Most are made from lightweight plastics such as LDPE (low-density polyethylene), generic plastic, or PVC (polyvinyl chloride).
Battery handling varies: some models require no battery, while others list types such as 3 AAA (zinc carbon), 3 LR44 alkaline, 3 LR41 alkaline, or other small button-cell batteries.
Common features include constant or flashing lights, multiple flashing sequences (some listings note up to six different modes), and an on/off button on the battery pack.
Suggested ages vary by listing: many target young children (commonly labeled 3 years and up or 5 years and up), while other listings are sized or marketed for older kids or adults.
At least one glow-style listing specifies it “glows for up to 5 hours.” Most other listings do not specify a duration.
Products include holiday and Halloween motifs (jack-o'-lanterns, candy-corn), character-style pendants, and novelty pieces. Some listings also mention musical accompaniment or small reveal details (for example a sea-star inside a piece).
