Smartphones and similar devices are integrated in every facet of so many people's lives that they are used even in the dead of the night when laziness ensues and light is an issue; the CordLight for iPhone solves one basic problem. It allows people to charge their phone in the dark without struggling to find the port. The CordLight for iPhone boasts a built-in light around the end of the connector for this very purpose.
The CordLight for iPhone was conceived by Scrap Pile Labs, a design studio based in Melbourne, Florida. It is specifically equipped with two touch sensitive LED lights that immediately shut off as soon as it is connected with a device. By being touch activated, it eliminates the need for more buttons while providing a cleaner design.
