I've said it 100 times before, and I'll say it again...I heart LEDs in a big way. They're so easy to get crafty with, but if you'd rather buy your dad a pre-made LED gizmo, the FLEXiT from Striker is an awesome gadget that would actually be wildly useful.
What makes the FLEXiT so handy for so many different applications? Just take a look at Striker's official description:
The FLEXiT Light is a hands free flexible LED task light. It’s ultra-thin, flexible silicone body allows an unlimited amount of light projections. The durable Shape-Loc™ frame makes it easy for users to bend, fold, wrap, stick or hook the FLEXiT around objects to position and aim the light. FLEXiT uses 16 Lumen Tech™ LEDs with three light functions (low, med, and high) that can be bent into positions to create a focused spot or a broad flood light. The durable ABS base holds 3 AA batteries (included), the electronic switch and circuit, two large neodymium (rare earth) magnets, and a loop to hang or mount the light. The FLEXiT is 0.85” thick, 7” wide, and 13” tall.
In short, it's a flexible panel of 16 LED lights that can be configured to any shape and can be stood in place or stuck to a metal surface for hands free lighting.
How can you beat that for a green Father's Day gift? The only thing that comes close is Striker's LED Light Mine or LED Light Mine Pro. The FLEXiT will set ya back $29.99, but I think that places it solidly in the uber-awesome yet budget-friendly gift range.
