The Nite Glowring, manufactured by a company who produce “military equipment and other need-to-see-at-night items”, will provide you with a glowing light using tritium – the same kind of radioactive material that was used for this other glowing keychain.

Of course, everyone knows that laser-sealed borosilicate glass vials that are internally coated with phosphor will create a cold energy that produces a light source when injected with gaseous tritium. It’s as plain as the nose on your face.

A Glowring is small enough and tough enough to attach to anything you might need to use in the dark, a bunch of keys being the most obvious. But because they can glow for up to a decade, you can leave them hanging off things that only come out once in a while like fishing gear and camping equipment. It does have to be pretty dark to see the glow, but that’s the point.

The Nite Glowring is available over at the Firebox.com website for £9.95 (about $15 USD). You will have three different colors to choose from: blue, pink and green.

The UV monkey is a handy mini UV ray detector – small enough to hang on a keychain.

Just expose it to sunlight and it’ll tell you how strong the devious rays are at that precise moment, taking just a few seconds to give you a simple read-out on its cute purple scale. Each part of the scale corresponds to the UV warning scales used in national forecasts too, so you’ll know precisely when to pop your hankie on your noggin and roll down your trousers.

The UV Monkey is available from the Firebox.com website for £3.95 (about $6 USD).

The tiny Ikimono plastic camera, measuring only 1.75(W) x 1.75(H) x 1.5(D) inches, is small enough to hang on a keychain and it features a little cartoon animal on the front.

The Ikimono Camera is available from the UrbanOutfitters.com website for $22.

The GoldKey is a small token that protects your sensitive data using a 256-bit strong encryption. Simply insert the key into a USB port, enter a desired password, and you’re done. Now no one can access the data without your key and password.

One of the most powerful security tokens on the market is also the smallest. GoldKey’s security processor, encryption engine, and hardware random number generator all fit in a case not as big as your fingertip. Two dimensions of the key are as small as allowed by USB plug standards and the last is just long enough to grab easily. This token fits on your key chain, in your key pouch, or in your pocket without the bulge.

GoldKey is not your average hardened device. From its stainless steel case to its titanium-nitride coating, GoldKey is more durable than your everyday USB token. Inside, the GoldKey is filled with an industrial grade epoxy that not only seals the internal circuitry water tight, but deters tampering and provides added strength.

The GoldKey User Token is yours for $132 from the official website.
