Blackburn USB Flea front light review
Convenient charging

Published:
Don’t be fooled by the picture, this is a tiny front light – it’s just 4cm long and weighs a mere 18g. Diminutive it may be, but the four LEDs put out a more impressive light than its size suggests.
Where the Flea really scores, though, is that you can recharge its internal lithium-ion battery on your computer using a supplied USB connector (a solar charger is available for an even more eco-friendly option).
A full charge supplies three hours on steady light and a flashing option is also available. And if white’s not to your taste, it comes in five other colours, including blue and pink.
