    We're doing Letter of week out of order on this show because I feel like I've been issued a 'gadget challenge!

    First, here's Adam Jakowenko's email:

    Hey Dick and Chad,.

     

    Just wanted to thank you for the great gadget that you showed on a recent episode, the LED lights that are rechargeable and react to sound. I immediately bought them and put them in my office behind me...they're the perfect size for a small shelf, and since they are sound reactive, the lights jump whenever people are talking on my work zoom calls. The battery actually lasts all day, since they're only reacting to sound when I'm in a meeting. So I just plug them in at the end of the work day and they're ready to go the next day. I've gotten many comments as people love them. It's a great addition to my real life Zoom background 😁.

     

    Since there are so many similar versions on amazon, I've included a link to the ones I purchased. They are USB-C rechargeable and also use the same front lights to indicate charging status and how full or empty the battery is, which is better than what Dick got. And mine were only 2 for $10! (type face is called sarcasm)

     

    I've also included a clip to show you what everyone else sees on the calls... I played some copyright free music so you can see how they look and also be able to still play it on air if you choose. Love the show!

    Okay, even though Adam's email said: “better than what Dick got. And mine were only 2 for $10! (type face is called sarcasm)” I took that as a (friendly) challenge! I immediately bought an identical pair for myself. What did I think of them? Watch the show, or watch this video:

    By the way, the photo on the Amazon page shows a smartphone app. There is no way to hook these LED's to an app. They do however come w/ 2 USB-C charging cables.
