Battery LED Flashlight

 

There has been lots of different flashlights released over the years. Some big, small, LED, non-LED, however today we bring to you a Cute Little LED Flashlight that clips onto a battery. This handy gadget indicates how simple a flashlight really is. If you are interested in designing a flashlight by yourself all you need is the following:

  • A bulb or a few LEDs (if you are interested in making a LED flashlight)
  • A power source
  • A switch

You also need the connecting wires which will go between the components to connect them.

The Cute Little LED flashlight is not going to provide a strong beam of light, however it will provide enough light to carry out quick simple tasks when you are in stuck in complete darkness.

The actual size of that flashlight is only about one third of the size of a 9V battery which is used to power it. You only need to clip the LED flashlight on to the battery and then press the appropriate power button. This may not be a subversive product, but it is still pretty neat enough, especially at only $7.50.

Are you a shower or a bath person? If the answer is bath, click the back button because this will not interest you. However, if you like showers continue reading. This shower gadget called the LED Shower Head adds a colourful element to an otherwise typical shower.

The specially designed custom shower head at first glance looks like a normal shower head; however on closer inspection LED’s can be seen.  Now, the LED’s do not just light up as that would just be boring, the LED’s change colour depending on the temperature of the water flowing.  For example, if water coming out the shower head is at a temperature of 90°F or lower the LED’s color is green. If the water dispensed from the shower head is warmer, e.g. 91°F to 105°F it turns blue and between 107 to 113°F the LED’s will turn red.

There is nothing worse than expecting to step into a nice hot shower after a hard day at work to be shocked by coldness; with this shower head gadget you may never do it again. More importantly, with the colored LED’s there is no chance of surprising yourself with the water being too hot. One final feature is the flashing alert by the LED’s when the water reaches a temperature of 114°F or more preventing scalding.

Priced at $13 each, these retrofitted shower heads are good value for money. They are easily fitted requiring no power source as the internal generator is powered by the flow of water through the unit.
