Don’t you just hate when you have to go unpack groceries into your pantry? You know, the one that’s in that little crawlspace underneath the stairs that doesn’t have enough room for a light. So you’re down there with a bag full canned goods in one hand and a flashlight in the other, just trying to make sure that you don’t mess up your roommate’s carefully calculated system. It really makes you think about how it would be so much easier if you could just move your pantry, but since that isn’t gonna happen, maybe you’re thinking about how you’d just settle for being able to see two feet in front of your face. Yeah, that sounds like it would be just swell, doesn’t it?
Well be prepared for your dreams to become a reality with the Magnetically Switched LED Micro Lights (ThinkGeek, $6.99). With these teeny little lights, you can have amazingly bright light in just about anyplace you can think of, no matter how small the space. What makes these lights so portable? They’re wireless. That’s right, so don’t have to look for an outlet to plug these into, so you can put them in a closet, underneath the stairs, or even in a drawer without a problem. What you have to do is place the light where you want it, then put the magnet on the opposite side of the light. When the light and the magnet are close to each other, the immediate proximity caused the light to turn off. When you separate the two, the light turns on. So if you put the magnet on the inside of a closet door and then placed the light parallel to it inside the actual closet, then the light would automatically turn on when you opened the closet door because of the space between the magnet and the light. Pretty cool, huh? You can mount the light and magnet using double-sided tape, Velcro, or basically anything sticky. The only downside to these lights is that they run off watch style batteries, and that they need three of these batteries per LED light.
If you’re as clumsy as I am, then you’re totally gonna want a set of these. Actually, you’ll probably want to bulk order them in an attempt to reduce your overall klutz factor. Here’s hoping.
