Da Mare could use this to point out cracks in the infrastructure at Wrigley Field. You, having a forgiving nature, will resist the urge to point out cracks in da mayor's infrastructure. You will, of course, use it to point out chimney cracks to the tuck-pointer, a cracked limb to the tree-trimmer, and the crack in your profit picture during a slide presentation. You can do all that and much, much more with the bright light from this 5mW green laser pointer. It's an unbelievable tool. If you need a laser pointer that seems to go on forever and is so strong that you can actually see the beam in the dark, it will be the best low-cost investment you ever made. Or the coolest high-end toy. The 532nm Class IIIa light is 5-5/8" long x 1/2" dia, with (2) "AAA" batteries (not included), a momentary-on switch, pocket clip. (Sorry case not included). An absolute necessity for construction, surveying, warehousing, inspection and other large sites. And for playing in the dark.

Let there be light. Without switches. These (2) pivoting light bars at 6-3/8" x 1-5/8" x 3/4" with two 2" COB LEDs are motion- and light-sensitive (with a 30-second auto-off feature), and can be mounted pretty much anywhere via their self-adhesive strips and disc magnets. With 90-degree tilt-ability and rated at 300 lumens, these little lights are about as bright and versatile as anything this size can be. Each package comes with (2) light bars and (3) AAA batteries for each. Get a couple and you’ll probably be back for more.

This pocket-sized mini-flashlight has (9) 405nm ultraviolet LEDs and myriad uses, from checking U.S. currency to working the door at your ultra-hip downtown clubs, spotting radiator and transmission fluid leaks, mineral identification, and (yes, it's true) locating lost scorpions in the dark. Measures approx 3-3/4" long x 1-1/8" dia with knurled sections so you won't lose your grip, and a wrist strap in case you do. You supply (3) "AAA" batteries and the scorpions.

Paul’s in love with these solar patio accent lights, probably because he’s charmed by Edison bulbs, which these resemble. Dual COB strips inside a glass bulb are powered by a solar cell in the base. The bulb and cell hang upside down in a 6-1/2” tall x 5” black wire cage, like work lights, with a handle. Has a sensor for auto shut-off plus a main switch. Picture a series of them hung from a wire over your deck, across your back yard or at your campsite, with no outlet needed. They also look good sitting on a table.

Nothing personal, electricians, but these bright (60 lumens) COB LEDs are cute, wireless and mount via a magnetic back or the included double-sided foam tape. Twist-on, twist-off. Perfect accent lighting for under counters or bookshelves, but handy anywhere. Measure 1-1/8” dia x 1/2” thick, and swivel right or left inside the detachable mounts. Powered by a pair of button-cell batteries, included. Our each is (6) lights.

Our newly updated wireless motion-sensing light now comes with COB LEDs for brighter and more energy efficient 120 lumen white light in a 3-1/8" dia mirrored face that throws light approx 15 feet. This makes it great for small rooms, large closets or gigantic doll houses. Housing is 4-3/4" x 4" x 2-1/8" in white plastic on a pivoting turntable that rotates 360 degrees. Detects motion within 10 feet, stays lit for approx 60 seconds, but also has an on-off switch. Battery housing (you add a quartet of "AA"s) is gasketed for water resistance. Includes mounting hardware. Made by i-Zoom®.

Yes, the sun already lights your yard, but with this set of (100) solar-powered white LEDs, it will light up the yard at night, too. On a 40-foot cord attached to a solar cell and a NiMH rechargeable battery, it operates in steady-on or flashing modes. Recharges in the day and illuminates at night. Eight-hour charge cycle. Internal sensor detects ambient light and only turns on at night. Includes mounting hardware, mollies and a 7" mounting stake. Perfect for the holidays in remote locations. Great for modeling or doll houses.

Our most reversible double-axle split and swiveling lantern work-light. Hard to explain, but incredibly handy. Has a pair of opposed but ratcheting frames/handles, bracketing a pair of intense 500-lumen LED COB lights in waterproof housings. Carry it or stand it up and shine the lights up or at 90-degrees or anywhere in-between, together or separately. Probably best to just buy it and see for yourself how useful it is. Measures 7-3/8" x 4-3/4" when it’s folded and double that when open, and comes with (4) “AA”s for power.

