Best Buy: New Hat the Latest in Techie Gadgets

The solar light cap is a little more than your traditional ball cap. It has a few tricks up its sleeve (or shall I say, under its brim).

The solar powered baseball cap was recently developed in New Zealand and incorporates LED night lights under the brim that are charged by a flexible solar panel on the top of the hat’s brim.



In as little as 2 hours of sunlight, the lights are charged for a running time of 2-18 hours. On a full charge, it will run for 36 hours. Best of all, you control the light from low to high beams or a clever “SOS” flashing mode.

The hat is ideal for canoeists. It keeps you out of the sun, lights up the dark and is conveniently, waterproof.
