Unique Gifts for Men is an internet retailer offering unusual and practical lighting giftware for tradesmen and do-it-yourselfers who prefer tradesmen quality tools. This online store offers LED lighting tools that are designed to take advantage of the small size and low power consumption nature of LEDs. These LEDs (light emitting diodes), are electronic light sources and are far more efficient than traditional light bulbs which use burning filaments to produce light.

According to John Schira, Business Development Manager for Maxxeon Inc., a manufacturer of LED lighting tools, "This is the time to begin conversion of lighting from inefficient incandescent to the highly efficient LED electronic lighting. LEDs are the light source of the future. Incandescent bulbs waste 90% of the electricity they burn by generating heat - not light. Fluorescent bulbs are more efficient than ordinary incandescent bulbs, but they contain mercury, a toxic material that pollutes our landfills. As well, both incandescent and fluorescent bulbs are fragile - they break easily and compared to LEDs, they have a short life. Many jurisdictions are banning incandescent bulbs in 2012. LEDs are quickly replacing incandescent and fluorescent bulbs in many applications because they are bright, they don't break, they don't get hot, they are eco-friendly and they typically last for more than 50,000 hours."

The product theme at Unique Gifts for Men is cordless portability, a major consideration in the design of any type of workplace lighting. One example of the advanced LED lighting tool design that is available from the company is the WorkStarâ„¢ model 1200 trouble light, a tool originally designed for use by auto mechanics, but is now in use by various trades including industrial "maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) as well as serious do-it-yourselfers (DIY).

The giftware retailer supplies a range of LED products including inspection lights, flashlights and work lights; all powered by LEDs. Featured products include a new 175 lumen flashlight that fits in the palm of the hand and a cordless high powered inspection light with a flexible gooseneck. Although all of the lighting tools have been designed for daily professional use, these products are also in demand by hobbyists who appreciate the features and durability inherent in industrial quality tools.

One of their products, the energy saving WorkStarâ„¢ is not a flashlight - it is a portable, cordless, rechargeable task light that uses a state-of-the-art high efficiency LED to produce light; this product exemplifies the green, high tech theme of the Unique Gifts for Men product line.The WorkStarâ„¢ features a unique two axis moveable light head that lets the technician direct the light exactly where he needs it. The light works well as a "hands-free" lighting tool since the user simply suspends the light by its retractable hook or by its rare-earth magnets and turns the LED light head to direct the light to the area that needs to be illuminated. The WorkStarâ„¢ uses rechargeable batteries and because of the efficiency of the LED, it lights up the work area for over 5 hours on a single charge. A full charge on dead batteries take about one hour and forty-five minutes, but it is not necessary to fully charge the batteries before using the light. With as little as a fifteen minute charge, the light will run for over an hour.

As LEDs become increasingly brighter and even more efficient, Unique Gifts for Men plans to stay on the leading edge of technology, bringing these future new green products to the American worker and consumer as soon as they become available. Visit http://www.Unique-GiftsForMen.com
