Night runs from 6–10 p.m. can leave proof-of-delivery photos looking muddy; has anyone found a small clip-on or magnetic LED that’s durable, USB-C, and under $25? Clear photos and gentle light help customers feel confident their order’s safe and let us add a quick personalized note without startling them, so I’m looking for something that balances brightness with courtesy.
I’ve been using the Newmowa 60‑LED clip light — USB‑C and usually under $25 — clipped over my phone and tilted slightly down so the beam bounces off the door for the “gentle light” you want; PoD shots during 6–10 p.m. runs stay clear. The clip can slip on thicker cases, so I wrap a thin rubber band around the phone for extra grip and keep brightness at mid to avoid glare. Do you need a magnet for mailboxes, or would a phone‑clip setup cover you?
