Solar Merlin Helix
The Solar Helix was designed to take up even less space than the SolarPuff™. The Helix uses TPU to diffuse the light, providing a more uniform glow. The Helix employs a twisting technology that enables the product to twist open and twist closed. The twisting is important to keeping the shape of the cube. It is lightweight and folds down to 4.25" X 1/2". The Merlin Helix will emit a red, blue, white, green, yellow or purple light. You can stop at each color or go to cycle setting and continually cycle through all colors. The Merlin Helix is perfect for adding color to any occasion.
Solight-design.com is the company that produces these versatile lights.
