Looking for small stick-on LEDs

[wus]

Do you know of some very small battery powered LEDs come with suction cups so that they can be sticked on to mirrors or the like?

I'm looking for 1 or 2 of them to shine into my mouth when I'm cleaning my teeth with dental floss or similar, in front of a mirror.

Can't speak for the suction cups, but how about something like the Nitecore NWL20?

NITECORE NWL20 Multifunctional Triple Output Work Light

The Nitecore NWL20 Multifunctional Triple Output Work Light offers a fusion lighting effect of a COB floodlight and an LED spotlight. It boasts a maximum output of 600 lumens and a beam range of up to 93 meters. It comes standard with a 5,000mAh Li-ion battery, which can be replaced to another...

Thanks, but no - far too big and heavy!

I forgot to mention that I'm travelling a lot and want to take these LEDs along. Since I always travel with a big and heavy camera pack I'm extremely baggage weight conscious. These lights should be as small and leightweight as technically possible.

I think a half-watt LED should be strong enough for my application, and ideally it should be powered by a single coin cell such as rechargeable 2032, or similar. Even if this would mean that I have to recharge often.

A couple of Photon 2 lights, with suction cup hooks replacing the split ring?

A Nitecore Thumb then. 25g, 1/10th the weight of the NWL20.

NITECORE Thumb 120° Tiltable Work Light

The Thumb Tiltable Work Light has a 120° adjustable head and offers white light and red light. It is USB-C rechargeable and powered by the built-in battery.

I speak from experience when I say if you are going to bring just one light with you, you should make sure it is powerful enough - even if only temporarily - to handle any unexpected blackouts.

Thanks @PaladinNO !

I just ordered 2 Nitecore Thumb now. The tiltable head should be very useful. I will add suction cups to stick them up the mirror.

2 pcs not because I want a backup, but because my wife wants one, too. My "backup" (aka main) light is a Wurkkos FC11.

That is a nice light! I went with the FC11C as my "budget light of the year".

Been recommended that one and seen that light being recommended so many times here, and I recently got one.
It definitely lives up to the hype.

Crazy thought...since you're at the mirror...have you tried a headlamp, and just angling the light into the mirror to light up your mouth?

 

[wus]

Yes I tried that, but I need to move my head to clean between my teeth, and that then obviously moves the beam of the headlamp, too - away from where it should shine on.

Today the 2 Nitecore Thumb arrived, they are just right. Unfortunately the suction cups that I ordered on thesame day haven't arrived yet.

I switched them on and let them sit there until they were out. Unfortunately I didn't watch them go out - do any of you know if they have any sort of overdischarge protection?

And do you know how long they need to recharge?

The built-in USB charger seems to be of the rather simple kind, it does not charge from a Samsung smartphone charger (which is capable of outputting 5 and 9V) - instead, it slowly blinks the green LED. Other devices that I have, which also work only with 5V, work on this Samsung device without problem.
