Quite an odd thing.  It's a rechargeable ring light that clips onto your phone for all-round camera illumination, but also has the option of spraying a mist of water out the front.

I think this might be one of those products where they just decided to throw in extra features.

Rechargeable moisturising selfie light - with schematic

The perfect accessory for those instances where you want to take a selfie, but lack proper facial moistness. Aside from the traces of green corrosion on the PCB (probably caused by flux), there has been no sign so far of this unit leaking all over the phone it's attached to. That may vary by unit though. The LED ring has a fairly dense array of LEDs, but sadly they are not well matched for parallel use and some show significant current hogging. The capacity of the cell tested at an ungenerous 200mAh on the first discharge/charge cycle, despite having the size of a larger capacity cell. If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:- http://www.bigclive.com/coffee.htm This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's algorithm quirks, allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty. #ElectronicsCreators

"Strangely Pointless." I love that expression - I need to use that at work. I see a LOT of strangely pointless stuff there...

I just can't for the life of me figure out what the use case is for this thing. Also, ring lights are supposed to have the camera in the center.
