LightCap Solar Water Bottle
by Bridget
For the holidays, the project manager at work gave us these as a gift:
Which was super neat-o. Why? Because this isn’t just any water bottle. Notice it’s called the “Light Cap.” Because THE CAP LIGHTS UP. It’s so multifunctional-ly cool. But wait - there’s more! The light is powered by THE SUN. See the square at the top of the bottle? That’s a little mini-solar panel that stores solar energy. Then, see the little black thingy on the top? That’s a switch. Flip it one way and it’s a white light. Flip it the other it’s a red light. I used the water bottle today at my indoor soccer game (more on that in a ‘mo.) My teammates were intrigued. Also, the interior light in my car doesn’t work, so it helped on the way home from the game when my sister (also on the team) thought she dropped her keys back at the arena. We used the flashlight part to find them in my car.
For being a durable water bottle and a flashlight, it’s a good deal at $29.99, considering LED flashlights usually retail for 20 bucks and durable water bottles sell for 10 bucks.
It’s here: water bottle
Anyway, the other thing I like about it is that it’s a good water bottle with a tight lid and it holds 32 oz. of water. This was good because it meant it lasted throughout the entire soccer game tonight. We played a bunch of little whippersnappers (ages 17-21) again, and these ones were ruffians. My sister Chrissy was a like a bull out on the field, knockin’ down little chickies and throwin’ ‘bows. It was an aggressive game indeed. Even I got into it: I stuck my foot in the air and tripped the girl who pushed me from behind (a million times) when we both were battling for the ball and I fell. Later two of hooligan girls ran into my knee, which is now on fire. We ended up winning anyway. I think it’s because we had three strings. And, of course, because I was well hydrated.
Final Score: 4-3
