Matches are a great way to part a fire when you do n’t want to fray a bunch of sticks together , but their short burn time make them fearful when you just involve a little light . Here ’s a better idea : amatchbook full of tiny disposable LED flashlightsyou can keep gather by for when you need some hand brake lighting .
MBI — orMatchBox Instruments — already has a solid expertise when it comes to making tiny flashlights . But the company has come up with something truly singular with its new matchbook set .
The tiny flashlights , wrick on when you press their tip against a hard airfoil , a fleck like striking a equal . Each light die hard for about eight minute using their self - hold shelling . So the integral book provide 64 hours of emergency brake firing without ever take to fumble for a unfermented Seth of battery .
There ’s even a tiny magnet embedded in the pedestal of each equal so they can be temporarily mounted somewhere for hands - free cognitive operation . You ’ll be able to get multiple colors by set simple tinct filters over the LEDs .
Do n’t go tossing the flashlight in your emergency toolkit , though . The matchbook flashlights are n’t available just yet , but you could pre - order a circle for $ 28 through the company’sIndiegogo crowdfunding campaignthat ’s trying to raise $ 10,000 , and enough orders , for an initial production rivulet .
The creators claim they expect to surrender sometime in July , and while the usual crowdfunding caveats and cautions apply here , the creator of the matchbook flashlights ’ only business organisation about yield is that the MBI logo end up being decent aligned on the verboten housing . That , and that no one incidentally swallows one of these by chance event .
