About Constellation Ufungashaji wa Njiti

Constellation ni muundo wa ufungashaji wa toleo maalum kwa ajili ya njiti za kukusanywa. Ufungashaji huu unawaka kupitia vitone vidogo kwenye uso wake, na taa hizo zinaweza kuwashwa moja baada ya nyingine kuunda alama tofauti za nyota za zodiaki. Mwishoni mwa athari hiyo, taa hufifia na kuwaka taratibu. Athari ya mwanga inaweza kuchajiwa upya kwa kebo ya USB na hudumu kwa saa kumi na mbili ikiwa imechajiwa kikamilifu. Njiti hushikilia ufungashaji wa ndani kwa sumaku, hivyo sanduku linaweza pia kutumika kama sehemu ya maonyesho. Kipau cha pembetatu kilichofichwa hukunjuka nyuma ili kufanya ufungashaji usimame wima. Karatasi ndiyo nyenzo kuu iliyotumika.
