How many lights do you have?! I have 10+, spanning categories from bike lights, to desk lamps, to headlamps with multiple in each. Why the F#CK is that the case!? Well, I already know the answer, but I believe the thesis of this project is that the original answer is out of date.

The main reason for the large variety in lighting tools stems from the idea that specialized solutions can offer optimized performance in each instance. However, I would argue that the optimization is on the order of dollars and 10's of grams. So maybe it's worth it!

***Disclaimer, this is a project I chipped away at off and on between 2022 and 2024 as college student. My grand vision was to launch it as a kickstarted but I lacked the conviction to take it to the next step. Looking back, I'm deeply proud of the project but stand by my decision to table it.
