Hey guys,

I have a friend who is distributing these things locally through Yellow Hat and a number of different locations in the UAE. I have one and it is VERY cool and VERY useful.
It is a cap that has two LED's built into it and uses solar power to charge. The lights can be dimmed to conserve energy and you can get about 6 hours of light out of them on one charge.
If you are RC-ing at night, or even tinkering on the cars in low light they are really helpful. They also have SOS/flashing modes so if you are on a bike or walking on the side of the road, people can see you.



They come in a whole range of different styles and colours, and if anyone is interested in getting one, please feel free to let me know and I can try a group buy? I think they retail for about AED149 but we might get a discount on numbers.

Drop me a PM if interested...

looks interesting... hmmm

we need numbers and maybe we can have discount!

Looks a bit 'Joe 90' to me.

I had to google that...

They are really cool, I usually work on the Alfa in the evenings and it really helps, the head-lamp thingies are cool but not as comfortable to wear, use batteries really quick and are not always 'on-hand'

You gonna build your own one?

better use them under the sun..

charges the batts while you use 'em..

Whoever thought the irish inventionof the solar powered torch would work.....but it does....and well too!

Hey guys,

I know I had some interested parties at one stage, but it was never followed up. We have them in a number of retail outlets, so if you are interested, I can arrange for a group buy discount for you.

There are a number of new styles available too, including camo street-cap style. They are really useful and I 'test-drove' one in Botswana.....believe me, going for a pee in the middle of the night with wild animals around you, you need a decent light to see the eye reflections in the dark
..or to find your beer, or to simply tunr the meat on the BBQ, hands-free

I'd probably put my hand up for one.

Good for camping and should get a least a novelty laugh out of it.

How much are they usually?

group buy??? count me in.

Retail Price is about AED149, dependant on style/type. I will arrange a decent discount for 5 or more....look at around AED100...or in beer terms....3 or 4 pints in the local these days...

im still in for one of these

Ok, I have four interested, at that qty I will get them for AED115.

If you want to know the styles, send a mail to me at sirandyv(at)gmail(dot)com

If you guys are still interested, cobone have got a good deal on these
