The Moon in My Room is one small step for technology and one giant leap for fun lighting. The Moon is an accurate curved relief of the real thing and is designed to be mounted on a bedroom wall. Using a mini remote control you can control the phases of the moon and phase through twelve stages from ‘Waning Crescent’ through ‘Waxing Gibbous’ to New Moon. It’s powered by just four AA batteries (with 2 AAA’s in the remote) and comes with a CD giving you an audio tour of the Moon round all its craters and seas. There’s nothing like bringing the magic of the Moon into your room.
Price : £ 21.27

This beautifully crafted gizmo looks like the kind of thing you might find in Diagon Alley. The difference is you use it to control your telly, Sky, digibox, stereo or any other infra-red device via various abracadabra-ish gestures. Simply swish, whirl and flick to change channels, adjust volume and much more.
Totally button-free, the Wand can ‘learn’ up to 13 infrared codes from your existing remote(s) and transmit them when you perform one of 13 predefined gestures. You can assign various functions to various moves: flicks to turn on and off; spins to control volume; big swishes to mute and so on.
To add to its supernatural nature, the Wand also features a ‘heartbeat’ in the form of various pulses that confirm gesture recognition and tell you when the batteries are low. It even goes into sleep mode after 60 seconds of inactivity and ‘wakes’ when you pick it up. Gorgeously packaged in a smart presentation box, the Wand is set to become the remote control of choice for any gadgeteer with Potter-esque aspirations. So don’t be a Muggle, get ordering. It’s totally wizard!
Battery Requirements:
* Requires 2x AAA batteries (not included)
Dimensions:
* Wand measures 35.5cm(L) x 2cm(D)
Features/functionality:
* 1 – Rotate anticlockwise (typically used for “volume down” function)
* 2 – Rotate clockwise (typically used for “volume up” function)
* 3 – Flick upwards
* 4 – Flick downwards
* 5 – Flick left
* 6 – Flick right
* 7 – Tap on top
* 8 – Tap on side
* 9 – Big swish
* 10 – Push forward
* 11 – Pull back
* 12 – Double tap top
* 13 – Double tap side
Modes:
* Practice mode – allows the user to practise making the gestures and verify that they have been recognised correctly before learning associated IR data.
* Sleep mode – the wand will enter a low-power sleep mode after 60 seconds of inactivity.
* Learning mode – you can teach it one or more new codes for any of the possible gestures.
- Simply swish, whirl and flick to change channels, adjust volume and much more. Incredible!

Some quirks, 19 Feb 2010
This review is from: Duracell CEF22 NiMH Battery Multi Charger (Misc.)
I bought this as a replacement for a “one hour fast-charger” that I think hasn’t been properly charging my batteries.
It works, but it seems to have some oddities, unless my unit is slightly faulty. I checked all my recharagable batteries (mainly AAs) to see if they all worked OK. I went through them all discharging and charging and then discharging (in a torch or two). I found that when I took the batteries out of a torch that had been left on all night the charger would sometimes reject them (flashing red light), apparently it didn’t like any cells that had very low residual voltages (less than a 100mV or so). Usually, by leaving the battery in for a while and trying again the prioblem was overcome, but a bit of a pain. But when it charges it seems to work. Some batteries I thought might be duff seemed actually to be fine, but because of the lower voltage produced by these cells (1.25 approx) one of my digital cameras reported them as flat (which for it they were) but they still worked fine in other devices.
Also, a part charged, warm, battery can be rejected if removed and reinserted, seems to need to cool down.
And I was surprised how long a just-charged (unused) battery would appear to need charging if it were reinserted in the charger.
But it is nice to have a charger that you can put in odd combinations of numbers and cell sizes.

The charger that could…, 7 Dec 2009
This review is from: Duracell CEF22 NiMH Battery Multi Charger (Misc.)
Duracell charger:
Pros:
- Good size and weight to it. It does not feel cheaply made even though it is plastic. Hinged lid with an oval gap in it to avoid overheating. Seperate plug which makes it easy to place charger. Main batteries are held in place by sprung loaded compartments
- Individual lights for each battery. Each battery is assigned an led charging light so makes charging indvidual batteries a plus
- Charges individual batteries
- Charger avoids overcharging cells
- 110 – 240v ac can be used overseas
Possible Cons:
There are no major flaws that i am aware of as it does everything i need it to (only used AA and AAA in the charger)…
- Obviously not a quick charger, will take about 4 to 6 hours for most batteries. So if you do not need batteries fast it is not a con. Just stock up on some rechargables and keep them ready in the charger, duracell supremes are cheap on marketplace, so stock up.

Comes with a 2 pin plug !, 25 Mar 2010
This review is from: Duracell CEF22 NiMH Battery Multi Charger (Misc.)
Am a bit annoyed that the product description mentions nothing of the fact that it comes with a 2 pin euro plug despite being despatched from the UK.
