LightCap

If you're into camping, festivals, hiking or any other outdoorsy activity you'll need a drinking bottle and a lamp. But why take both when you can take the ingenious LightCap? (Don't worry, that's a rhetorical question so you needn't start racking your brains).
This dual-purpose lantern/bottle has been designed to refresh and illuminate at the same time. How? Simple, its lid contains a sealed unit housing a solar panel, Ni-Cad battery pack and powerful LED light. Brilliant, eh?

Weighing in at only 312 grams with a 1 litre capacity, the virtually unbreakable LightCap is ideal for camping trips, especially when backpack-space is tight. Just think, armed with this eco-friendly device you can enjoy a good glug, go a wandering after dark and illuminate your tent without messing around with a separate light.
Relaxing red
Best of all a handy waterproof switch on the cap lets you change from the bright white LED to a more relaxing red one. Apparently this preserves energy but we use it to replicate that bridge-of-the-Enterprise-red-alert feel. ('Cap'n, ma dilithium crystals cannae take it!').
Solar Power!
Talking of preserving energy, a four-hour 'charge' of sunshine will keep the LightCap shining for hours, so you can go about your night-time business without fumbling around in the dark (unless you want to). And those of you planning an extended trek won't have to worry about ordering a replacement LightCap from the depths of the jungle as the rechargeable batteries will last for at least 300 cycles.
Light sensor for efficient energy use
Whether you're planning a road trip, festival weekend, backpacking trek or you've simply forgotten to pay the electric bill, the Sollight LightCap is the perfect night-time companion. So hit Buy and stay refreshed and illuminated wherever you may roam. Night night.

Mine's on order... In response to Valentino, warm water (not chilled) is actually better for you anyway - it is more easily absorbed and causes less shock to the system!
Steve, London - May '07 |
Looks great but surely if this is to be kept out in sunlight to charge then your water is gonna get really warm.
Firebox says: Good point Valentino, few ways around this one. You could put the Lightcap in the flask section of a backpack, using a elasticised pocket on the side of the pack – this will stop sunlight warming the water (as it’s covered) but charge solar panel. Or maybe use a drinks sleeve or even a thermos sleeve? This will keep your drink at a ideal temperature – this again will expose the top of the lightcap and not the drink to the sun for torch like goodness when it gets dark.
