Product Description
The Griffin iBeam adds more functionality to the iPod you always carry with you. It's a snap-on flashlight that attaches to your iPod,iPod mini or dock connector. Add a little light to the stuation next time you're in a dark parking lot, or looking for something in the car at night. It also includes a class IIIA laser pointer -- handy for iPod-friendly presentations and other, less professional pursuits. The laser pointer's beam is so powerful it can be seen over one-quarter of a mile away. The iBeam is fun, functional and easy on the budget.
Amazon.com Review
While your iPod won't start washing your dishes anytime soon, Griffin is committed to making sure it does just about everything else. The iBeam is the latest manifestation of this effort, turning your iPod into a combination flashlight/laser pointer, which is a handy combo for people who take their iPods everywhere. The package actually consists of two different attachments, both of which fit into an iPod's headphone and remote ports (they only work with docking models, including the iPod mini). Griffin recommends using the iBeam flashlight to find keys in the dark or to locate a keyhole when the porch light is off, while the laser pointer makes a good business aid during presentations. The accessories are compact and smooth, with shapes that seamlessly complement the iPod's contemporary design.

Both the flashlight and the laser pointer are easy to use and are a truly useful iPod accessory. |
Features and Performance
Both the flashlight and the laser pointer are easy to use--simply snap on and point. They're also free of buttons and switches, turning on when connected and turning off when removed. And because they draw their power from the iPod itself, users don't need to worry about batteries.
We tested the flashlight attachment first, and it performed nicely. It emits a moderate amount of light with a relatively soft, wide beam. The beam certainly wouldn't make it as a camping flashlight, as it's too diffused to light a clear path, but it's more than adequate as a keychain-type light. iPod owners will find it particularly effective when they need to examine items in poorly lit rooms, such as the words written above the buttons on stereo components.
The laser pointer attachment, which is equipped with a class IIIa laser, works even better. Whether you're using it to enhance a PowerPoint performance or merely entertain your restless kitties, the bright red laser shows no signs of dimming. Both iBeam accessories also include snap-on caps with small holes for attaching to a keychain. This is a nice touch, as it would be easy to lose the iBeam items otherwise. --Rivers Janssen

Will not work on he 5G iPods.......2007-05-15
Disappointing as it is not something that works on the new iPods and Griffin has discontinued it
Works only with old ipods.......2007-05-12
This was touted as good with "all dockable ipods"but does not work with Ipod video, etc. I gave it away to someone with an older ipod. There needs to be a slot next to the earphone jack for this to work. Ad is deceptive!
Greatest Cat Toy Ever!.......2007-04-24
Okay, so go ahead and laugh at me. Only a cat person could turn an iPod into a toy for their pet, but it works great! I hated paying over $21 for batteries to fill up the laser pointer for my cat every month. This is such a great solution. No batteries needed because the iPod just recharges in the dock.
Not for the new IPOD.......2005-12-29
I got this as a Christmas present, and the person buying it knew what IPOD I had (IPOD Video), but there is nothing on this page or on the packaging to indicate what versions of the IPOD it works with. So disappointed! Amazon needs to modify the item description to indicated which versions of the IPOD this works with and which it doesn't.
fun but imperfect.......2005-12-21
The main problem is battery life, but that is not a huge obstacle for brief uses.
I put the lanterns on my car key chain. It's convenient, and the torch or flash light really comes in handy in places like Disney World or the road at night when looking at maps: focused light is better than overhead car light.
Also, the torch or flash light is brighter than is generally credited. It will not work as a fully functional lantern, but if it's dark enough to warrant a lamp, you can see the ground with 20/20 vision.
Product Description
Introducing the Griffin iBeam set, ready for your dock-connector iPod or iPod mini. The snap-on flashlight is great for finding keys in the dark. The other half of the package is a class IIIA laser pointer, handy for iPod-friendly presentations and other, less professional pursuits. Both units come with a snap-on protective cap that can be attached to any keychain for convenient portability and accessibility.
The iBeam flashlight is surprisingly functional when a quick beam of light is required in a dark car or doorstep. The iBeam laser pointer is an amazingly powerful red laser beam that is capable of being seen over a quarter of a mile away. Need we say how much fun this could be?
The Griffin iBeam represents a new category of iPod accessories that are fun, functional and easy on the "iPod gear" line of your budget.

Get 'em...while you can still own them. 8).......2005-01-07
While I can't use the laser pointer anywhere within 50 miles of an airport anymore, nor can I use it to "induce a cat to excerise" (US Patent #5,443,036), it works well as a laser pointer. Beam was brighter than I had expected. While the flashlight LED wasn't as tight of a beam as I had hoped, it was far brighter and whiter than I thought. I've had a few people ask me if I really intende to bust out my iPod for board meetings. Yes...ANY chance I get to bring my iPod to a boring, stale-air closed meeting...you bet I will. If this product provides you with that excuse, it is well worth the money.
Product Description
Exterior Speakers are like other speakers in name and function only. To correctly produce a speaker for exterior use requires not only specialty raw materials but also experience in how the speaker is to be used coupled with real historical knowledge of how speakers have behaved in an exterior environment of almost unlimited complexity.Many companies new to producing exterior speakers, mainly as an accessory or product range add-on, come to a point that, even with the application of the best available technology, materials and engineering, the product does not perform either at its designed characteristics or life in the field despite the theory.This is where TIC Corporation decades of experience in designing, testing, manufacturing and supplying exterior speakers is proven.
Amazon.com Product Description
Many companies produce outdoor speakers, but few actually specialize in the field. TIC, however, does exactly that, which is why its ASP-120W exterior patio speakers are such a find. Hailing from the company's Architectural series, the full-range 120-watt speakers feature a weatherproof design with Teflon-sealed internal cabinetry and UV-resistant ABS housing, ensuring that neither rain showers nor scorching sun will damage the circuitry. They're also switchable between 8 ohm and 70-volt applications (with settings for 2.5, 5, 10, 15, and 20 watts), so bars, resorts, or other businesses can use the speakers for commercial applications, or homeowners can simply set them up near their backyard seating area. In a pinch, listeners can also install them indoors, as they're certified for both interior and exterior use.
More importantly, the speakers sound crisp and clear thanks to the high-quality Y30 ferrite magnets and low-resonance frames. The speakers also boast 6.5-inch polypropylene cone woofers and high-density blown neoprene mounting bumpers, which combine to deliver a frequency response of 95 Hz to 20 kHz.
And unlike many exterior speakers that quickly wear down because of cheap, unreliable cabinets, the ASP-120W's housing resists infestation, mildew, and fungus growth for years of long-term performance. Additional features include five-way gold-plated binding posts that ensure a top-quality signal transfer and adjustable swinging brackets that let listeners adjust the speakers to the perfect angle. Each speaker measures 7.6 by 12 by 8.6 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 10.25 pounds.
What's in the Box
Two ASP-120W speakers, mounting brackets and fasteners, user's manual.
