I knew USB ports were versatile but I never expected to be plugging a working light into the USB port on my laptop.

The new FlyLight from Kensington is a very stylish lightweight, flexible-stemmed LED (light-emitting diode) working light that can be plugged directly into the USB port of any computer to provide illumination right where it is needed.

Just the thing for public speakers and presenters using a laptop in a darkened room.

Business users are often reduced to working in dreadful lighting conditions on trains and planes.

All that is changed as the FlyLight provides more than enough light to keep any mobile computer user happy.

The FlyLight's LED will last up to 100,000 hours of continuous use - which equates to around 11 years of constant illumination.

It will not run your laptop battery flat either, as it uses less than 90 seconds of battery charge each hour of use.

The flexible swan-necked lamp unit stays where you put it and delivers light exactly where you want it. It is easy to install - simply plug it into your USB port.

There is no software to confuse the issue as the lamp works direct from the USB's power source.

An excellent piece of equipment and one that will be invaluable to the mobile workforce. Having tried it in a number of situations, this great little lamp does exactly what it says on the box.

With its unbelievable low price, the FlyLight will be another winner for Kensington.
