Ikea’s Immortalized Its Iconic Allen Wrenches as Decorative LED Lighting and Flashlights

Although best known for its meatballs and maze-like warehouse stores, there’s one Ikea product that its customers never intentionally buy but almost always leave the store with: an Allen key, the unsung hero of flatpack furniture that Ikea is now immortalizing as a pair of LED lights. Last month the Swedish furniture and housewares giant…

Surefire 2211X WristLight Review: A Real Headlamp Alternative?

Last year, Surefire released an innovative new line of “WristLights.” But, at $800, they were way too expensive for most people. This new 2211X costs just $170 and is just as bright. How’s it work? What Is It? The original WristLights were targeted strongly at law enforcement, military and other handgun users. Not only is…

FourSevens MMU-X3R Review: 2,000 Lumens Of Handheld Flashlight Power

A Tiny Aluminum Canister That Could Come In Very Handy This Winter

There are plenty of gadgets you could wish for as you’re sitting in the dark on a slow ski lift, with a dead phone, in freezing temperatures. Unless you are one of those people who carries more than just a phone and a wallet in your ski coat—which, congratulations—you will probably have none of them.…

A Gesture-Controlled Headlamp Means No More Fumbling For Buttons

Headlamps aren’t just for overnight wilderness treks, a hands-free light source can be useful for everything from detailed hobby work to fixing a car. And Olight’s H15S is particularly useful for that last application, allowing you to activate its bright LED lamp with a simple wave gesture when your hands are covered in grease. An…

A Telescoping Flashlight Lamp Is the Perfect Camping Companion

There’s a lot to like about designer Antonio Serrano’s Lil Torch flashlight concept that extends and retracts like an old pirate spyglass providing a focused beam when needed, or a wide flood of illumination when collapsed. Powered by a rechargeable battery that keeps a set of LEDs glowing in its diffused dome, the flashlight is…

Fix Absolutely Anything, Anywhere With A Keychain Toolkit

For less than $50, I’ve built a keychain toolkit that’s fixed cars, motorcycles and once kept me out of jail. It’s even legal on airplanes. Here’s how you can build yours. All this might be legal on airplanes, but it will raise the TSA’s eyebrows. As I pass through security, I put it in the…

Popular Android Flashlight App Straight-Up Lied About Selling Data

Were you one of the 100 million Android users that downloaded the Brightest Flashlight Free app? Did you conscientiously click “no” when asked if you’d like to allow the app to track your location data? Well, too bad, suckers.

HLP Flashlight: A Highly Functional Utility App That’s Beautiful, to Boot

There’s certainly no dearth of apps floating around with the sole purpose of turning your phone’s LED bulb into a makeshift flashlight. So if you’re someone to whom design is an afterthought (at best), you’ll probably be perfectly content keeping what you already have. For the rest of you, though, HLP Flashlight for iOS is…

Daily Desired: Battle the Darkness with this Badass Pocket-Sized Torch

What the lights go out, don’t be screwed. You think that little drugstore flashlight is good enough? Give it an hour until it flickers dead and leaves you blind. The Solarforce M6, though—that’s your pint-sized lifeline. God created light on the first day because without light, it’s impossible to do anything. When the lights go…

Lazily Measure the Girth of Anything Using This Smart String Tape Measure

Yeh, metal-tape measures stopped being cool right around the time ThinkGeek started selling the Smart String, which has 50-inches of retractable string that can bend around curved things. BUT WAIT! It also tells you the measurements on the LCD screen. That’s to three decimal places, motherlucker. It also has a small amount of onboard memory…

A Flashlight-MP3 Player Hybrid for Music Loving Idiots in the Dark

I hate it when I’m investigating a spooky mystery, or walking around the woods at night, and don’t have any sweet tunes to go along with me. Actually, I don’t, because that scenario never exists, and this product is moronic. The ACOUZTIC (strike one) is a 2 GB MP3 player crammed into a flashlight (strikes…

The Most Efficient Pocket LED Flashlight

Sinclair’s Eon Extreme claims to have the highest power-to-weight ratio of any flashlight in the world. Based on its tiny size and shining it in my face, I can say that this is most probably true. The credit card-sized flashlight is rechargeable via microUSB, and fits nicely in a breast pocket. It’s 50£ ($77) and…
