    A really versatile LED light.

    The INOVA 24/7 has been around for a while, but the folks at Niteize have given it a great makeover. It’s a multi-functional LED flashlight and emergency light combined with a system of accessories that provide an almost infinite number of uses and applications. The rugged polymer case is water resistant and can endure temperatures from -20° to +50°C (That's -4 to +122 F.) Utilizing advanced LED technology it provides eight steady and signaling functions. The base is stable enough to make the INOVA 24/7 a freestanding flashlight. There's a built-in stainless steel clip for attaching to clothes or gear. The included accessory kit adds a neck lanyard, headband, magnetic mount and four wall mounting brackets with the options of mounting screws and foam adhesive strips. The eight high-output, lifetime-guaranteed, LEDs include 4 White, 2 Red and 2 Yellow. The LEDS change as your rotate the bezel switch. There’s Low intensity white, High intensity white, White strobe, White "SOS", Red & Yellow flashing, Red and Yellow strobe, Red, and finally – if you set the bezel between any of the regular settings, you get the “find me” mode. That’s where the two red LEDs flicker briefly every 5 seconds. That’s so you can find it in the dark. Prices are all over the place, from about $42 to $60. At the link below it’s $42 at Amazon. (I have not bought anything from this web retailer, however:)
