Quick ABITAX tag light review

hazna · Nov 28, 2011

I haven't noticed this light before on cpf, so I was quite intrigued when I came across it at the MoMa store in new york. Doing a quick search for it on cpf, shows that it has been around for a little while, but just doesn't get much press these days.

Here's a quick review I did of it on my blog:

cute but seems very expensive for what it is. I dont see how it can beat a fauxton style light. Looks kinda cheap and cheesy. Those push switches are really just a piece of plastic that presses down on the contact wires on the LED to the battery Pos/Neg . I dont see how they can justify $18 bucks!! The clip is nice though

I agree, there is no circuit or driver in the light, so it's quite expensive for what it is. On the upside, it does honestly feel like it weighs next to nothing.

How does this compare with one of those SO-LED units? They seem very similar in shape and function, albeit certainly not in price.

Unfortunately I don't have one of the country comm SO-LEDs, but from what I gather, I would say the ABITAX is smaller.

Crazy, that can't be more than $3 in material/production costs. Neat little light though.
