Zap Cane Hides a Flashlight & One Million Volt Charge

Evan Selleck, Dec 30th 2010 Discuss [4]

Canes have been a good way to conceal weapons for a long time. Usually, though, it's a blade of some kind in there. Or, maybe the cane itself is your weapon of choice. Either way, it's a trick that's been tested, and proven effective. The Zap Cane, though, may take things a bit too far. And not because it has a flashlight built-in, either. Read The Full Story

Striker Light Mine Professional Lets You Drop Light Where You Need it

Evan Selleck, Dec 17th 2010 Discuss [0]

There are many different ways out there for someone to put light where they need it. Usually, and in this case, it involves magnets, which let you stick your light source to a metallic source for easy positioning. But sometimes you just need your light to rest on the floor, and using a flashlight doesn't always work out. Having something small enough to fit in the necessary nooks and crannies, but still be bright enough to actually help, is essential. That's where the Striker Light Mine Professional comes in.

Nomad 3600 LED Area Light and Spotlight is cool and then you see the price

Shane McGlaun, Nov 18th 2010 Discuss [0]

I am of the opinion that you can never have to many flashlights around the house. You have to have a few extras because if you have kids a few of the lights will disappear right when you need them. I like the flashlights that are higher tech and allow you to get light where you need it and still keep both of your hands free. Read The Full Story

Evan Selleck, Sep 6th 2010 Discuss [7]

IFA is great for the tech industry. Every facet of the market has a space to show off their latest and greatest. And while Samsung and LG both took plenty of time to show off their glorious devices, smaller companies tend to hide in the shadows. Which is a shame, especially when it comes to a small company out of China called Magic Bulb. They've managed to create an LED bulb that has a rechargeable battery inside, but that also has another trick hidden up its sleeve. Read The Full Story

That would just solve all of your problems, now wouldn't it? Read The Full Story
