LED Pen Light

Yeah yeah, I know. It's not a computer conquest, but I bought my FIRST LED product that was designed to light with an LED. Anyways, found it for $3.99 @ Wallgreens supermarket. Was sitting in a basket all alone (no other products). I got it home and after taking it apart, I found it has 5 small surface-mount LEDs on a small board. Anyways, it works great. Now I don't have to tilt Computer cases to look around in it.

On top of that, I came with Two AAA Batteries to light it 😀

Oh, and I bought some trident gum 😛

All this after having to find out that I have an infected sinus and throat (or glands at the bottom, not sure what they are...)

Dude awesome conquest! 😛

Yeah, that's it! I thought that, but wasn't too sure. But thanks for reassuring it. Anyways, I haven't fully been able to break out the flashlight. It seems pretty bright, but only a true test will show 😉

Not bad for $3??

No not at all. Is it that greenish/whitish LED light?

Blue/White. Still, it does a nice job of illuminating a case. Tried it out this morning 😀

I quite like these LED torches. Recently I got a "wind-up" LED torch that has rechargable batteries and a dynamo handle for charging. It is ideal for keeping in the car in case of any night-time repairs.

My phone has a very bright (probably LED) "flash". it's quite nice. I've used it as a flashlight a few times (whereas I haven't ever actually taken a picture of anything intentionally.)
