Is there a difference between the Cobra Light from 2 years ago and this new 'plus' version?

I bought one of these on ebay.

I'm wondering if the manufacturer dumped a bunch of bad units that ended up on ebay?? Anyone else having problems?

Can someone tell me a dealer in the US that I can purchase the Cobra light from? All I can locate a bootleg versions on eBay.

I hope you got an original. There are quite a few copies on ebay

Hi Rhett: 

The following is the presentational hook I am using with the Cobra Light. It plays off of the fact that this is clearly an electronic device of some sort. To me it looks like an experimental prototype which led to the presentation below…

 “Consumer electronics continue to develop at a dizzying pace. Recent advancements with 3D TV’s, Smart TV’s, Smart phones, Tablets, etc are amazing. However the next big thing will be the advancement of A.I., Artificial intelligence. This is simply devices that can… think for themselves! Companies all over the world are scrambling to develop and implement A.I. technology. To facilitate this, work is being done on “Smart Circuits”. These are circuits that can “learn” and adapt to changes in their environment. I have a prototype here that illustrates Smart Circuits in a cool way. 

Three switches, three lights. Turn on the green switch the green light turns on, same with the yellow and red. Works just as it should. Now let’s make some changes in the environment and mix up the switch covers. (Have spectator direct where they would like the covers to be placed). Because these are Smart circuits they should adapt to the change… sure enough the Green still lights the green bulb, the red the red and the yellow the yellow. Actually the lights are simply lens covers (remove the lenses). Here place the lens covers back on in any order you like, once again changing the environment. Check it out, the circuits once again adapt and the red switch lights the red light, the green the green, and the yellow the yellow (all switches are turned on and off and you can have the spectator confirm as well). 

To truly get to Artificial Intelligence the circuits need to “learn” from the changes and be able to anticipate what will happen next. Now you have just made some decisions regarding changing the switch covers and mixing up the lens covers. Let’s see if the circuits have learned anything. (Place unit face down on the table). I want you to just imagine turning one of the lights on, either the red, green or yellow. You want yellow? Let’s see if the Smart Circuits were able to anticipate and learn (turn unit over and reveal the yellow light on… they can pick any color). We are getting very close to artificial intelligence!” 

That is the bare bones, but gives you the idea of how I am using this. It is mostly hockum but sounds plausible and is delivered tongue in cheek.  I agree the last phase makes a nice conclusion for the effect.
