Portable Motion Detecting LED Night Light brightens up the dark

The Portable Motion Detecting LED Night Light is a fun and useful gadget that makes getting around in the dark a whole lot easier. And though it only works at night, you don’t need it during the day, anyway.

Whether you’re walking around the house at night or stepping outside for a moment, this LED Night Light makes getting around easier and safer. It runs on a battery and produces a soft blue light so as to not be harsh on the eyes. A photocell is built in that can detect the brightness of the area. The device will only switch on if it is dark.

When the motion sensor is triggered, the LED will turn on and make seeing in the dark easy. The batteries are preserved due to the at-night only function and you can even set auto shut off times. This is a really cool product and for $24.99, it’s something you may very well find yourself using once the sun goes down.

ASUS Eee PC 901 Linux Edition Review

By Ewdison Then on Tuesday, Jun 24th 2008 22 Comments

If the ASUS Eee 900 basically amounted to a larger-screened version of the 7-inch original, then the Eee 901 marks its graduation into a distinct model. Packing Intel’s latest 1.6GHz Atom N270 processor, in place of the 900’s Celeron 900MHz, ASUS could reasonably have left the rest of the notebook the same and simply added a little to the price. Thankfully they’ve subjected the 901 to a mild degree of fettling, tweaking case and controls and making for a markedly more attractive proposition. ASUS sent over the Windows version of the 901; check out what exactly impressed us after the cut.

By Chris Davies on Monday, Jun 23rd 2008 1 Comment

At first glance this looks like a Gameboy Micro clad in wood, but actually the scale is rather different. The handiwork of The Longhorn Engineer, it’s in fact a modified Nintendo-on-a-chip (NOAC) retro NES gaming console packed into a custom wooden case and given a 3.5-inch display and Li-ion batteries for some portable classic play.

Optoma DLP Pico-Projector to launch later in 2008

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Jun 18th 2008 No Comments

Optoma have announced their latest pico-projector, a cellphone-sized portable presentation device that is the first to use the DLP Pico chipset. The company has been pretty coy with details – projected size, for instance, is quoted as “up to 100 times larger” than the 2 to 3-inch display on the source device – and aside from what we can glean from the images the connections it uses are similarly vague.

The Public Alert Weather Radio and Weather Station

By Abby McVay on Tuesday, Jun 10th 2008 No Comments

Working here at Slashgear means that I work from home and occasionally forget to glance outside. I don’t even watch local TV, the entire town could be swooped up into a tornado and I would never even know it. With my tendency to wear headphones all the time it would take a power outage for me to think to look up from my computer.
