These are an odd little thing. You stick them on the end of your car or truck door and when opened they start strobing as a warning to other traffic.
At first I wondered how they would fit in between the side of a door and the frame, but it turns out that on most cars there is a reasonable gap.
The devices use double sided pads to attach in place and use a magnet as a sensing device for when the door is closed. Each unit contains a single easily replaced CR2032 lithium cell and quiescent current is very low.

The units are available in a wide variety of colours. Here's a generic eBay search link for them. Target price is around $3.

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
