If that's on the NiteLite Pro it must be muck as it's small stainless steel magnetic balls as far as I know

Like the look of the ES ones or the the older white type slimlites. Hopefully getting my delks this week so no doubt ill be buying one of those sets before this virus malarkey is over and i can get out on the bank. And then i will hopefully have found my forever alarms

If it has a magnetic stainless steel ball it probably contains iron to make it magnetic and can therefore rust.

Yep, pure stainless isn't magnetic, low end stainless steel has some magnetivity but not that much. So more than likely just steel ball bearings, possibly coated when built.
Don't take this for gospel lol

All steel is magnetic to varying degrees, even top quality stainless. All steels contain iron. It's nickel/chromium that prevents stainless steel from rusting - it is made up of at least 50% iron.

That variation is huge though, the magnet I use for stud finding takes two hands to get off an rsj but barely pulls at all on decent stainless, it wouldn't even support its own weight

This is true. It all depends of the type of stainless. Austenitic is less magnetic. Martensitic more so.

Very poor for those prices

I thought mine had started to rust last week so I decided to give them a clean with a small bristle brush and its cleaned them right up. I got my magnifying glass out and the magnets have tiny indentations in them and the dirt must have got in to them. I got mine soon after they were release and no rust yet.
