Looking for something to liven up a party? Try something from their stage and studio collection: a few strobe lights, one or two lava lamps, a fog machine (great for Halloween parties) or possibly even a bubble machine which continuously spews out hundreds of bubbles. A "black light" bulb will bring out white colors and make everything glow.
Delving deeper into their "disco room," where it is dark and music is playing so the equipment can be tried out in the proper atmosphere, you'll also find fiber optic lights and other "wacky and funky stuff for kids and adults,"
And for the kids who always complain about how boring their rooms are, a simple red, blue or pink bulb can change the atmosphere instantly. Add a traffic light, a police beacon light and a few neon signs or sculptures, and they may never leave their rooms again.
