Sollight Lightship

This solar-powered LED light comes with suction cups and is incredibly handy. I keep one in the car on the back window, so it's always charged in case of a breakdown. It also features a red LED to preserve night vision, as well as an auto-shut-off that uses a light sensor. It is weather sealed and it stood up brilliantly to the sun, salt and sea while I lived in Fiji. I used this device, along with the brilliant LightCap. This latest version of the Sollight classic LightShip is fantastic as ever. Great for hands free light, camping, and emergencies. -- Kaz Brecher SolLight Lightship $18 Comment on this at Cool Tools.

  When did you live in Fiji? I was there from 2002 – 05 .. left before the coup .. and yes .. humidity ate my stereo and other valuable things … always something important to consider.

  Can I opt-out of Cool Tools posts on BoingBoing? Because they are separate blogsand I’d prefer not to read them as an aggregate.

  The whole “red light preserves night vision” thing is mostly wrong.
