Please be sure to read the profile. Purchased at Animate, opened once, and stored in a dark place in an OPP bag. I have confirmed that it lights up. Please refrain from purchasing if you are nervous, as it is stored by a private individual. The ring light and the outer bag (with the instruction manual inside) will be put together in an OPP bag, wrapped in cushioning material, and shipped in a way to prevent water damage. Immediate purchase is OK. Meteora Melt the Tenshi Ring Light
