Are you looking for an affordable yet unique gift idea for a friend who appreciates design innovation and simplicity, or for a promotional gift idea? Then let me recommend you the doulex Pocket Light.

Launched back in 2008, this credit card-sized pocket lamp in the shape of a folding light bulb continues to impress around. This is the reason I chose it from MiniInTheBox.com for this review. It’s unique, simple, affordable and catches eyes around.













The doulex Pocket Light was designed by Hyun Jin Yoon and Eun Hak Lee as a promotional gift idea, featuring a credit card shape to easily fit inside your wallet, a flat light bulb that turns on as you fold it, two LEDs and one standard CR1216 battery hidden at the base of the bulb.

This decorative pocket light has a size of 86 x 54 x 3 mm and is easy to use with a one-step operation, with one hand. It comes in a simple carton box and was launched in White, Black, Yellow, Pink, Grey, Green, Dark Blue, Light Blue, and Purple. As you can see, my sample coming from MiniInTheBox.com is the white one.









Things you can’t do with the pocket lamp:

I’m sure many will be disappointed to discover that you can’t use the portable pocket light to find your way in low-light areas. Its not that powerful.





Things you can do with the pocket lamp:

Well, the card lamp was designed as a promotional gift, but I think it would look nice on any desk as a decorative light. You also can keep it inside your wallet and use it in dark areas to find small accessories inside your bag or to open the door. I would also recommend it as a unique gift idea for your friends, when you need to buy more gifts while having a limited budget.

If you like it as much as I do, you can purchase the Mini Folding Card Lamp from MiniInTheBox.com for $2.99.
