SEARCH LIGHT: You know it’s in there somewhere — the pen, the bottle of aspirin, that lone key, the piece of paper with your reservation details. But all you can do is feel around in the dark depths of your bag, hoping to grab something that feels right. Oops, wrong pill bottle. Stop rummaging and zero in on your quest with the helpful glow of the little SOI Automatic Bag Illuminator from Brainstream Designs. Operating on 2 included replaceable AAA batteries, the 2.8-inch-diameter disk has proximity sensors that detect the energy field of an approaching hand or gentle tap of a finger, activating the bright glow of four LEDs. The light shuts off automatically in about 8 seconds. Items bouncing around in the bag won’t trigger the sensor, but your hands nudging for more light will. There are no buttons or switches to turn off or on, and one set of batteries should last well past your trip. Designed for use in a purse or bag, the Illuminator works well in a drawer, closet, night-table nook or anywhere that shedding a little light would brighten the prospects for success.
