My latest favorite gadget is a Wuben G5 light. Very compact, very bright, and has lots of handy features like a swivel and magnet. $20 on Amazon right now.

I have 3 for myself as I like to keep them around the house. I've also bought a couple as gifts for my sons who both really liked them.





Neat looking flashlight! Can you turn it on and off without having to cycle through other modes? One thing I dislike about a lot of LED flashlights is having to go through dim, strobe, etc. modes before I can turn the light back off.

I bought one a while back and I want to like it, but it's always turning off right when I need it.

The sliding switch on the side needs more resistance. I bump it accidentally, or it slides itself.

Could be some user error involved.

There's a lot to like about it, otherwise.


The rotary brightness/color control on those feels flimsy. Not a huge demerit for a $20 gadget but still worth mentioning.
