Slide Light
- Made by: Suck UK
- More Info: suck.uk.com
Digital cameras have all but eliminated the epic slideshows that used to follow nearly every family vacation, but this light from London's own Suck UK makes the medium shine brightly again. Slip your slides (existing ones will work, or you can look up services that will convert your standard photos) into the slot and flip on the flourescent bulb for an illuminated trip down memory lane.
