Earth Day is.... y'know, the day we celebrate our dying planet by turning the lights off, put up a hashtag on Instagram and Twitter while ignoring the irony of wasting electricity to get your post uploaded, because awareness and all, and buying an overpriced t-shirt printed in China for some sort of environmental awareness, because screw labour rights.
To be honest, I have no idea what it is, so whether you took notice of Earth Day's significant global pointfulness or not, the one thing that we all can take notice is that Gearbest is having their Earth Day sales for select gadgets, appliances, and other items, all made in the land of perpetual Christmases, China.
Here are our top five picks for EDC everyday carry tools as well as other gadgets of interests.
1. Convoy L6 Camping Flashlight
Need something that could alert xenomorphs from 500 metres away to feast on your giblets? Then the Convoy L6 might be the beefy searchlight for you! The Convoy L6 boasts 3000 lumens of emitted light via CREE XHP70 N4 LED bulb housed in a large reflective cone, making it an indispensable choice when you need to scout your perimeter from your house's windows, or going innawoods somewhere in isolated parts of Colorado where communes of deranged doomsday cultists reside. The Convoy L6 uses a dual switch design where the tail switch acts as the On/Off Button while the side switch selects lighting modes. To keep this luminous beast constantly fed with the souls of fallen heretics, the Convoy L6 runs on two 26650 batteries. Waterproof to IPX8 standard. The Convoy L6 Camping Flashlight can also be purchased on Amazon.
2. ThiEYE T5e WiFi 4K 30fps 12MP Sport Camera
If you're a cheapskate bastard looking for a budget Go Pro style action camera, check out the ThiEYE T5e, an action camera that looks kinda like a Go Pro, except that it's not, those copyright flaunting pricks. Powered by an Ambarella A12 Processor and IMX117 Sensor, the ThiEYE T5e is able to record videos at up to 4K resolution at 30 frames per second (1440p at 60 frames per second) in 170-degree wide angle view. The ThiEYE T5e is able to shoot still photos at 12 megapixels and comes with wi-fi and image stabilization. Supports up to 64GB Micro SD/SDHC/SDXC. Comes with waterproof case. No, I'm not sure if this action camera is the right one for shooting POV fetish porn. The ThiEYE T5e WiFi 4K 30fps 12MP Sport Camera can also be purchased on Amazon.
3. M7 Smart Watch
If you're one of those people who don't get the appeal of spending US$300 Dollars on a digital ticking device that gives PTSD to your military veteran friend but still feel obligated to jump on the bandwagon of the hottest trends anyway, you can do all that for just around US$30 and a bit more with the M7 Smart Watch. The M7 boasts your standard fare smart watch feature without the need to pull a Payday heist: heart rate monitor, blood pressure monitor, social network updates, sleep monitor, and the biggest surprise of all *gasp* it tells you the current date and time. The M7 Smart Watch is available in three colour options: black, rose gold, and silver, with a choice between a metal band (no, not AC/DC) or leather band for the wrist strap. The M7 Smart Watch can also be purchased on Amazon.
4. Xiaomi MJDJJ01FY Bluetooth 4.0 Walkie Talkie
From the same company that brought you terrible headaches from excessive phone radiation, comes an unusual entry from Xiaomi: the MJDJJ01FY Bluetooth 4.0 Walkie Talkie. Now you too can act out fantasies of working as a dead-end underpaid mall security guard, but at least you look chic and stylish while doing that thanks to its fashionable design and totally-not-Apple white colour, which is a far cry from the Motorola-esque aesthetics and ABS plastic black of most other walkie-talkies. The Xiaomi Meh-Jeh-Deh-Jeh-Jeh-Oh-One-Feh-Yeh features a micro USB charging port, location share function, eight days standby time, FM radio function, and hands free talk. The Xiaomi MJDJJ01FY walkie-talkie is currently unavailable on Amazon.
