Gorillatorch Switchback Is Half Headlamp, Half Lantern

Sometimes you need a light that you can set on a table. Sometimes you need a light you can strap to your forehead. The 130-lumen Gorillatorch Switchback is both.

The Switchback’s main module has five LEDs – one XP-G LED spotlight and four white and red LED flood lights – which are adjustable from five to 130 lumens. But it’s where you can put that module that things get exciting. Clip it to a supplied headband and it’s a headlamp. Pop it in the supplied shell and it’s a lantern. Pop Gorilla’s signature magnetic spider legs on that lantern and you can wrap this thing pretty much anywhere you damn please. $US60 over at Joby. [Joby via Uncrate]
