Tech Tools: SOI handbag light sheds light in dark space

Device automatically kicks in when you open your cavernous handbag

I’ll admit to an eye roll when I saw this one. A huge one. SOI’s handbag light automatically kicks in when you open your cavernous handbag, saving you time rummaging around in the dark for your keys or your wallet. And this is from someone whose handbag was nicknamed “the Tardis” due to the amount of stuff that I could pack into it.

Need a USB key? Got that. A battery charger? Yep. Mobile phone? Tablet? Portable hard drive? You get the idea. Yet even at that I couldn’t imagine myself spending €25 on the SOI handbag light.

It would probably come in handy for the more organised among us who would remember to replace the two AAA batteries when they inevitably run out. Because that’s the one thing I don’t carry around.
