World’s Tiniest Flashlight Multi-Tool Launches Kickstarter Campaign

LONDON, UK, 2019-Sep-24 — /EPR ELECTRONICS NEWS/ — In early 2019, the Kickstarter campaign for UK-based design company SEPTEM Studio hit an incredible 32x beyond its goal in support of their ingenious HUNT22 titanium micro UV-flashlight (£2,000 goal / £65,520 pledged). Waterproof, fireproof, crushproof and smaller than a house key, the tiny everyday carry (EDC) gadget was backed by more than 1,600 people. As they manufactured and shipped the HUNT22, getting feedback and suggestions from users, the people at SEPTEM Studio came to recognize they could make it even better… Now, they’re launching a new Kickstarter for the HUNT23 – a similarly small flashlight, but this time the design includes a tiny pry bar on the end, which lends itself to dozens of daily multi-tool applications such as a screwdriver, a bottle opener, a box cutter, a scraper, a paint can opener… Oh, and this time, the HUNT23 is available either as a UV or a super-bright white light.

SEPTEM Studio has a solid track record of bringing product to market. Its first project was a pair of collapsible titanium chopsticks. The HUNT23 is their third Kickstarter of 2019, with units planned to ship in November (they make great holiday gifts!)

“After using our flashlights for a while, the single function – while useful – seemed like a wasted opportunity for truly upgrading our everyday carry,” said team leader of SEPTEM Studio. “We’ve always loved the idea of having a screwdriver or bottle opener with us, but the thought of attaching yet another item to our keyring was just too much. We landed on the more universal idea of a tiny pry bar, a multi-use addition on the back end of the flashlight that could drive screws, open bottles, open lids, cut boxes – basically, could open anything we needed in our daily lives.”

HUNT23 provides a beautiful balance between minimalist style and maximum usability, in one tiny package. Just add it to a keychain, and it’s always accessible, yet also so tiny that it’s not taking up space. It’s also a TSA-friendly alternative to pocketknives. The HUNT23 comes with a three-year warranty.

Pledges begin at £28 for one HUNT23, either UV or white light (Save £17 Off Retail Price of £45 [38% OFF]). For pledging £63, backers will receive three HUNT23 units, in their mix & match option of UV or white light. There are a number of different pledge packages available, backers are encouraged to visit: http://kck.st/2AbNTZo

Omnio Lamp is an entire lighting studio in your hands

Versatile yet portable, packed with features and made of quality materials, Omnio Lamp is a lamp you will use daily to bring studio level lighting to all levels of photography. Via crowdfunding, the company, Difference Design, is raising funds to finish production and open a new horizon in traditional professional lighting by creating highly effective, yet affordable professional lamps.

Tallinn, Estonia, 2018-Jun-13 — /EPR ELECTRONICS NEWS/ — Omnio Lamp (www.omniolamp.com) is a professional lighting studio on the go. The lamp is portable, adaptable, light weight and packed with features, making it an entire studio-on-the-go. Omnio Lamp was unveiled today on Indiegogo and is raising funds for mass production with a goal of delivering highly-effective, yet affordable tool for professional lighting.

Designed with every professional’s needs in mind, the lamp unifies multiple lighting instruments into a single, high quality unit. Like no other lamp, Omnio Lamp has 4 pivoting arms, built-in barn doors, 264 high quality LEDs providing a staggering 4200 Lumens of professional, flicker-free light, and a CRI of 98.9 for skin tones.

Four rotating arms give soft light from four different sides simultaneously. When its barn doors are inverted, each arm gives 2 rays of light in opposite directions: one direct and sharp, and the other reflected and highly diffused, enabling ‘painting’ with light and shadows. Equipped with a standard mounting socket for tripods, holders and hooks, the lamp is designed to be on-the go, adaptable, maneuverable and practical.

“Whether you are a professional or otherwise just a passionate photographer, videographer, blogger, journalist, designer, seller, or an admirer of great design – Omnio Lamp fulfills all of your lighting needs and demands. We created a solution for the common problem of achieving versatility without sacrificing quality,” said Omnio Lamp’s inventor, Branimir Souc. “Omnio Lamp liberates you from multiple light sources and helps you get better results from a single source of light.”

A programmable and intuitive 12-button display enables accurate control of brightness and color temperature with the push of a button. Made of rigid industrial materials and custom electronics, the lamp is light weight, foldable, and easily charged.

The company has tapped into the science of light as a catalyst for innovating an effective and affordable solution for professional lighting. Omnio Lamp cuts the need for multiple lighting sources and covers a range of tasks with one product.

For anything requiring light, Omnio Lamp provides a specific (and perfect) setting: Interview, photo or video shoot, advanced portrait photography, object shoot, reading or working, outdoor filming or beautiful decor.

Professional, multifunctional yet practical and affordable, Omnio Lamp brings a new perspective on how to perceive and use light in photography.

So, to sum it up: Vampire Energy Loss Sucks!

With the Kickstarter campaign, Vampire Labs is unveiling a simple and sleek, 2-USB port Vampire Proof smart charger that will stop wasted energy. This campaign will enable Vampire Labs to manufacture Vampire Proof chargers on a larger scale.
