Your bag or backpack is one of your most essential travel items and contains all the goodies you need to get by. Whether wandering the cobbled streets of Florence or hiking the highlands of Scotland, you don’t want to be spending time rummaging around to find exactly what you need.
Meet Soi, the automatic handbag light. This palm-sized pebble is a highly efficient light that brightens the contents of your bag to help you find what you need, when you need it. This gadget uses detection technology that allows it to light up as soon as it senses an approaching hand. It turns itself off again after a short period of time. As the advertisement explains, Soi means finding, not searching.
What makes Soi so great? Crafted in Germany, this gadget uses four powerful LEDS that allow for at least 3000 illuminations before the batteries need replacing (it comes with two button batteries included). It’s conveniently sized, weighs less than 50g and fits easily in all kinds of bags, backpacks and purses. It’s also compact, measuring 7cm in diameter and 22mm high. And it’s made from fully recycle materials, so when the device has reached the end of its life, it can be taken to an electronics recycling unit.
The Sol automatic handbag light is available online and retails at AU$40.
