Sentina LED Emergency Light

Want to save money on electricity bills and help preserve the environment as well? Then you just have to try the Sentina LED-92M. It's an energy (and budget) saving emergency light from Datexx. Here's the press statement for you guys:



Available now for immediate delivery from www.datexx.com, the new Sentina LED-92M four-way emergency light is just that: four lights in one unit that has a retail price of $30.00. Fully charged to support motion, darkness, and power outage sensors, the Sentina LED-92M light simply plugs into any standard AC outlet and performs for one penny per day. The upper light activates only when approached, in darkness, or in a power outage. When disconnected from the socket, the light will also perform as an emergency flash light for up to eight hours.

The Sentina LED-92M is perfect for use in kitchens, hallways, bedrooms, and bathrooms — literally any place where emergency lighting may become necessary on a moment’s notice. No other emergency LED light comes close to delivering this level of performance reliability — and peace of mind security — at any price!

The Sentina LED-92M is part of a complete line of Green Home lighting products available at www.datexx.com. Each LED lighting solution is remarkable for its unique mix of features. Available in models for kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, bedrooms, and patios, all Sentina LED lights are designed to perform when needed in the most energy efficient ways and at retail prices under $45.00.


Imagine no longer fidgeting around for the flashlight when a blackout occurs. The kids most of all would appreciate this having in their bedrooms so they won't be afraid of the dark when the blackout happens.

It may be a bit pricey but think of all the money you can save! It only costs a penny a day and it'll help you as long as it's functional. This is such a treat for us during the hard economic trouble days we're having right now.

Totally recommended.

Hand Winding Solar Camping Lamp with Charger


I truly hate lanterns and for one simple reason. They take about six different D batteries to stay powered. Who honestly keeps D batteries around? I don’t think I even own any gadgets anymore that require that particular type of batteries. Well if you really don’t want to have to stock pile batteries, this small lantern uses other forms of power to make sure that your activities stay well lit.

It not only has solar power to charge it while the sun is up, but you can also use the hand crank. You can either have it shine 6 LED lights at once or go for the more dim option of 3 at once. The lantern is 18.5cm x 8.3cm, so it’s not the largest lantern out there. It also has a mobile phone charger for emergency situations. Even if it’s not the greatest lantern for camping, it’d be great to keep around in your car or basement as a part of an emergency kit. You can purchase it for $34.99 from GizFever.

Cluster Bomb for seed planting


Anti War activists hate cluster bombs – mostly because they can be used to deploy anti personnel mines which don’t get picked up long after the last bullet has been fired. And when they go off, even children are victims. But can the technology be harnessed for more constructive and green purposes? Designer Hwang Jin Wook seems to think so and as such, he came up with the “Seedbomb.”

The concept is amazingly simple and represents the coolness of out of the box thinking. Instead of tiny bombs known as “bomblets” or anti personnel mines, the SeedBomb has Seed capsules aligned in a cluster configuration. Each cluster of capsules is packed into a single bomb with dozens of others and when the bomb reaches optimum altitude, the clusters are released to embed all around the impact area. Each capsule contains soil and seeds housed in a biodegradable plastic. The soil is packed with plant rich nutrients and moisture enough to allow the plant seed to germinate (the plastic canister acts as a defacto greenhouse) and grow until the plant can sustain itself. As the plant matures, the biodegradable plastic canister deteriorates until there’s nothing left.

The idea is brilliant for deploying to areas stricken by desertification or deforestation. And It’s easy to see the Forestry department using them to reseed areas that have recently fallen victim to wildfires or bark beetle infestation. But can just planting plants change an environment? Not on it’s own, but if you consider that with all the golf courses it has, that the average temperature of Palm Springs has DROPPED 20 degrees in the last 25 years, it’s worth looking at.

Eizo Nanao New EcoView Monitors


Earth day may have been last week, but that didn’t stop Eizo Nanao from making monitors with an EcoView Sense feature. This feature allows the monitor to enter into sleep mode if no one moves in front of it for 40 seconds.

How is this possible? These new Eizo Nanao monitors come equipped with motion detectors that can somehow sense a moving form before the screen at maximum length of 120 centimeters.

So when you go to step out for a snack, you will come back to find your PC sleeping on the job. You may wish to disable this feature.

These new Eizo Nanao monitors come in two forms. The first is the 20-inch EV2023W with a 1600 x 900 resolution, 178 degree viewing angles, and a 3000:1 contrast ratio. The other is the 23-inch EV2303W, with a TN panel of 1920 x 1080 resolution, 160 degree viewing angles, and a 1000:1 contrast ratio.

Both of these monitors have a brightness of 250 cd/m2, along with a VGA and DVI-D input. Another eco-friendly feature is the monitors have an ambient light sensor that is designed to adjust the brightness according to the light of the room.

I don’t have a release date or a price on these eco-friendly monitors, but we will probably be seeing them quite soon.

Amcor Wall-Mounted Plug-in Air Purifier with Nightlight


An nice choice for the bedroom, bathroom, or to take along when traveling, this small but powerful air purifier features a whisper-quiet fan and filter system that helps promote healthy indoor air. To use, simply plug it into any 120-volt outlet; the wall-mounted unit will operate as long as it's plugged in. The air purifier draws air in at the top and bottom of the front grill, charges incoming particles with ions, then collects the particles on its dust-collector plates before expelling clean air out into the room from the center of the front grill. The unit's Ionic Electrostatic filter captures even the smallest airborne particles, and its washable dust-collector plates never need to be replaced, which means no-cost easy maintenance. Furthermore, the air purifier comes with a soothing blue built-in nightlight that turns on and off with a manual switch. The ETL-listed plug-in air purifier measures 2-4/5 by 3-2/7 by 8-2/3 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Price: $29.99
