Portable Multi-Purpose Lighting: This Compact Flashlight Includes a RGB Pixel Screen for Gaming Functions
The EDC (Everyday Carry) market just got a whole lot more exciting with the introduction of the LOOPDOT, a new flashlight that combines practical lighting with integrated gaming technology. This innovative device stands out with its unique 52-pixel RGB dot matrix display, which not only shows flashlight settings but also introduces playful elements like a rock-paper-scissors mini-game and a virtual dice [1][3][5].
What makes the LOOPDOT truly unique is its fusion of serious flashlight capabilities with engaging digital features. It offers up to 400 lumens brightness with smooth, stepless dimming and dual beam modes (spotlight and floodlight) [1][3]. Its RGB pixel display brings a retro pixel-art aesthetic to the flashlight, showing animated icons or games directly on its surface [1][3][5]. This transforms the LOOPDOT from just a tool into a fun companion, perfect for users who want their everyday gear to be both functional and entertaining.
The LOOPDOT also boasts a compact design, an IPX6 rain resistance rating, USB-C charging, and the choice of aluminum or high-end titanium casing. It comes equipped with a magnetic back and a clip for easy attachment to pockets or gear, emphasizing convenience for outdoor or daily use [1][3][5]. Priced at around $35 for the aluminum model (with a titanium option at $105), the LOOPDOT is currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter, with shipping expected soon [3][5].
Additional standout features include a fidget toy wheel that controls brightness, blending tactile engagement with tech [1][3]. The RGB pixel display brings games and animations to life, making the LOOPDOT a source of entertainment and engagement during everyday carry scenarios [1][3][5].
The development of the LOOPDOT was influenced by feedback from over 2,500 EDC enthusiasts, ensuring it meets the needs and preferences of its target audience [1]. Its design is inspired by new-age products like the Plaud NotePin, the Apple Watch, and retro gizmos like the Tamagotchi [1]. The LOOPDOT's body is built to handle drops and daily abuse, making it an essential addition to any EDC kit [1].
The LOOPDOT ships locally from the US, the UK, and the EU, and it comes with a 5-year warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee [1]. During the launch, users who order within the first 4 hours will receive magnetic clips along with their order, and 10 lucky backers who register a pledge within the first 12 hours will receive a standard aluminum LOOPDOT for free [1].
In summary, the LOOPDOT is a game-changer in the EDC market, integrating gaming tech and an RGB pixel display into a powerful flashlight, transforming it into a practical lighting tool that also serves as a source of entertainment and engagement during everyday carry scenarios [1][3][5]. Whether you're an EDC enthusiast or simply looking for a unique and fun addition to your everyday gear, the LOOPDOT is worth a closer look.
