Okay just got my order from Chip.
I also ordered the first round when he did this years ago. I still had a few left over and here is a quick overview.
I have a total of three. 2 are old - exp 2020 and one is new - exp 2028
One of the old ones was kept in my car - so exposed to all kinds of heat/cold for at least 18 months. The other one has been in my garage in a container in a cabinet. The new one I just picked up today.
Very similar. All come with string but the new one is attached and wrapped around.
I will plan on posting how they look after a few hours. All three were snapped in 3 places and shaken at least 10 times before picture.
These pictures are from right after I snapped all of them and got them quickly arranged.
I’d say overall all look very good and bright.

The right one is a bit dimmer.

And for those interested in packaging.
New is about 1” longer (back). Old one is front.

Before someone says I’m blind and I can’t measure.
Better picture of size.

About an hour in… the far right (stored in car) has definitely degraded. Not bad but one can see it after an hour.

Cool test. The right one still looks pretty darned good for being three years expired, and stored in the car! But I have a feeling that we have many more updates to go.

Well, yes you do know a bit about me…
I’m actually quite impressed. Even stored in my car and being tossed around the far right one, even though, clearly dimming has performed surprisingly well.
Okay going on 4 hours.

Just for fun. Then this is after 8 hrs and I went ahead and shook them up about 10 times each to see if it would activate any more chemical reaction. This is 10 minutes after I shook them.
Seems it does make them brighter. Not by a huge amount but definitely noticeable.

8 hours in a plain as day visible, can't complain about that at all.
