Okay, this is our second day in a row looking at Nite Ize products, and today we are going to discuss the ones that glow. I will start with the Radiant 300 Rechargeable Lantern.
The Nite Ize Radiant 300 Rechargeable Lantern has a one button operation. By clicking it once, you will get a bright white light, and clicking it a few more time will turn the luminousity down. If you hold down the button, then the light will glow red. It shines very brightly, and it has an optical diffuser made for a uniform beam pattern.
What makes the Nite Ize Radiant 300 lantern great is that it is rechargeable, and there are USB ports for charging the lantern as well as a way to allow the lantern to charge mobile devices. Yes, this is a very useful tool to have in this mobile age, and it is available for $44.99 on the Nite Ize site.
Then there is the Nite Ize INOVA STS PowerSwitch, which is a lantern made for the cranium. It has a smaller maximum output of 280 Lumens, but it is just as versatile as the Radiant 300 Rechargeable Lantern.
When the INOVA STS PowerSwitch is attached to your head, you can swipe your finger to turn it on or off. If you swipe to your left you get a white light, swipe left again and you will get a blinking light. Should you swipe to the right, you will get the same results, but with a red light. I had a difficult time getting it to work at first, but I have a hunch that repeated attempts could make it easier.
As for the power, it has a Lithium Ion battery that is rechargeable, or you also have the option of 3 AAA batteries. By the way, it is also IPX7 waterproof.
I would have to say that the INOVA STS PowerSwitch is quite a deal, and it can be purchased on the Nite Ize site for $59.99 along with the accessories of Battery Pack ($24.99), Bike Mount ($6.99), Headlamp Bracket and Strap ($6.99), along with Helmet Mount ($6.99).
This last item is definitely very useful, but only if you are a dog owner. This is the Nite Ize NiteHowl glowing collar.
It is made for dogs with 12-27 inch necks, and you literally have to cut it with scissors or knife to adjust it. It is designed to pop one end in and out for putting on your dog, and the glow can be blinking if you like. It does operate on batteries, so it can glow forever.
However, it is handy to have what looks like a lightsaber around your furry friend’s neck. Like most dog owners, I let me dog out in the dark of night, and now I can see her a whole lot easily.
You can get the NiteHowl glowing collar in Green, Red, Blue, or Orange for about $12.19 on the Nite Ize site.
