Idea: Have someone make you a small "wall", say 2x2 ft, you can use to test things with sticky tape. It could be double-sided with different paint types, for example, and the drywall panels can be easily replaced when they get worn out.

the other thing about that light switch - if you use the adhesives, it's going to be a pain to change the batteries when needed. so a screw in the hole on the back might be best. Also good for inside closets

I actually have that first gadget LOL
My mom bought it for me as a gift a few years back due to us having frequent black outs in my area at the time!

It's worked perfectly as an emergency light and I have it mounted via some velcro and can move it to anywhere else I have velcro pads set up! A great prepper gadget imo

I have that light switch thing-a-ma-jobby. It's really bright and handy when the power goes out. Mine came with adhesive strips and also it has magnets so I put them on my metal cabinets. Very handy in my opinion.

My man legit has a huge bag of his dog's fur. LOLOL TY bro that gave me a good laugh!! I have always had a weird obsession w/ cheap gadgets. Sometimes you find gems that work extremely well.

I love the idea of going to Big Lots and picking up random things. This could be a cool series of videos

[Pienimusta]

Wouldn't mind seeing more of these! Different stores etc.

[becmort]

Bailey's determination to taste her fur was too funny. On another note, Fur daddy sounds like something I don't want to lookup on urban dictionary.

[ShellyS]

"I have a bag of Bailey hair..." things I never thought I'd hear anyone say

[senselessplace]

It was so nice to see things that did not come from amazon. Also, great to see the dogs too.

[Kayla_Kimbrell]

I agree with a lot of the comments about having a tester wall piece. Vivian Tries uses one on her channel and it's been very useful for a lot of different things. It would be cool to have multiple different paint and wallpaper types and stuff like that in panels so you'd know how products affect different materials.
Also, I loved the Big lots products testing!! Products in stores like this are products I would most likely purchase so it's nice to see someone testing more stores.

[HiIamChels]

Aww it was so great seeing Ms. Elle! She's looking beautiful as always. Please give extra snuggles to Elle and Bailey!! 💜💗💜

Have you ever considered making a frame with some drywall and paint on it to test adhesive products? Saves your walls while showcasing if the adhesive will damage a wall.

The led light switch is great for emergency power outages. I have one in every room especially in the restroom and lights up pretty decent 😊

[Telcomvic]

We've had the same type of light switch looking lights for about 5 years. We have them in the lower kitchen cupboards and I love them!They work great. Ours came with velcro tape. But, since you have to remove the light to change batteries, the tape only lasted a couple of uses. We went with hanging them on a screw to make it easier to change the batteries.

[ReSearcherSusie]

Thank you James. I appreciate how detail oriented your reviews are.

[susantaylor]

I picked up some of those LitezAll's over 10 years ago and never had to replace the batteries yet. They work great in dark closets etc. Love them for that!

[birbjesus]

Doubt you will see this James but I’ve been out of electricity since Wednesday from hurricane ian but with the couple bars I get I have been binging all of your videos and you been keeping me sane keep up the great work my man

[HayTatsuko]

I got a stick-on light almost identical to the one you got, but at Dollar Tree. It even has the same 3M mounting strips on it, but the packaging was not nearly as fancy. It cost slightly less -- $2.50; $1.25 for the light itself and another $1.25 for batteries. Mine's mounted at the end of our upstairs main hallway and provides decent enough lighting to walk safely along said hallway if all the other lights are out.

[ushldguess]

you can get the same light switches (but with adhesive hook and loop strips) for $1 when coupons come out at Harbor Freight. I have a few in my house for when power goes out. Also have one mounted in my closet for soft light to not have to turn on the large room light. Thanks for all the great reviews.
