SureFire 2211 WristLight is a wearable flashlight watch

NEWS – They say that the best camera is the one that you have with you, so that has to be the same advice for flashlights as well, right? Most of us reading this post probably have a smartphone that we can use as a flashlight in a pinch, but check out this always at the ready WristLight from SureFire.

The SureFire WristLights are available in versions with or without a watch. The 2211 Luminox version that you see above has a Luminox watch which features a Swiss quartz movement, a unidirectional rotating bezel with timer markings, and self-illuminating tritium hands and markers that glow continuously, for readability in low-light situations.

The built-in LED flashlight will shine for up to 1 hour at 300-lumens and as long as 13 hours on low at 15 lumens. The flashlight is rechargeable through a micro USB connector.

You can get all the details about these wearable flashlights on SureFire’s site and you can buy the high-end SureFire 2211 WristLight shown here for $515 on Amazon.

Now you can have a conversation with your trash can because why not?

NEWS – Because it’s high time that trash receptacles should not only hold our garbage but should also open the lid when we ask, I give you the Sensor Can by Simplehuman. The Sensor Can is a 15.3 gallon (58L) trashcan that has two different ways that it can be opened without having to touch the lid. You can wave your hand over the lid to open it with motion, or you can just ask nicely by saying “Open Can” with your voice.

The ultra quiet motor will lift the lid and keep it open as long as you’re standing in front of the trashcan. It will then close it automatically.

Inside the Sensor Can are two separate compartments. The larger 34L side is for your trash and the 24L side has a lift out bucket for recyclables. This trash can from the future even has a handy holder for your trash bags. You can buy a Sensor Can from Simplehuman from Amazon for $249. I bet Oprah has one!

SCOUT versatile portable charger and the Archon invisible wireless charger – Notable crowdfunding campaigns

NEWS – This week we are bringing you information about two different crowdfunding campaigns that are currently running on Kickstarter and Indiegogo that will be of interest to anyone with gadgets that need to be charged.

SCOUT: World’s Most Versatile Charger

What is it?

SCOUT is a portable 10000mAh backup battery that has built-in cables for USB-C, lightning, and microUSB devices. There’s even a version of SCOUT that offers Qi wireless charging.

Why is it cool?

The SCOUT portable charger is cool because it has the cables that you need to connect it to your devices built right into the charger. You can also plug SCOUT directly into a wall outlet because it has a fold-out plug. If those features weren’t enough to get you interested, there’s also a version of the SCOUT charger that allows it to become a wireless charger. Just set your Qi-enabled device on top and it charges. It’s like a Swiss Army knife of portable chargers.

They sent me a pre-production version of the SCOUT Max (non-wireless charging version) and I like it a lot because it’s slim and built-in cables mean I have less stuff to take with me.

Where can I find more info?

The SCOUT campaign ends a month from now and as I’m writing this, they are less than $25 from reaching their funding goal of $10,000. You can pre-order a SCOUT starting at $19. After the SCOUT campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in March 2019. Visit their Indiegogo page for all the details.

Archon : The invisible wireless charger.

What is it?

Archon is a wireless charger that can attach to the bottom of a shelf or drawer to hide it from plain sight.

Why is it cool?

I think Archon is cool because you can hide it from view by mounting it under a table or shelf. It’s also cool that it is powerful enough to charge through a wooden, granite, quartz, glass, or plastic table, and thick device cases.

Where can I find more info?

The Archon campaign ends on 12/27/18 and they still working towards reaching their funding goal of $75,000. You can pre-order an Archon starting at $89. After the Archon campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in May 2019. Visit their Kickstarter page for all the details.

Forget bento lunchboxes! This BentoStack carries your Apple accessories and has a Qi charger, too!

NEWS – The nice thing about bento lunchboxes is that you can pack a lot of stuff in a small, organized container.  That approach has been applied to the Function 101 BentoStack Charge Travel Case with Qi charger.  This Apple accessories organizer has multiple layers that hold USA-type wall chargers, Apple Pencils, Watch bands, and other items.

The Charge model has two deep, divided compartments and two trays to hold items.

For example, in this stack you’ll see MacBook, iPad, and iPhone chargers, two cables, a Watch charging puck, and a set of AirPods in the deeper compartments.  The two trays hold two Watch bands and the Apple Pencil.  The lid is a 5000 mAh power bank and a certified Qi wireless charging pad that’s compatible with iPhone 8/8 Plus and iPhone X and newer, and there’s also a USB port for charging other devices that aren’t wirelessly chargeable.

The top tray can also be used as a phone stand when you aren’t storing your Pencil.

The BentoStack Charge is available in the gray seen in the top image at Amazon for $99.95; it is not eligible for free Prime shipping.  If you want to order directly from Function 101, you can get the BentoStack Charge in space gray, silver, or rose gold to fit USA-style chargers for $99.95.

If you don’t need the wireless charging, you can get the Function 101 BentoStack Organizer in space gray, silver, or rose gold to fit USA-style chargers for $49.95 at Amazon or at Function 101.

If you use Euro wall plugs, Function 101 also has the BentoStack and the BentoStack Charge available.  They also fit chargers used in Australia, New Zealand, Korea, and Latin America.
