Small gadget? An angled high-CRI pocket flashlight with a magnetic base. I like the Manker E02 series but it's just one option of several.

It's small enough to fit in the tiny pocket on my jeans, gives good light, can be used right from the pocket if I need my hands free, and runs on AAAs (or a 10440 lithium battery for brighter light but worse endurance).

The magnetic base is super useful because I can often just plop the flashlight down while working on something. When I'm upgrading my desktop PC I can just stick the light to some part of the chassis and get light right where I need it.

That's pretty damn good for something that cost me thirty bucks with the 10440 included. And the battery even has a built-in USB-C charging port.
