Cord Lock Flashlight Dangles Dongle From Jackets

LEDs are kind of like the integrated circuit of the flashlight world — they are so tiny that they can be squeezed into just about anything — you no longer need to worry about big incandescent bulbs or D-Cell batteries. The downside is that this kind of thinking leads us to all kinds of badly designed junk (I’m looking at you, USB thumb drives).
Fortunately, the folks at Sahalie are hawking a very useful LED lamp, a tiny glowing light built into a cord lock, the cord clamps found on jackets and bags of all kinds. The name you can probably guess. It’s called the Cord Lock Light.
The little $10 widget hangs from your coat doing the exact same clothes-fastening job that a regular dumb clamp would do. But when you need to read a map, or find a keyhole, or dig your iPod from the bottom of your bag, it’s there for you. It’s even water resistant, for use in a bar.
The obvious next step for this tech is the Fly Zipper LED, for safely aiming streams whilst seeking relief in darkened alleyways on those long, long walks back from the pub.
