Stretching It

Different jobs call for different measures.

November 1, 2003

Different jobs call for different measures. Essential Gear tries to meet all of the qualifications with its Aluminum LED Stretch Light. For your standard "shine a light on me" job, the Stretch Light emits a bright white LED. For hands-off work, the Stretch Light can do double duty as a mini-lantern. It's water-resistant and good for 100 hours of light time. Prices start at $25.
