Attaching one to a walking stick is clever—hadn’t thought of that. I could see it being handy for spotting roots or uneven spots on a twilight stroll around the garden. Not super bright, but it’d definitely help with those shadowy patches where toads like to hide. Anyone try using two at once, maybe on boots or a hat for extra visibility?

Attaching one to a walking stick is clever—makes evening walks safer, especially if you’re near traffic or uneven ground. Anyone find the magnet gets gunked up with dirt outside?
Attaching it to a dog’s collar is smart—it’s so lightweight, the pups don’t even notice. Anyone tried it clipped to a chicken coop door for late-night egg checks?
Convenient charging and a solid battery life, you say? Sold! One more thing, does it come with a warranty?
Convenient charging is a huge plus for me too, especially not having to fuss with buying spare batteries. As for the warranty, it does actually come with a 2-year warranty from OLIGHT, at least according to their listing and what I dug up on their site. That covers defects in materials and workmanship, which gives some peace of mind for a $14 gadget. I’m curious how their customer service is if anyone’s actually had to use it? Sometimes for smaller electronics they just send you a replacement, no questions asked, but you never know until you try.
The built-in battery makes me wonder about longevity, though. Has anyone here had one of these over a year?
Clipping one to a walking stick is clever, ChrysanthiDream. I’ve actually wrapped a tiny Velcro strap around the handle of my old trekking pole to hold small flashlights, and something this size would fit perfectly. It’s surprisingly handy if you’re out at dusk or need to spot tripping hazards—especially if your eyesight isn’t quite what it used to be! The magnetic base means you could also stick
Clipping one to a walking stick is clever—might try that for those late greenhouse checks! Anyone notice if the magnet sticks to aluminum poles or just steel?
Attaching one of these to a walking stick is a clever move, ChrysanthiDream. I’ve used something similar for poking around the garden after dark—does wonders for spotting weeds, slugs, and even the occasional toad under the hostas. The magnetic base actually grips decently well to any metal ferrule you might have, but a bit of tape or a twist tie keeps it from bouncing off on a rough path. The beam’s focused enough for illuminating your next few steps without blinding yourself (or the neighbor’s cat).
Took mine out the last time we lost power—left it magnetized to the side of a bookcase while digging for candles. Light fills a small space better than I’d expected, and the hands-free part really is useful if you’re juggling tasks or, in my case, rummaging through old boxes for supplies. Anyone else notice it doesn’t get hot after prolonged use? That’s
