Spotlight LED flashlight is ready when you need it

JUNE 02, 2010

OK, so here's one of my favorite gadgets....the Spotlight LED flashlight. This little dynamo is about the size of a lipstick (only fatter) and for as small as it is, it packs a wallop in the lighting department. But here's the cool thing...it's designed to live in the AC socket in your car, so it's always charged and ready to use. It comes in a bunch of cool colors like racecar red, taxi yellow and gremlin green. I have the yellow one and love it.

Here are some specs on the Spotlight:

* high power 0.5 watt LED bulb (25+ lumens)
* colorful anodized aluminum body
* 180+ minutes of light per charge
* water resistant / submersible
* red glow ‘charging’ indicator
* rechargeable Ni - MH battery
* shines 50 meter / 150 feet

And as if the flashlight wasn't cool enough, they have a bunch of accessories for it. There's a headband, colored lens kits and a "fender friend" magnetic-based flexible stand that can be used to hold the Spotlight when working on a car or while working on arts and crafts or whatever. Cool stuff!
