Meet illumibite: The Flashlight Built to Bite - And Built to Work Smarter

CLINTON, N.J. - July 16, 2025 - PRLog -- Introducing illumibite, the first dual-use flashlight designed to offer both precision handheld lighting and true hands-free functionality—no straps, no forehead sweat, and no uncomfortable bite rings. Compact, USB-C rechargeable, and ultra-durable, illumibite launches today on Kickstarter.

"It's for anyone who's ever had to awkwardly hold a flashlight in their mouth just to get the job done," says Founder Dan. "And let's be honest—that's most of us at some point."

A Solution Born from Real-World Frustration

illumibite was born out of necessity by Dan, owner of Solar Pest Solutions, who installs critter guards on roof-mounted solar panels where he found himself in tight, awkward spaces frequently needing light. Frustrated by headlamps that slipped, fogged up, or interfered with safety gear—and tired of constantly holding flashlights in his teeth—he and his wife, Jordan, set out to create a better hands-free lighting solution.

What Makes illumibite Different?

• Dual-Use Design: Use it as a handheld or go hands-free with a soft, ergonomic bite grip designed to fit comfortably in your mouth. No more awkward biting on rigid plastic or worrying about straps.
• Pinpoint Beam Control: The light follows your exact line of sight—no bouncing beams or misplaced shadows.
• 7 Light Modes + Memory Function: White: 5, 20, 50, 150, 300 lumens; Red: 5 and 15 lumens.
• Built Tough, Travels Light: Weighs just 3.6 oz, IP65 water/dust resistant, and engineered to withstand demanding environments.
• Long-Lasting & Rechargeable: USB-C powered with up to 50 hours of runtime.
• Clean & Personal: The removable bite grip is easy to clean and covered when not in use. Available in 10 colors.

Why It Stands Out

Unlike traditional headlamps or crude bite-light hacks, illumibite is purpose-built for comfort, function, and hygiene. The custom mouthpiece is modeled after a sports mouthguard—offering a secure, jaw-friendly grip for extended use. It's designed for real people doing real work: tradespeople, mechanics, first responders, outdoor enthusiasts, and DIYers alike.

"This isn't a flashy gadget," says Jordan. "It's practical tech that solves a problem people didn't even know could be fixed this way."

Launching Soon on Kickstarter

illumibite is launching soon on Kickstarter, where backers can be the first to get access to this innovative tool. Early supporters will help bring this smart, user-inspired design to life—and shine light where it's needed most.
