Solar Powered Hat with Lights is Likely Second Runner-Up in Middle School Invention Fair

2clight

The 2CLight Hat reminds me of that Northern Exposure episode where Walt wears a hat with lights that shine in his eyes to combat Seasonal Affective Disorder, but he becomes addicted to the lights and runs into someone with his car while wearing the contraption and driving. And I’ll bet you thought I wouldn’t be able to come up with a relevant joke about this solar LED hat? (Am I alone on that episode?)

Sadly, it will never live up to its Northern Exposure inspiration. It relies on a flexible solar panel on the brim to charge a battery that will power two LEDs on high for two hours after the sun goes down. Walking around blinded by a light that lets you see as far as the brim of you hat is a wonderful alternative to letting your eyes adjust to the dark.  The 2CLight costs $35.
