At the right side of the page on the link, almost at the top, the is a pink bar that says "contribute now"
They won't be available for a while. This is a way for start up companies to raise capital to continue developing their ideas.
This one was especially good because if you purchase one, they will also donate one to a family in South Africa in your name and you get pictures.
Kind of makes you feel good inside, and who doesn't need that now a days.

Would be good for your bug out bag or earthquake kit.
They say the low setting with a lithium battery it will go 1200+ hours on one battery.

Pull it out 1/4" so it's not charging and you can leave it there forever. Or you can toss it into a cubby as well.
My USB charger is on a constantly powered outlet so that I can charge a phone overnite or whatever when the truck is off. So when it's not in use, it is pulled out 1/4" to turn it off. Easier than putting a power switch on it. Less complexity and lower parts count means lower chance of faulty parts.

when i replaced all my interior lights with LED bulbs, it was suddenly so much brighter... this was great when at camp, but just getting out of the rig while on a night run would destroy my night vision for a moment. so i wired up alternate red LEDs inside the factory overhead housings on their own switch. the Grand Cherokee's factory interior dimmer switch had a setting that completely disabled all the interior lights, so i just use that setting on night runs and then switch on my red LEDs whenever i need.
normal lights on:
red "night vision keeper" lights on:
when i did this originally several years ago, the red LED's i used weren't that bright. i just replaced them with these from oznium.com and they are just right now (i used 2 modules per factory housing). they just stick on and have ultra thin wires, so you can easily add them inside a factory reflector while leaving the white bulbs in place too.
i know a guy that took the idea to the next level and added a switch and wiring so that he could turn all the interior lights from white to red on command and still have them come on/off with the door opening. that was neat but too much wiring for me

Foot switch for lights in front ...
I wired up this foot switch down low for some bright LED lights I installed ...
It operates like an on/off switch . The LED lights are not quite , uh , legal for street use . My purpose is using them is
off road , or possibly on remote mountain highways , so I wanted to be able to quickly turn them off when
other cars approached ...
Here is the lights I got up front so far , headlights , round KC driving lites , and the LED's down lowest ...
