The MiniBeam is an LED flashlight that has a lightweight and pocket-sized compact design yet can be seen a mile away. The company says it will run for 36 hours on a set of batteries, and fishermen will like the fact that it's buoyant enough to float. It's available in silver, metallic blue, purple, wood grain or camouflage as you see pictured here.

Its manufacturer, American Ingenuity, also plans to offer a variety of accessories for the MiniBeam, including a special mini tripod, a hands-free arm light holder, as well as a reading light bracket. You can also get the MiniBeam with a red LED for night reading or a green LED to enhance peripheral nightvision. It will be available soon for $8, with the green or red LED units priced at $10. Small, cheap, and bright? Sounds good to me. – Charlie White
