I have a bit of a reputation amongst my friends for being hopelessly forgetful. As well as forever leaving my stuff at people’s home, forgetting to bring my wallet, phone, keys or all the above, I am also very talented at losing items immediately after placing them down. It’s like the sideboards and tables in my life simply swallows up my stuff. The Loc8tor Lite has been designed exactly for people like me - this credit card-sized handset directs you exactly which way to walk to your lost item, and will work easily through doors and wall.
This is the smallest and lightest mini homing tag of its kind. Weighing in at only 6g, you can attach it to anything without even knowing it’s there. It has a range of 122meters (400feet) in clear line of sight, and doesn’t require any ongoing costs, GPS, apps or Bluetooth connection. There is also no need to charge up the device, as the CR2032 batteries will last you up to 12 months and can easily be replaced for a few pounds. The Loc8tor Lite uses RF-based technology that combines audio and visual indicators to help you find your item; simply press the relevant button and the handset will light up if you are within range of your item, the lights will change from red to amber to green to let you know you are getting closer, and will detect you item to within 2.5cm. The locator tags will also emit a small beep to help you pinpoint your item.
The Loc8tor Lite comes with two Lightweight homing tags and the handset, which is a little tight as the handset works with up to four tags. The extra two tags must be bought separately at £19.99, making the full set come to £100. The Loc8tor Lite is easy to use and helps you to quickly find you items. Apart from a few hiccups where it failed to detect my keys at first, even though they were within the house, it is unobtrusive and a time saver. However, I’m not convinced its build quality and limited features warrant the large price tag. RRP £59.99
