Attaching one to a walking stick is a fantastic idea—never thought of that! I use mine clipped to my market tote or jacket zipper for early-morning errands, but having light right at the tip of your stick would be brilliant for spotting uneven ground or sneaky rocks. These little OLIGHTs really are more durable than they look; mine took a tumble down the cellar stairs and kept shining. The magnet base is a major plus if you need to set it on a metal gate or tool box while both hands are full, too.
The low profile makes it good for not snagging on things or weighing down what you’re carrying—my grandkids don’t even notice it on their backpacks. And yes, charging with a solar pack works just as well as USB from the wall (just takes a tad longer if it’s cloudy, but that’s to be expected).
Has anyone noticed if the battery life drops off after several months of regular use? I haven’t seen any issues yet, but curious how they hold up a year down the line.
