I was thumbing through a magazine and the ad for Solight LIght Cap caught my eye. I looked up their site, http://www.sollight.com/products/lightcap.cfm and thought that it is an interesting gimmick.
Basically it is an LED bulb; both white and red, in the top of what looks like a clear Lexan bottle, once you fill it with water it amplifes the light so you have a latern. Kind of cool, but not very high on the 'must have' list. It has a solar cell on top that recharges the battery that runs the light. It has some cool factor and it is multi functional; water bottle and latern. It does not look like a practical flashlight or replacement for a headlamp either.
Now I am wondering about what kind of homemade setup I can make that compares...
