But it goes without saying that having a small and inexpensive light source wherever and whenever you need it is not only practical and helpful, in an emergency situation it is downright\u00a0<strong>MANDATORY!\u00a0<\/strong>and once again the good folks at County-Comm have provided a solution.<\/p>\n<p>The<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.countycomm.com\/cageled.html\"> Cage Pocket LED Light<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>is one of those devices that exemplifies the word <em><strong>&#8220;utilitarian&#8221;<\/strong><\/em> to a tee.<\/p>\n<p>As the description from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.countycomm.com\/whatsnew.html\"><strong>County-Comm&#8217;s<\/strong> <\/a>website states:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>These CAGE LED pocket lights were specially made at the request of an emergency communications group. These are not your standard pocket lights and they&#8217;re <span class=\"RED-HIGHLIGHT\">2x brighter<\/span> than previous models with a clear natural color white LED. The bright white LED causes the body to glow a natural smoky color when it is being used.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Has a locking click on \/ click off user friendly unterface.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>( Simply press the center of the light and it stays on until you click again )<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No doubt that these will be winners for Halloween and beyond.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Black Oxide Split Ring As Shown Included.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For those of you that have been through a natural disaster or maybe operated out in the field away from the power grid, you know the extreme importance of having reliable light sources on your person. The prepper mentality when it comes to lights has always been one of &#8220;spread the love&#8221; or &#8220;spread your resources&#8221; so you don&#8217;t have to depend on one light for everything. This not only goes for reliable flashlights, but also small, pocket lights like the <strong>CAGE LED.<\/strong> You can literally put these little boogers everywhere you think having a light source would be important, which when you start thinking about it, is a whole lot of places!<\/p>\n<p>Some examples off the top of my head:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>House Key Keychain:<\/strong> so in the event the porch light is not on, you are not fumbling around playing that really fun game of &#8220;I hope it fits the lock&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Kids Backpacks:\u00a0<\/strong>one because it looks cool and two, it actually can come in handy one day.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bug-out-Bag<\/strong>..Yeah, I don&#8217;t think I need to give a reason.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Medical Pack:<\/strong> Because if you need something in this pack, you most likely don&#8217;t wan to be looking around for a light.<\/li>\n<li><strong>VBOB<\/strong>: Yeah you could change a tire by the light of one \u00a0of these if you had too!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">I have a <strong>CAGE LED<\/strong> attached inside my\u00a0<strong>Laptop Bag\u00a0<\/strong>and it has been very handy as I am always looking for something in the bottom of my bag at odd hours \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hcsblogdotorg.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/dscn2845.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7892\" src=\"https:\/\/hcsblogdotorg.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/dscn2845.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"DSCN2845\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">I also have one on my <strong>Range Bag.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hcsblogdotorg.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/dscn2847.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7893\" src=\"https:\/\/hcsblogdotorg.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/dscn2847.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"DSCN2847\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">And what BOB would be complete without a<strong> CAGE LED<\/strong> on the exterior?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hcsblogdotorg.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/dscn2848-e1441560151887.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7894\" src=\"https:\/\/hcsblogdotorg.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/dscn2848-e1441560151887.jpg?w=225\" alt=\"DSCN2848\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">And one inside your Med kit too&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hcsblogdotorg.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/dscn2843.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7895\" src=\"https:\/\/hcsblogdotorg.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/dscn2843.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"DSCN2843\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the best features on these is they are 2x as bright as the previous model, so they are plenty bright to do most task and instead of the momentary switches like most LED lights of this type typically have, the <strong>CAGE LED&#8217;s<\/strong> have the more practical \u00a0&#8220;clickable on\/off switch&#8221; to truly make these hands free and more user friendly.
