There are many types of lights and lighting that can be useful for many applications. The lights also make great gifts. Lights are an essential part of everyday life. Without lights to light up the night, where would we be? Here are some great ideas for useful and practical lighting to gift to friends and family for any occasion.

LED flashlights

First of all, flashlights are a great gift for almost any age. Today, you can buy flashlights that are tiny but produce a tremendous amount of light for their size. For children, flashlights are a fun gift. We all remember those nights reading a book under the covers and of course using a flashlight so we could read the words on the page. You can buy special book lights that attach very easily to the top of a book and precisely project the light down the page. These book lights make great gifts for teens, adults, and everyone in between. Really, just about anyone who reads could use a book light. For children, you can buy small lights that fit in your pocket. They also come in many colors. These little lights make wonderful gifts for anyone, of any age. Women can carry these little lights in their bag to use for daily chores or emergencies. They also make wonderful stocking stuffers.

Emergency lights

There are also manual flashlights available that allow you to turn on the flashlight for a few minutes by turning a crank located on the device. These eliminate the need for batteries and are perfect for emergencies. There are also emergency devices you can buy that can be battery-powered, solar-powered, or hand-cranked. These devices include a flashlight and an emergency radio. Many also include a USB port so you can charge your cell phone or other device using solar or hand crank power.

outdoor lights

Outdoor lights are great gift ideas for newly married couples or for a housewarming party. Consider gifting a set of solar powered path lights. These handy lights use LEDs and include a solar panel on top of the light to catch the sun’s rays during the day, then automatically detect when it’s dark and turn on. These handy lights are basically set and forgotten and add security to your home.
