As with so many creative product designs, what makes this so appealing is its combined simplicity and functionality.

While something so small naturally cannot have an extended battery life nor an extremely broad range of illumination it is nonetheless a handy emergency light for such things as at-night car repairs or for more mundane functions like a travel reading lamp.

Designed by Duck Young Kong: The idea is based on a common and natural behavior of putting your hand on the forehead to measure internal heat of their body. Checking the temperature by scanning the forehead with this device is easier and faster, since it eliminates the need to insert an external tool while holding them in a still position.
