Enter Brando's budget version.
It's almost certainly crappier than the full-priced models, as is Brando's wont, but hey, at $58 I'm perfectly willing to accept a few deficiencies. It can light up in either the full circle or a semicircle on either side, and is powered by 2 AA batteries. Pretty solid deal for something that usually seems unnecessarily pricey.