You know about messages and ships in bottles, so it’s probably time for you to branch out with these terrariums in bulbs. It was bound to happen. Our very nice, clear-glass, upside-down light bulbs measure 7" tall x 3-1/2" dia at the widest. Inside they have polished rocks and plastic succulent foliage accented by a stylish 10-LED string of grain-of-wheat-style lights twisting through it. Featured flora include agave, aloe vera, torch plant and jade. Comes with four CR2032 coin cells for power. Just press the top to turn on the lights.

Call it a gonzo version of our best work-light, this 4-5/8" x 2-1/4" x 1" cigarette-pack-size light has (60) white LEDs in a 3" x 1-1/2" window with a bright mode and a way brighter mode that would blind a turkey vulture, plus (4) more for a standard flashlight mode. Includes a flip-out easel, hook and a disc magnet. Comes with (3) "AAA"s. Manufacturer rates this bad boy at 900 lumens. 

But here’s a nightlight for your driveway or backyard anyway! By iZoom®, and direct from the late-night infomercials, this solar-powered light has (8) white COB LEDs across its face and a rechargeable lithium battery inside. It’s motion and light-sensitive, and shines brighter when it senses motion . Measures 4-1/2" x 3-3/8" x 1-3/4" and comes with a self-adhesive pad on the back, plus screws and mollies. You supply the darkness. Sells for $12.95 at a popular home retailer.

We don't like to brag, but it's tough not to in a case like this. This is a wonderful pen-shaped laser pointer, 5-1/4" long, flat black or silver with gold pocket clip and head. It throws a red point a loong way (we've thrown it two city blocks at night, and it would've gone farther, but buildings got in the way). And what are we so proud of? We've seen a very similar item-not identical, mind you, but essentially the same-in one of those glossy, toys-for-grown-men catalogs. Their price? $20! We're proud not to be profit-mongers, buy it here and you can take pride in your smart shopping habits. Case and (2) AAA Batteries are not included.

Stop waiting for Steven Spielberg to call, and just put your name in a marquee yourself. Also handy for greeting guests of honor at parties. Our marquees have (3) white-LED backlit rows ready to take the letters, numbers, punctuation marks and, yes, emojis, that will make you a legend in your own time. You pick: the Mini-Marquee, 6" x 4" x 1-1/2" with (90) characters, powered by (4) “AA” batteries that you add; or the Cinema Light Box, 11-11/16" x 8-5/8" x 2" with (100) characters, powered by (3) “AA” batteries (not included). Both will sit up by themselves, or hang via a pair of slotted mounting holes. (Both will also run via a micro USB cord if you have one.)

You’ll never curse the darkness again because you’ll be able to obliterate it with this hand-sized floodlight and its 2-1/2" COB LED rated for 600 lumens. Has (2) modes, a weather-resistant 5-1/2" x 4" x 1-1/2" housing with rubber corners, a ratcheting handle/stand, (4) embedded disc magnets and (4) AA batteries for power. It’d be imprudent not to have a few of these on hand. Think: garage, basement, closet, shed, camper, tent, boat, cabin, cottage, attic…need we go on?

Bring back the '70s for nine bucks. Screw this red-green-blue LED prismatic, rotating bulb into any standard medium-base light socket and your room turns into disco heaven. Bulb will stand about 5" above or below the socket. Draws approx 6W. CJ recommends any Donna Summer album for use with it. Please note that the remote depicted on the packaging is not included.

Hook these on the zipper pulls on your jackets and you'll never be in the dark again. Tiny LED lights measure 1" x 9/16" in a 5/16" thick oblong, and come on a 7/8" long lanyard clip. We'll pick some that will go with your eyes, in blue, green, black or red. Include little button cell batteries that can be replaced if you're the sort of person who does that.

Or baton jaune. This telescoping combo worklight/traffic baton looks like a red or yellow baton, but pull the ends and it opens to reveal a 9-3/8” long, 1200-lumen COB light in the middle. Measures 2-5/16" hexagon and extends from 13" to 23" with swivel hooks recessed on both ends, and pair of magnets on the handle. Housing is translucent so when closed it will work like a traffic baton. Runs for (4) hours on the (8) included “AA” batteries, and can be seen for up 246 ft/75m.

Or garage, or hallway--anywhere that’s wireless in the bad sense. CJ calls this “another retina scorcher” from iZoom® because of the brightness of the COB lights. Fixture measures 3" x 4" x 13/16" in white plastic with a big rocker switch that activates the 1” white COB LED in its center. Powered by (4) “AAA”s, included. Mounts via self-adhesive hook-and-loop pads or the pair of little disc magnets on the back.
