We recently discovered that, following Power Practical's successful Kickstarter project last September, their Luminoodle product is now available for purchase.

If you're unfamiliar: Luminoodle is a flexible, waterproof, USB-powered LED rope light that can be hung, strung, hooked, stuck to, or wrapped around basically anything, thanks to its custom noodle ties, built-in magnets (one at each end), and the utility loop at one end. The included rip-stop nylon carry bag is designed to diffuse the rope's bright light output, thus doubling as a nifty lantern:

Works great for camping, auto repairs, biking (loop the rope around your torso), or wherever else you might need a light.

Luminoodle is available in two lengths — 5-foot and 10-foot — each of which can optionally include a battery pack or "fast-charge" battery pack:

• 5-foot: $20
  • with battery pack: $32
  • with fast-charge battery pack: $60
• 10-foot: $30
  • with battery pack $50
  • with fast-charge battery pack: $70
