Tent stake with built-in LED light makes late night tent setups a snap

Gear Diary Tent stake with built in LED light makes late night tent setups a snap photo

This orange stake looks like any other tent peg. Look closer and you’ll find that there’s a white LED lamp built into the side. Powered by 4 LR41 batteries (included) this peg will help you survive those hurried late night tent setups by illuminating the ground. The manufacturer claims the light will run for up to 5 hours on one set of batteries.

Cool. Wonder how durable it is? Would not be a bad idea to use these for staking in the the fly guy-lines. You could turn it on at night and illuminate them to avoid tripping over them.
