they are finger lights....we use red ones out at our astronomy observatory at night and yes the elastic is pretty tight.
The on/off switch can be wonky -- usually there is one setting to blink and another to stay on. |

I think I will wear one on my finger when I give them out so the kids will know what they are. |
If these lights open, there may be a paper or plastic separator on the battery to keep the charge neutral. Check and see.

They are finger lights and work great!
Especially when you are working with black or navy fabric. The white band is a Velcro strap that goes around your finger of choice and under it is the on/off switch. I have only one and use it while sewing and while crocheting and love it. You are lucky to have so many! |

Never heard or saw such things before! I still cannot picture using them while using your hands...I have trouble getting used to wearing a thimble while doing handwork, much less flashlights on my fingers! How about toe lights -walking thru house at night to see what one is stepping on... have a cat that lays toys on the floor all night long right in the middle of my pathways! This would be helpful--- just kidding!

From what I read, you put them on the thumb of your non-sewing hand to direct the light at what you are sewing.
Also, that her husband scooped one quickly to wear like that when he was doing plumbing and needed light under the kitchen sink. I was gullible and bought one ... and never got the knack of it on my glasses, around my finger or any other way tha I could figure it may work. |

My initial thought was lights too, I don't see any way to turn the light on. I looks like the small end might plug into something, but what? There is a kind of elastic band around the plastic, but it's too tight to slip over my finger. I do think you're on the right track with lights though.
