If these are the ones where you push the button in thru the middle, they are pretty fragile. Bang them together and they pretty much stop working.
However , while they do work:
get some pingpong balls,cut a small hole in it - use a scalpel or exacto knifePut the LED inside the hole. The hole should be just big enough for the tip to be just in the hole, not pushed all the way thru the ball.tape [use clear tape] or silicon gum around the edges of the hole.Turn lights on, twirl away
The ping pong balls become these orbs of light, and leave much better POV trails. Looks good.
Unfortunately, still fragile
Oh well.
