The squirmy innards can be slid out with a little effort if you need true 360 degree shine-age, say, when tossing one for a room-clear marker. This also allows you to leave the hard mounted sleeve in place and switch colors or replace a dead V-Lite with a fresh one without remounting it. The marker comes in IR and 3 colors, red, green and blue. They can be ordered as constant-on, flash or both.
If you haven't handled one, the V-Lite is a disposable marking light. It's an LED, switch, battery and circuit board encased in soft, clear silicone. The things weigh nearly nothing, are dead-simple to operate. They're bright as any chem-light and burn a heck of a lot longer than 8 hours. MSRP $40. Get more info from S&S Precision/V-Lite
