Turn Your iPod into a Flashlight
Blinkit is a new accessory that turns iPods into flashlights.
Some may question the reasoning of turning a $300 music player into a flashlight, but the device combines a brilliant light beam and a fun flasher that beats in rhythm to the music.
“Blinkit complements the active lifestyles of iPod users everywhere,” said William Weibel, CEO of Intuitive Devices, Inc. “It not only provides personal visibility in darkness, it features six different flash modes with a variety of practical and fun uses. It’s a very cool and useful accessory.”
Users can light a dark path or trail, have a safety flasher in an emergency, be safe in a dark parking garage, find a car or house door lock at night, read a book or a map in darkness, locate a seat in a dark theatre, spotlight keys in the bottom of a purse or backpack and shed light on any hard to reach places.
The device plugs directly into any iPod with a dock connector and employs a dual LED beam designed to minimize battery use. A single-button, microprocessor controlled system operates the inch-square, half-ounce device, which does not interfere with simultaneous headphone usage.
An adjustable mirror system lets users direct light forward or to both sides with a high-output beam visible up to several hundred yards away.
Blinkit comes with five interchangeable tinted lens caps to change the light color emitted.
Blinkit is available for $29.95 at the BlinkItNow site, at the Apple Store and at selected Apple retail outlets.
