Panther Vision recently sent me a pack of these Button Lamps and asked me to use them if I had a need; they’re mini adhesive-backed LED lights. I stuck them in a few different spots including under a miter saw, under the backseat of my truck, and in a closet. One of the most helpful spots I’ve found for these so far was in a toolbox. Having this little light really made finding oddball items in the dark much easier.
The lamps aren’t blindingly bright, but realistically, do you always need that much light? How many times do you use your cellphone screen or LED for a flashlight in a pinch? This is basically the same idea. Each light is an individually sealed unit that comes preloaded with batteries, and you toss them when they die.
They’re available in a pack of 6 that sells for $9.99
