Sylvania Dot-It Self-Adhesive Bright White LED Light, Silver, 3-PACKYou may not know it yet, but the Sylvania DOT-it LED Light may just save you a hospital visit.

When I was 15, I got myself into a bad scrape…literally. I had just come out of a cool shower (it was in the middle of Summer, you see) and, like many other post-bath rituals, proceeded to apply a hefty swath of deodorant on myself. I reached into the cabinet beside the sink like I had a hundred times before and suddenly felt a dull but sobering pain emanating from my hand. I yanked it out and instantly realized that I had wounded myself and was starting to bleed copious amounts of blood onto the floor. I freaked, called out for whomever was still at home and, after a semi-detailed, semi-panicked explanation, threw some clothes on and headed straight to the hospital emergency room.

What happened exactly? The cabinet shelves were made of glass, and I had inadvertently jammed my hand on the edge of one shelf, slicing my knuckle clear through to the bone.

As it turned out, like many other superficial wounds, my gash was less worse off than it initially appeared. Thankfully, all the proof I have of that day is this little centimeter-long scar just above my knuckle.

So how will the Sylvania DOT-it LED Light save you a visit to the doctor’s office? If my accident had happened at night instead of right around noon, the shelves would have been lit up and I would have avoided the event altogether. You know I’m right.
