one-handed lighting
Here's the perfect flashlight for those candlelight presentations you'll be giving to all the other heathens after the apocalypse. The lasers/LED combo flashlight requires no batteries whatsoever, and gets all of its power from your squeezing hand. Remember those fake ray guns you played with when you were a kid? Except for the sound effects, this is pretty much the same thing. The laser pointer light is on top, and then there are two LEDs underneath. Just don't point it at the cops—even though it costs just $10, a weapon's a weapon in the eyes of the law. [Brando]

If you regularly kick down doors and beat people over the head with hard things, you're either part of the LAPD or an action movie star. Either way, you should really be carrying this Pelican 7060 LED flashlight, the official flashlight of the Los Angeles Police Department. If you thought your Mag Light was both tough and bright, then you owe it to yourself (and your victims) to grab one of these. It even has a momentary pulse mode to disorient children. [Pelican]

Make Your Own Laser Flashlight
If you liked that backpack laser we showed you the other day, here's a much smaller laser that you can build yourself using an old DVD burner and a MiniMag flashlight. It's not going to be anything lethal, but it can actually cause a bit of damage, lighting a match or even popping a balloon with its ray gun-like beam. If you're slightly mechanically minded, you just might be able to put this one together. Be careful, though, you could put an eye out with this thing. In case you missed it, see the awesome video on the next page.More »

Fox Fury's 1000-lumen LED "MF" 1000 Flashlight: No Relation to BFG, Brightest Ever
Fox Fury claims that the MF 1000 — no relation to the BFG — LED flashlight is the brightest ever at 1000-lumens, throwing the equivalent of a 60-watt lightbulb into a beam pattern as tighter than a spotlight. That generous and brilliant output makes it appropriate for rescue spotting puppies adrift in storm-swollen rivers at up to 600-feet, or blinding friends with a bit of point-blank tomfoolery. The shock, fire, and water resistant aluminum case houses a 9-LED array and 15 lithium CR123 cells that last a mere hour in full power mode. (Or 3 hours in 3 LED mode.) Yours for $1000. I want.MF 1000 [Fox Fury]
cellphones
You know those hand-crank flashlights that seemed to be all the gift-giving rage this past holiday season? Surprisingly, these hand-cranks can be modded to charge a cellphone and it seems to be really easy to do so. Open up the flashlight casing, cut the cord on an old cellphone charger and solder the wires into the flashlight. It is an easy, good and environmental friendly way to get some extra juice out of the phone in emergency situations. Be noted that the erratic charging may not be the best for the cellphone, though.

Swiss Army Night Vision Watch
The Swiss Army Night Vision Watch is akin to its faithful multitasking cousin, the Swiss Army Knife, except this wrist companion specializes in a variety of ways to cut through the inky black of night using LEDs. Activate a powerful strobe so others can see you from distance, or push a button and its dial is awash in cool blue light. Push that button again and a white LED lights the way. If you want to save some energy, you can activate a red LED that gives you a little blink every 10 seconds, just enough to let you fumble through some dark cave or something. You gotta love all the little LED tricks they put into this watch; enjoy them all for $295. More »

Bulb-To-LED Conversion For MAG
You may (or may not) remember when we reported that MAG was going to release LED-based flashlights. Well if you or Johnny Law just can't wait and demand the battery life and power of LEDs, this is for you. TerraLUX (hmm, perhaps they made the Luxor's huge beam? That's where the Gizmodo-ites are staying for CES, BTW. Stop by and ask for VV cause he'll be taking clients all week!) has released a replacement LED conversion for Maglites that use AA or AAA batteries. The brightness and ability to focus the beam will stay the same and no mods are needed, so put that soldering iron down. A replacement bulb that uses an LED is $20, but you know you want to be the first kid on the block with the LED Maglite. More »
