Watch the spot
This is a cross between Emson's iScope, a 2012 True Top Spender, and a concept that failed at least twice (see Hug Light, Flex Light Pro). I can state with confidence that combining two flops never produces one hit, and also that combining two hits doesn't necessarily product another hit. But combining a hit and a flop? Hard to predict how that will turn out.
S7 Analysis: The above-mentioned history suggests a bendable task light isn't needed. Watch this spot (or any of the previous ones) and that becomes clear. The demos quickly feel contrived. To be frank, I always thought the iScope demos felt contrived as well. If this one succeeds, it will be a triumph of uniqueness over true problem solving.
