Your phone's light can't output anywhere near 250 lumens. I'll agree that $50 is expensive for a backup battery, but not for a decent flashlight. (note the $50 option includes the dock and AC adapter. There is a $35 option with just a USB cable for charging).

I also currently own a USB backup battery, made by APC. It's smaller than an iPhone 5, but both kickstarter projects I linked are even smaller.

Anyways, I'm just curious if anyone keeps up with Kickstarter and knows any other cool gadgets on there I should be drooling over.
