Whenever you have a display of items that light up near your checkout, customers can’t help but pick one up and turn it on, and the sale practically makes itself. That’s one reason why the full product line from Flashing Panda is so successful. “We specialize in LED light-up consumer novelty items,” says Daniel Odulo, owner of the company that promotes its products as, ‘Stuff That Lights Up!’ “Our line consists of three sections, including lighting items, party favors, and light-up toys,” he says. The company’s website, at FlashingPanda.com, shows an extensive array of keychain flashlights, jogging lights, party favors, ‘Raver Blinks’ and more.

Flashing Panda has the wanted items that both retailers and corporations are looking for. “We sell to everyone worldwide, from single pieces to items that companies give away at trade shows,” Odulo says. “Many companies buy for an event, or just as a party favor. We also have people buying barware for their parties,” he explains. One water theme park bought 1,000 champagne flutes to use at their New Year’s Eve celebration last month.

Carrying several hundred different items, Odulo listed a few that are currently drawing attention. “Our light-up bubble guns are a big hit,” he says. “They wholesale for only $3 each, but can fetch between $6 and $9 retail.” Similarly, light-up ‘Raver Gloves’ wholesale for $7 and retail for $16, and light-up ‘Globies’ hair berets can sell for as much as $12 retail, but are only $3 wholesale.

There is no minimum order required, and items are sold in small or medium sized lots. Retailers just need to create an online account and start shopping. “Quite a few of our products come prepackaged in display boxes for quick sale,” Odulo says. “Our pendants and keychain flashlights are available on a display rack as well,” he adds. Flashing Panda does imprinting on custom orders, and turnaround time on special orders is less than a week.

LED Lighted Gloves

Publisher — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 05:01:45 +0000

Energy stingy LED lights are finding wider application everyday, and now you can add LEDs to gloves, which are great for hunters, hikers, campers, and backpackers who want to make every ounce of weight count. These LED gloves work well in all seasons, and serve the dual purpose of being both a glove and a flashlight. Two LED lights are mounted in the knuckle area on the outside of each glove. This mounting puts the light where the user needs it most: right on the task area. The pair of gloves weighs just 4.6 ounces, and looks like an ordinary pair of gloves until the user pinches the switch to shed light on the situation.

The gloves take two button batteries for each glove, and the new CR2032 Lithium Cell 3V batteries come with the gloves, and last at least 200 hours before replacement. The wholesale price is $10.90, and the minimum order is 24 pairs. The gloves come in L and XL, and come in camouflage. Other features include: microfiber insulated, wrist activated on/off pinch switch, index finger trigger opening, finger and thumb opening for fine work (tying fishing line), pull tight wrist band, textured fingertip and palm for enhanced grip.
