The CUBE LED Light by Enevu

When I began to reactivate the “What Tom Gets” blog, I wanted right away to feature a selection of cool tech gizmos. Naturally, that should have meant sexy iPhone and iPad peripherals (think Mayhem UK or Naztech), amazing solar recharging stations (think Solpro), fabulous wearable gadgets (think Fitbit and Misfit) and, of course, what do I lead off with …?

… a 2.5 inch battery operated light that that serves as a nightlight or a disco party ball … er, cube.

The CUBE personal light by Enevu.

Am I distraught about this? Hell no!!

I actually think everyone should have one.

Designed and developed by two entrepreneurs (one design, the other $$), the Enevu CUBE LED light is amazingly simple and dramatically effective. Activate the on-board batteries by pulling out the protective strip thingee (that's the technical term ... look it up) and you’re on your way to having fun with light. 

Me? 

I deploy it on multicolor mode in my office when I am contemplating my navel (which doesn’t happen as often as it should), and also on low as a gentle night light. I’m also anticipating the time this summer when sweltering So. Cal. temperatures cause localized brown- and blackouts. I’ll pop the switch on my CUBE and whatever board/card/shadow puppet (insert drop down menu here) game I’m playing won’t miss a beat.

The CUBE personal light:

• uses 3 AG13 button cell batteries (included and replaceable)
• is white with a light setting so it gradually changes colors (lock on a color with another button press)
• appoximately 2.5x2.5x2.5 inches
• on/off/action mode switch on cube’s base

Purchase the CUBE personal light at the Enevu corporate Web site, www.enevu.com, or simply Google the name.
