Cool Tools

“Ever tried repairing a leaky sink trap while holding a flashlight? It’s difficult, if not impossible. Now it’s HUGlight (by ShowerTek Inc.) to the rescue. Coil its flexible wire arms so it sits on a flat surface, flip on the four LED lights at the end of its two tails, and you’ve got enough illumination to do an appendectomy.

Covered in soft foam, the arms also wrap around your neck for household repairs and bedtime reading. The lights, two spot and two wide-angle, operate independently. Runs for 40 hours on two AA batteries. $14.95 at www.mylight.com and coming to Wal-Mart, Costco and other retailers.”

Lugging, Hugging, and Mugging

“Covered in fuzzy orange with a pink flashlight thingie wrapped around my neck, I was quite the sight on our 10-hour flight to the Netherlands a few weeks ago… Then along came the HUGlight ($19). It’s a one-piece, hands-free, flexible LED light, 13 inches long when stretched out. I love them all. Diane appreciates the versatile HUGlight.
The beauty is in its flexibility and versatility. When you wear an LED headlamp, you can’t look someone in the eye or you’ll blind them. With the lightweight HUG, you can direct the light more appropriately. Lights are at both ends and have three settings. You can also prop it up in a coil or cobra for a little mini table lamp, or hook it over something. On the plane I used it for reading at night, because I hate the too-high airplane lights, and for help in locating the numerous items I dropped under my seat. Glasses, pens, etc.”

Tech the halls: gifts for gadget-lovers

“Few things are as comforting as curling up under a Snuggie with a good book; few things are as frustrating as curling up and not having enough light to read the book you curled up with. The lightweight HUGlight is a flexible, soft foam tube with LED lights on either side, one for wide angle, the other a spotlight; there’s a rubber grip neck pad in the back to hold it in place once you get cozy. You get 40 hours of light off two AAA batteries. In several colors for $14.95, at Walmart, Costco and other retailers or www.mylight.com. And yes, we love our Snuggie, silly as it looks.”

See what “Boing Boing” had to say about the HUGlight:

“Of the many booklights I’ve tried, this one ($15 at Amazon) is the best. With four LED lights, two on the end of each flexible stalk, the clincher is that it’s never clutter. It can be molded into a bedside lamp, hung around the neck for weightless book reading, wrapped around the wrist for plumbing jobs, and so on. Some suggested configurations: ‘The Charmed Snake’, ‘The Helix’, and ‘The Pistol’. I understand that the official term for the configuration depicted in the PR photo is ‘The Screamer’. “

We got reviewed by Terri Mapes on About.com:

“I’m usually not into travel gadgets, but the HUGlight has come in handy for me while hiking and during a power outage in an old hotel. The HUGlight can be a practical travel gadget to carry with you.

Pros

• Practical and light-weight
• You can hang it around your neck
• Reasonable price
• Comes with batteries

Cons

• Packaging somewhat hard to cut open
• My first HUGlight didn’t work (Mfr. replaced immediately)

Description

• I like that the HUGlight’s package includes the two AAA batteries needed.
• You don’t have to have the lights on both arms on – you can switch on 1, 2, 3, or all 4 LEDs.
• Reasonable price for a practical travel gadget.
• Make the HUGlight “greener” by using rechargeable batteries.

Guide Review – HUGlight Review: Traveling with a HUGlight

The HUGlight is one of my latest travel gadgets, and I must say, a new found favorite. The HUGlight’s foam arms are flexible, so you can have both arms pointed wherever you need the light. The four LEDs are quite bright. I think the HUGlight is really nice for travelers, especially if you want to go hiking or camping in Scandinavia. It doesn’t weigh much and fits in a backpack nicely.

I like that the HUGlight’s package includes the two AAA batteries needed. Plus, you don’t have to have the lights on both arms on – for example, you can bend the HUGlight to stand up like a table lamp. Came in handy during a power outage in one of the budget hotels in Helsinki…

I haven’t found a downside to the HUGlight but make sure all LEDs on yours work – my first HUGlight had a defective arm, but MyLight sent a new one right away. And I can’t confirm the 40-hour lifespan for the batteries quite yet. MSRP is $15, and the HUGlight comes in 6 color combinations. The plastic packaging was a little hard to open.”

William Hageman from the Chicago Tribune wrote this very nice article about the Latch Light:

“Hikers, fishermen and campers can brighten their lives with a handy new gadget, the MyLight LED Latch Light.

Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, the waterproof light can fit in your pocket or tackle box or attach to backpacks, tents, key chains or belt loops. (It can also be set up as a tiny spotlight for those late-night card games.)

The light is about the size of a Ping-Pong ball, and casts light in white or red (for those nighttime adventures).”

The Dallas News had the following to say about the Latch Light:

“Getting ready for a camping trip this summer?

If you’d rather leave the heavy flashlight at home, the MyLight LED Latch Light is a superbright light that’s smaller than your palm, never burns out and clips to anything from a backpack to a tent, a belt loop to a keychain.

It’s available in blue, pink, charcoal and clear. It comes with two lithium batteries and has an average battery life of 40 hours. The LEDs never need to be replaced. Available for $9.95 each at www.mylight.com.”

The Orange County Register writes:

“The carabineer light from MyLight features a swivel-mounted light, two bright LEDs and a waterproof and removable lamp. Great for hikers, campers and other outdoor enthusiasts.”
