Yeah, teeny ones in CW and WW (!), bigger ones with integrated touch-switch (on/off, ramping), and don’t forget the “toothbrush” lights, usually COB but sometimes discrete, that also come in handy.
I kinda stocked up on a lifetime’s worth when GB was blitzing these things at wonderfully low prices (now, forget it, 10× as much).
Especially the WW ones make great nightlights, ’though the pwm can be horrible. Just scan the room with your eyes and you’ll see a big connect-the-dots trail.
Still, I carry 2 of ’em in the little pouch-thing in which I keep my earplugs and flash-thingy.
Once it’s cured with UV, you should have a sticky but shiny surface…
The problem is that the sticky finish will collect fingerprint, pocket lints etc…
So you have to polish it, on a denim jean for example…
I’ve got this type of a light today. White.
It’s a bit larger than I expected really.
Has no UI, plug in to turn on. Beam is mostly rectangular, not clean. Very cool ugly tint. I don’t like it.
Beam is artifact-free. Tint is OK. I like….but they were too large.
So I decided that I wanted to be like CRX, took a file and worked on it until I liked the result (checking if it’s still working from time to time).
At one plug-in, there was a blink and the light went dark.
No good.
So I took another, filed a little less. It works and is significantly better than stock. And it weighs 13% less too! That’s a whooping 0.4g saving.
I have a couple of those that I justed used with my power banks during a 3 day snow storm power outage. They were easily as useful as my fancy expensive lights!
I got the ramping version, which is a little touchy (no pun intended). It’s kind of random what level of light you’ll get. If I buy more I’ll look for a different interface.
They are cheap ($0.89) enough that I bought a handful. I left them in the little plastic bags they came in and distributed them liberally. There’s one in my backpack, wallet, bag of cables in my laptop bag, desk drawer, and rubber-banded to each of my power banks.
