Back in the USSR, they made sure every bicycle (that’s “velosiped” to you, comrade) had a proper light set. Forty years later, we’ve got those classic bicycle light sets in “new” old surplus. New, as in never used. Don’t expect LEDs, folks. This is the real McCoy, straight from the USSR. Headlight is 3-1/4" diameter with a clear front lens and a single metal mounting bracket but no hardware. Rear light is a red reflector style, 3-1/4" x 2-1/2" x 2, with bulb inside and no hardware. But the herring and borscht of this set is the classically styled bike generator with an included spring-loaded bracket.

5' long, 1" diameter LED cooler lights in cases of 25. At 5000k and 1500 lumens these lights are all the rage. Originally intended as replacements for coolers, (think grocery stores) we think they are perfect for sheds, showcases, garages and even light saber battles. They operate on 36 volts, 22 watts and that means they need an LED driver. You're in luck, we are including the drivers! Each driver measures 1" x 12" long. Housing is plastic with a clear front and plastic ends with holes for mounting. Now go illuminate something. A lot of things!

There is an entire class of transformers that surplus dealers call "AC Adapters." What we really mean is transformers or wall warts that plug directly into the wall (primary voltage 110 VAC), and via a cord and/or plug provide various levels of output current at various voltages. It is a rare buyer of surplus that gets the plug configuration he/she wants, and many get snipped off (plugs that is). They are handy power supplies, battery charging units, substitutes for batteries in toys and games, or for providing safe illumination to models and displays. Be sure to note whether the output is AC or DC (Direct Current, like a battery) and whether it can provide enough current for your application. Unless otherwise noted, all are suitable for indoor use only. Stick with us and you'll get the hang of adapting to AC...and at much lower prices than your friendly appliance/game/computer/calculator shop asks. Unless otherwise noted, all adapters are for 115 volt AC primaries, and all have about 6 ft. cords. (MA=Milliamp) (A=Ampere) (VDC= Volts DC) (VAC= Volts AC).

These light-up pens are one of the coolest things we’ve come across in a long time, but then again, look who’s saying that—a copywriter. But really, they’re hard not to love.

Pen measures 5” tip to tip, is all metallic, and feels nice in the hand. Body is silver and cap, with a silver pocket clip, is either silver, black, white or red. Back end of the pen has a stylus, too. “It was a dark and stormy night…but really it wasn’t that dark because of this pen….”

We do. Ours are from Four Brothers and you can buy (1) at a time, but of course they work better in pairs. If you want to help the manufacturer live up to its name, order (8). They’re Magnetic Hematite Balls, and they’re for relieving stress and anxiety, and helping kids with concentration, among other things. Each ball measures about 1” dia, and has a North and South pole on opposite sides of the sphere. That’s for teaching kids about magnetization. Toss (2) balls up and watch them rattle together mid-air, like mating eagles. Roll them around in your hand and let your cares slip away. Some medical folks claim hematite heals, balances energy and helps regulate blood flow. All we know is, our balls are smooth, durable, fun and educational. How could you not want at least a pair?

We predict that 20 years hence, a wave of Hollywood gaffers will cite their pre-teen obsession with Onforu LED strip lights as an inspiration.
