Our Review

Now and then you come across a gadget that surprises you.

Go Travel is well known for travel gadgets, and you can often see their items at many airports. You don't normally think of Go Travel when you think of camping gear.

Well, that view might change now that we've tried their mini-floodlight.

Shaped like a large pen, it looks more like something you'd find in a doctor's surgery, and not something for the outdoors. I was a little sceptical when the guys at Go Travel sent one over for us to look at - but don't let its looks deceive you!

Packed with the latest 'COB' technology, this little gadget puts out a lot of light.

COB, by the way, stands for 'Chips on Board'. It means they've crammed a lot of LEDs into a small space — two rows of them.

It was pitch black when I took these photos. As you can see, the light is very bright.

We've got a collection of head-torches and lanterns, but this little 'pen' is ideal to slip into a backpack or a pocket, so something you can keep handy for camping, hiking, or whenever you are out and about. (I've lost count how many times kids have dropped things in the dark!)

The Go Travel Mini Floodlight is available on Amazon, as well as shops selling travel accessories.
