DAmn that was FAST!
Awesome actually! Imagine reading on airplane this way or at night in bed when an unwilling bedmate tells you to keep off the lightswitch...
don't know... where you fix it ? plus, I don't have my wallet under the pillow :)
its still too thick.
Thats what she said!
not to you!
Lol, owned!
I really like it actually :D
Me too. I've been looking out for a replacement for my [wee-bit thick but] credit-card sized EON ice flashlight. The EON ice failed me in just a few months: crummy switch. I wonder if this one's flexible.

What a bright idea!
Actually I Prefer the JAMES BOND omega wrist watch light..
Turn the bezel and the entire thing lights up... now that is cool
What is the run time/lumens on this nub?
It only costs ten bucks.
To answer your question, I'm guessing Not very long/Not very many
Useful? Crap?
Useful crap?
I still cant decide.
keep in mind that it will never, ever look as good in a real-life scenario as it does in this shot. it's probably not very bright at all.
if its bright enough then fine by me!
I'd love to have such a thing. I'm fond of everything that can make light !
This is one of those cool items that you'll never use in the real world. Breaking into a house maybe? Power outage in a strange building? Not many uses for something this cool.
Shoot man I can find many application for this. Let's say you're at a bar, club, restaurant where lighting is meant to make all the ladies look beautiful and you just bought her a drink. You can't see shit on the receipt so you don't know what the hell they're charging you and you hand them a 20 dollar bill. Well buddy, you would know if you got your trusty creditcard thin flashlight handy. Hell you might even have enough light to find out that the girl is fugly and not have to buy her a drink in the first place. Lesson here, don't pick up girls in dark places without a trusty creditcard flashlight.
Would make a great business card..... print the logo on the bulb...... great for lightening company :-)
Actually I was thinking it would work for any "idea"-based company like an engineering firm or something similar.
The possibilities are endless when you think about it... power companies, think tanks, advertising...... one could even change the bulb to something that reflects their business like a paint can for a paint company or painter, or a key for locksmiths.....
... clever! I seriously want one. You're absolutely right, more room in my wallet at the present time, less on my key chain. This is good for when I'm under the covers and want to see my beautiful girls face while we talk and pretend we're hidden from the world!! :) If only it were a teeny bit brighter. Concept is great imo.
It should be white LED for brighter light and shaped like a halogen light bulb. also make it thinner cuz that's still too thick for a wallet slot.
Would you like it to visit the moon and recreate the full Braveheart movie too?
