Coghlans likes to save my life a lot.

I broke one of these and checked it in the closet.
I could read the DVD cases fine. Still going next morning, way over 12 hours.
What I liked was it wasn't round, but six sided so it won't roll when laid on a surface.
Also it has a hook and a hole on the end. The cord supplied with the stick won't go thru the hole, but stays on the hook tightly.
