's really thin so you need to exercise caution when playing with it.

To be honest, I kind of expected there to be more plasma tendrils coming out of the center receptacle, but I guess that's to be expected of a unit that can run off 3 AAA batteries.

The unit is not too bright and I would feel comfortable running this as a night light. It even has a built in power switch! A very thoughtful addition.

Overall, I am extremely happy with this light and would gladly recommend this toy as a gift for young children.
